OFFICIAL Tevita Pangai is not our problem anymore

Developing:

At this stage it looks like he's seeing out 2021 and joining the Dogs next year, with Brisbane releasing him from his 2022 contract. If that's the case, the club won't need to subsidize the deal.

So does he play against us on this weekend.

He's suspended until rd 20, wasn't named in the panthers 21 on Tuesday and apparently isn't officially contracted to penrith until August 1... so he won't be playing against us

I would’ve made it a condition of his release that he’s not permitted to until 2025

Apparently we arent paying towards his salary next year.

If true that’s a great result

I'm genuinely sorry to see him go. I used to think how great things were going to be. Haas up front, Fifita and TPJ just smashing through. So much to look forward to I thought. Oh well, there are new superstars coming, sooner or later.

I really thought we wouldn't be chipping in. Hope we aren't.

Bit sad about him going but it's a chance to fix this joint. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Yep, that pre season excitement when we were going to unleash Haas, Lodge, Fifita and TPJ on the rest of the comp…amazing as to how it went so wrong.

 

[Broncapz]

We are absolutely benefitting from letting him go early.

Every guy we let go this year is more money we are putting towards the '**** Off Lodge' fund.

Even if it's just 150k, every dollar is going towards the future. Ikin and Donuts know what they're doing.

You too hey? Even after looking past those guys I was rapt with our depth and the media was in love too. Seeplod was coming to Paradise, the Tim Tam packet that always had 11 left!

Badel is getting a bit bold by claiming we were paying TPJ 250k next year (after the Bulldogs game him a pay rise) essentially making TPJ the next million a season player

Also, on NRL 360 when they were discussing the TPJ situation, did anyone notice Kent's response when Vonny said the rich stealing from the poor, and the poor Broncos fans? He said something like, 'well they're only barracking for a piece of cloth' pointing to the jersey on TPJ.
I was thinking, mate if we as fans didn't support the jersey / buy into the tribalism, or 'piece of cloth', the players wouldn't have a job. You Mr. Kent certainly wouldn't have a job. What a weak excuse for a so called League personality/journalist.

The club and the culture of the club/team, is going to be immeasurably better off without TPJ.

So why didn’t we punt him for zero cost when he was breaching Covid Jo?

Wrong people in charge at the time?

Lockyer was apparently instrumental in keeping him, yet another blight on the bloke and his apparent incompetence as an administrator.

no one forced the board to agree with Lockyer

I'm not saying they were and I'm not saying he is alone in incompetence, we've been through this many times of course. Thankfully two of the main culprits are gone, unfortunately two still remain.
