Tevita Pangai Junior

[hobbo1]

We will probably sign Josh Jackson now

Jaydn okunbor

 

[yeahcaz]

We like 0 in five with dogs recruitment. DWZ, Nadine, ado Carr, pangi, Burton

They kill us don't they. The thing is it can't continue. They look like they are going to be a top 4 team next year.

Who ? The bulldogs ?

They will struggle to make the 8

 

[earl]

We will probably sign Josh Jackson now

That is good one. Well played.

 

[GCfan]

@THE_POM @CCTW @tigerballs any updates?

Jayden Okunboor.

We’re chasing him?

Please god no. I will eat nails if we lose pangai to them and take Okunbor

Want a Bunnings voucher?

If this guy is worth the 800k some of you want to pay for him, why is his club who are very short on quality so keen to get rid of him, and why has he not even got close to origin. Game 1 the blues had an apparent "back row crisis" and he wasn't mentioned.

The Broncos have great talent and more coming through the grades. It is a production line. What they lack is our halves. Put Brooks and Doueihi in their team and their outside backs would be extremely dangerous.

So why don’t we look at some of the others on that production line that won’t cost 800k a season?

Another Simpkin type player would be nice, this time make it a back rower.

Kelma Tuilagi is his name..

Fletcher baker would be good

 

[THE_POM]

As of right now the club has not heard back from TPJ’s management nor have they returned the clubs latest attempt at communication……….appears he’s made up his mind.

thats pretty poor form if that's true.. Makes me feel better if we miss him with that attitude.
Moving onto Funicane ?? @THE_POM

Can’t see us even having a hat in the ring for Funicane, not formal offer was made, his a management wanted all deals on the table last Friday so he could make a decision this week.
Unless they entertain an offer this late he won’t be joining us.

Cheers mate... As fans this is just heartbreaking and I can only assume the powers in the club would be just as frustated. (they better be anyway) ..

Extremely frustrated, not getting a simply response from a player manager after attempts of communication is just simply rude.

How are the extensions for Seyfarth and Mikalee looking?

Both have deals on the table.
Mikaele being chased hard by 2 clubs, club is asking for answers on contracts prior to August 1 for front loading purposes.

 

[Harvey]

I am not sure how the dogs have money to keep paying overs for every player.

 

[WT46]

As of right now the club has not heard back from TPJ’s management nor have they returned the clubs latest attempt at communication……….appears he’s made up his mind.

Anything else in the works?

Edge Forward is main focus/depth.
As well publicised junior ranks main focus with stockpiling of lower grades. Egan Butcher had a discussion with Hartigan end of last week, deal to be presented to his management this week.

@THE_POM Any news on Fletcher Baker wanting to come here and the young souths half? Sorry forgot his name.

Belmore bound: Pangai Junior chooses Bulldogs over Tigers in $2.2m coup
Michael Chammas
By Michael Chammas
July 19, 2021 — 6.45pm

Canterbury’s impressive rebuild is set to receive another major boost, with Brisbane enforcer Tevita Pangai Junior set to join the Bulldogs on a three-year deal from next season.

Sources with knowledge of negotiations told the Herald on Monday night that Pangai Junior has decided to link with the Bulldogs over the Wests Tigers, having been granted a release from the final year of his deal at the club


It’s expected Pangai Junior’s management will formally notify the Bulldogs on Tuesday. The contract with the Bulldogs is believed to be worth $2.2 million over three years.

The Wests Tigers offered the same money, however Pangai Jr has elected to go with the Bulldogs after a week of mulling over the decision. It is understood the Tongan international notified Maguire of his decision on Monday night.

After removing themselves from the race a fortnight ago, the Tigers came back to the table last week with an offer worth $400,000 more than they originally discussed.

Pangai Junior’s decision to join the Bulldogs comes in the same week the club managed to land the major coup of Phil Gould as general manager of football.

Gould hasn’t wasted any time settling into his new role and spoke to Pangai Junior on Sunday as he was considering his future.

Pangai Junior’s decision to link with the Bulldogs is a huge blow for the Wests Tigers, who continue to strike out when it comes to landing a big recruit.

While Michael Maguire has copped flak for a perceived inability to bring players to the club, the Herald has been told Pangai Junior was impressed with the Wests Tigers coach.

The decision to join the Bulldogs was based around an improvement in their roster for 2022, with Pangai Junior to join Matt Burton, Josh Addo-Carr, Matt Dufty and Brent Naden at Belmore. Paul Vaughan has also been linked to the club.

The Wests Tigers have only managed to lure Super League duo Oliver Gildart and Jackson Hastings.

The Broncos were willing to release Pangai Junior immediately, however the Bulldogs are yet to decide whether he will join the club before the August 1 trade deadline.

The Bulldogs need to decide whether it is worth their while paying money for Pangai Junior in 2021 when they are next to no hope of playing finals football this year.

Meanwhile, St George Illawarra have reignited discussions with Wests Tigers utility Moses Mbye. The Herald reported earlier in the year that the Dragons had expressed interest in luring Mbye to the club mid-season, however Maguire shut it down following Mbye’s move to five-eighth.

The Dragons have once again asked the question of the Tigers in the hope of adding Mbye to their roster before August 1 but need to agree on how much each club is willing to chip in to cover his $850,000 salary.

Mikaele would be huge for us

They will struggle to make the 8

TPJ, Burton & JAC along with their existing team. They keep signing players. They should improve a lot.

Id say the Chairman of a Club publicly coming out and saying 'he isnt the right fit' is fairly rude. Then we cry about not getting a return phone call LOL

At the end of the day weve missed out on Latrell, JAC and now TPJ, on every occassion the club has blamed the player or players manager. Maybe the common denominator is something else.

That sort of behaviour is typical of behaviour from a person who has made up their mind against you…..exactly how LM treated us…..

Probably that stupid Tartak. The one that manages JAC. He did the same thing with us when JAC BS was going on.

Thanks,
Is it down to bringing Hoffman / Tulagi into the team to round out our top 30 or is there still a mid season signing in the background?
