IMO he would be a dud signing, especially for the pretty large chunk of money he is going to cost (even though Brisbane will subsidise his wage to an extent). A bloke who plays 2 good games a season going by his career so far. Wrong type of signing for our club, we need blokes that play 8/10 every week on a consistent basis, not someone that will play the odd 9/10 game followed by a heap of 3/10 ones. A leader who will inspire with work ethic, not some bloke who gets off hanging with bikies in his spare time.
Granted he is a relatively big-name signing but I've got a feeling if it goes ahead we will be talking about TPJ in the same vain as Packer, Reynolds, Ballin etc.
He lacks discipline on the field, he will be seeing plenty of time on the sidelines with the new-found crackdown on anything touching the head. He got put on report for the crusher on Murray tonight didn't he? Prior offences are going to add up to be a big anchor around his neck at the judiciary in the years to come without a doubt.
If he does come to our club I would love to be proven wrong but IMO he's not a great fit for our club.
Not to mention why are the Broncos, possibly back-to-back wooden spooners, offloading him if he is a supposed asset?

There's risk here for sure, but we need a big recruit to start the ball rolling.
TPJ and Luch = awesome
To be fair the BINcos have all been playing bad for 2 seasons now.
I am happy to roll the dice.

Tigers or Roosters is the word

I like this potential signing, he has a huge amount of X-Factor, damaging ball runner with an offload and hits hard in defence.
I also agree he’s been a bit up and down recently but Joe O was the same when he came here but he’s found his form and earnt an Origin recall.
Sometimes players need a change of scenery and a new environment to get them moving in the right direction again, hopefully we can give that to TPJ and he gets back to his damaging best!!

The thing is he would most likely improve his form at the Roosters with good team structure and good players around him. At the Tigers?...not so much and every chance he’ll end up still being average.

If you were Pangai, where would you go if $ isn't the issue
Besides Cordners $ are available
But I don't think he is a Roosters Signing
I think they would be after a Sua or cheese type of player

Do they really want him though?
We really want him and Mange will help simplify his game.

Wasn't only a couple of weeks ago the Walters stated that TPJ was going nowhere and the Tigers were told to keep their hands away from him.
Seems like Kevie speek with forked tongue.

Perfect player for the Tigers. We have a big pack but lack an enforcer that’s explosive with an offload. We have the workers Twal, Tamou and some solid boys In Utoikamanu, Mikalele, Luciano, Blore, Musgrove. Our packs better than Brisbane. Maumalo and Pangai are Madge type of players they are aggressive and physical beasts.
