From Pete Badel:
"Pangai Jr was on the verge of formally committing to the Tigers last month, only for the deal to collapse at the eleventh hour when Wests bosses got cold feet during negotiations and briefly walked away from talks."
Has there ever been a club worse at negotiations lol
we are stupid we either wanted him a month ago or we didn't dumb way to negotiate
Exactly , walk away and say that’s our final price. Don’t come back after you talk to the media and say we aren’t taking it further and make yourself look stupid when you miss out on him.
we just look like fools don't jump back in to negotiations after saying you were pulling out.
Another one lost that is fact
On the plus side ewe have lost worse in JAC and Latrell
May aswell keep aiming at juniors and not overpaying
You don't actually know what happened. None of this is specifically verified - all newspaper rumours.
While Hagipantelis admits that Pangai Jr is a talented player, he confirmed that the Tigers won’t be making a move for the soon to be off contract forward.
“I didn't actually meet with him but I’m told he’s a great young fella, very impressive young fella
***“And we know how good of a footballer he can be but the club just made a decision that that wasn’t the direction they wanted to move, so we didn’t."***
Lee shouldn't say things like that and then go back to the negotiating table. It helps noone.
I don't see that it matters. Also you don't know exactly the sequence of events or how it played out. Maybe TPJ's manager asked us to come back to the table.
My point is why would you make any comment at all? There's no upside to it. He just looks like a goose. He never learns.
Because he can say what he wants, he tips in a bucket of cash every year. Everyone get over it. The minute he stops paying up, he can go back to his law suits.
Lee even admitted he didn't meet Pangai, he wasn't part of those negotiations.
Fans way, way too sensitive.
Tipping in money doesn't give him the right to be an idiot, and i can't recall other sponsors in the past doing it. Every time he opens his mouth the deal never materialises. He's embarrassing.
Actually it does give him the right to be an idiot.
Clive Palmer also has the right to be an idiot, and his millions give him a platform to do it.
Best to just ignore the idiots I reckon, you can't shout them down, they are idiots.
For the money he puts in he's made the club look stupid on multiple occasions and signed a complete nuffie to a 4 year extension. I'm not sure what he's tipping in every year but it would have to be stratospheric to make up for those shockers.
