Tevita Pangai Jr remains on probation after being sprung sneaking out of the bubble last year. The good news is he has so far stuck to his terms, which include working in a landscaping shop, quitting social media, being mentored by Petero Civoniceva and mostly importantly, getting back into shape.
Petero, now part of the Broncos’ welfare department said of Pangai Jr:
“He has been really impressive, during the break he worked really hard and has come back in fantastic shape. I’m really excited about the year ahead for him. It’s a year where we will need a lot from him. His time is right now. He is training really well and the way he has applied himself to coming back in such good shape is testament to his attitude and what he feels his responsibility is to the team. His mindset and the way he’s come back indicates he is in for a big year. That’s exactly what the club needs from him. We need him to be a leader."
“We’ve got some good young forwards but he’s been around the game for a while now so it’s about him taking this opportunity and making the most of it. It’s always a challenge for any young player to get the right balance with your life away from football and what you do on the field. It’s important he has got the right people around him that can help him do that. His attitude and the way he’s applied himself to training is a really good indicator around his mental state. He wanted to come back in top shape which is an indication he has taken the right steps to prepare himself to play well."
“Everyone at the club is excited about the way he has worked hard and applied himself."
“The big challenge for Tevita is being consistent. If he can strive for that consistency every week and be the forward leader we know he can be it will be a great year for him. You can’t underestimate the hard work that has to be put in to do that. The club will get him into a good headspace to move forward.”
Corey Parker concurs:
“I just want to see him reach his potential consistently. He’s put a lot of work in and I’ve had a fair bit to do with him. He’s worked extremely hard on himself and also physically. He is one of those guys that can be one of the best players in the competition on his day. His consistency has let him down and some of his off-field stuff. Working alongside him, he is tracking great at the moment. We’ll see what unfolds.”
