Broncos sign Pangai Jr for 2017

[broncoboy]

doesnt anyone have any highlights of TPJ?

 

[talanoa]

Is that true? A 5 year deal? That is ****ing ridiculous. Who does he think he is? Will Zillman?

why are you upset at this kid getting a 5 year deal? i say good on him, he is a dam fine prospect and i think he will turn into one of the best back rowers in the comp. bennett rated him incredibly high during his time at the knights.

Where did I say anything against him?

read your msg and you will understand.

Yeah I read it when I wrote it champ.

It's ridiculous for a club to give any player a five year deal, but if he managed to score it than good on him.

I bet you'd give Macca one.

A five year deal, too. :tongue_smilie:

Yes and yes.

Because anything can happen in 5 years. The guy could be a massive flop, but you are now committed to him for 5 years. He could get injured and never play the same again. You never know what will happen which is why 5 year deals are crazy and are virtually never done. It's the reason Will Zillman's deal is a running joke.

I can't break it down any further for you.

Didn't Campese get one at the Raiders and that kinda backfired on them.

Brent Sherwin, released a year early after signing a 5 year deal in the excitement of '04 premiership and letting Thurston go to sign him to said deal.

SBW walked out 1 year into a 5 year deal.

Zillman has struggled but Titans don't have the money to pay him out so stuck.

Campese released after playing NSW CUP and injured his was a 6 year extension.

DCE remains to be seen.

I can't think of any that have gone well.

But neither had Taylor or Nikorima, and a few of us on here were upset to lose both (myself included). The Nikorima one stung so much we had threads dedicated to people pouring over the Roosters salary cap situation, pulling figures from god knows where (probably the same place as the Raiders fans...) to implicate the Roosters as cap cheats.

Yeah but that's because they're cap cheats.

So who will we lose if TPJ comes this year? Thats the tough question. We have so many young backrowers with skill sets similar to TPJ. He was a little inconsistent last year i heard, but then has a huge rep for a reason

There's definitely more outs than ins.

 

[lionred]

True. Just hard to get them all on the field and keep them from looking elsewhere while in line. Heard a rumour that one of our most promising forwards is being haggled by numerous clubs.

Canberra must want this one to stay alright

So.. we've gone from releasing Copley to scrape together enough money for Roberts to having enough money to sign one of the best forward prospects coming through.. Nice, whoever is running our salary cap deserves a raise. (Or a brown paper bag under the table)
