Gould also gives TPJ two thumbs up, but falls short of "showing interest:"
“We were all a bit shocked when he gave it away last year. If he’s had a second think about that and wants to come back to the sport, I think the sport will be better for it wherever he goes. He certainly has our blessing to go wherever he likes.”

'Why I'm staying' by Tevita Pangai Jnr
Tevita Pangai Jnr couldn't get a start at the Raiders. So he sought out Wayne Bennett's phone number. Three weeks later he made the call.

I dont have huge expectations for the start of the season TBH. Kevy has proven all the haters wrong and if we have a rough start to the season its pretty forgivable given the circumstances. Our mainstay players have had a hugely disrupted pre season and are going to be travelling halfway across the planet twice within weeks to play NRL. If we come away after the first month with one win ill be more than happy.

There is a rumour here:
Latest Rumours
Bailey was a nice in our team........we do not need another NICE guy. we need an aggressive backrower , someone who makes opposite players look to see where he is. The only EX player I would like back is Sua. Else we need to find a similar BIG aggressive backorder with stamina.

Old mate there reckons the only ex player he wants back is Sua, he lost me there.
We ALL know exactly who Souffs want back, even if he is prone to the odd injury and misses a few games a year.

Wayne denies interest in Tevita:
“Tevita is a very gifted player but we have our squad in place and we’re very happy with what we’ve got. Look, I have a history with Tevita, he came to the Broncos because he wanted to be coached by me and I have a lot of time for him as a person. But the reality is Tevita has made his decision to move on with boxing and he hasn’t been in our thoughts. There’s no doubt Tevita could come back and make it again in the NRL, but I’ve got a quality forward pack and our salary cap is pretty full.”
“I don’t mind a bit of pressure for spots, but not to the point where you piss players off who think they have no chance of playing NRL because Tevita is in front of them. We’ve added Tom Flegler from the Broncos and if you look at our best 17, there’s a few very good forwards who are going to miss the starting side. If I brought Tevita back, that adds more pressure on everybody. I really enjoyed coaching Tevita. He played his best football under my coaching, but we have got a good stable squad here.”
“Whether Tevita can play well again in the NRL ... that’s not a problem at all in my mind. He has only been out of the game for six months. He has done plenty of NRL pre-seasons and boxing is a tough sport that requires fitness, so if Tevita came back he would be in good shape, but he won’t be coming back with us.”
