Tevita Pangai Junior

[avocadoontoast]

Read somewhere that TPJ and our Joe O are close. Might tip things our way (if he hasn't already committed elsewhere)

If we could play to potential every game, I don't think we need anyone, but good players are always welcome.

A gun back (FB for me) would give us a huge edge.

Dane Laurie?

I like Daine, but just think he is just too small for FB, (yes I know there have been many smallish FB's) but IMO, we need someone who can make take tackle breaks with some pace, I certainly wouldn't leave him out of the 17 though?

AD, Laurie, Stef are the future of the club in their current positions IMO. The rest I couldn’t care less about.

Agree with this, just don't see DL as our FB long term?

Entitled to your opinion, I think he will. I think Laurie is a gun and has had a good season.

Never said he hasn't played well, but just think we need someone who can break the line with pace.

He’ll get there. He’s surrounded by idiots in the backline. Put a few better players around him and he’ll go to the next level.

TPJ was in the emerging Blues squad a year or 2 ago .. so I guess that makes him a New South Welshman.

Tpj grew up in ashfield/canterbury. His brother moses played footy for concord burwood united and junior reps for the tigers until cows signed him at around 17. Tpj moved to newy around 15, before that he played rugby union for Canterbury

You're right, it was Moeaki Fotuaika, not TPJ.

Payne Haas was one of the first people to congratulate Thomas Mikaele when it emerged he would become the latest Wests Tigers debutant.

Haas and Mikaele were the starting front-rowers for Queensland powerhouse Keebra Park in 2016, the high school team that also featured Broncos forward David Fifita and Gold Coast teen prop Moeaki Fotuaika and lost to Westfields in the national final.

I think Moses was in his 20s by the time he left. Played Ball and flegg for us, and some nsw cup too i think.

No 17. His last year at concord Burwood was under 16s, I was the year above. Played a stack of under 20s for the cows.

Try bring pangai in this year/next and then Fotuiaka after and that’s a legit scary pack

 

[yeahcaz]

[dazza65]

Don’t believe that page one bit. He posts fake rubbish and acts like he got it from a good source but never tells people who told him. He also said Mikaele signed there the other week

It's sad about his brother, but what has that got to do with him coming or not coming here?

Hooper on his blog still saying he’s yet to make a decision

There's nothing written on the dogs web site or fox news about it?

He tore a peck overload of bench press before making the decision.
