Do you (still) want Pangai to be a Rooster?

[zac]

Pangai's got potential, but I'd hate to get him and lose some of our current forwards. I remember when we got Mason and lost Anthony Tupou ...

I think JWH is signed until the end of next year, by which time he'll be 31 and, hopefully, capable of another few years. SST is a must sign. Zane I'd love to keep beyond this year, but if he's offered double what we're offering, then you'd doubt we could hold onto him. Collins and Fauma look good. Isaac is a must sign. Sitili will be hard to hang onto and I'd rather we put money into him than into Pangai, and decide that Isaac will play prop.

No!

Is he....that good anyway?

Reports today that TPJ has told Broncos teammates he is currently weighing up rival offers, certainly seems he is leaning towards leaving the Broncos.

While I think Robbo would be the right guy to maximize TPJ obvious physical talents, signing him would make it more difficult to keep Latrell.

If he followed Mr Handshake it wouldn't be the worst thing, would make it more difficult for the vermin to put together a knockout offer to Latrell.

Interesting today that I read George Burgess is struggling and considering retirement. Could co-incide with TPJ moving on. Although I think he would thrive at our club. At the price he will command, thanks but no thanks. We have other signing priorities on the horizon.

He's like Taumalolo in terms of size. However, he runs 80m a game.

TPG has been a tremendous impact player, especially last year. This year he has failed to live up to the hype apart from one game. Reminiscent of the Napa Souths effort in 2016. As far as consistency goes he doesn't have it in his game on this years form and should be nowhere near an $800,000 a year. I think he would be a destabilisng purchase.

I would bump up Latrell's price as he is by far a proven big match player and probably the most dangerous in the game.

Teams win games and we have great comradeship among the current group. Sitili would be a greater priority for mine and probably using Liu up front. He has a far better workrate that Pangai Jnr and will only get better with time and more weight. Pangai Jnr's explosiveness is countered by his laziness. He has to be fired up. As a replacement for JWH who is fired up as soon as he takes the field, has a bigger motor and is far superior in defence, Pangai Jnr just doesn't meet the criteria.

Yeah that was along the lines I was thinking too mate.

Sitili could be a real topliner in waiting here too.I would love to hear we've recontracted him.

[Parkway_Drive]

It's a no from me re Pangai Jnr.

Agree with the others re our up and comers.

Sitili looks a weapon and we will also need to keep Latrell as he is the rarest of commodities. A genuine 1 million dollar plus a year player who isn't in a spine position. Much like SBW was in his prime being a 1m player from a non spine position. Both genuine big match winners.

[Thirteen]

We could probably re-sign Sitili and Faamasilli and have change rather than buy TPJ. He is an explosive player with lots of potential but I’d rather we stick with what we have. I believe TPJ has had one dominant game so far this year. He ain’t no SST.

I believe thats where he'll end up with Roberts & your right I dont think they will be able to afford Latrell.

[crikey chris]

A better and cheaper option is Fanua Blake from Manly. Very underrated player.

TPJ's so called asking price is ridiculous. One great game every couple of months doesn't deserve a massive payday!

[easts4eva]

A long shot now considering how well Latrells been playing and what we'll have to stump up for his signature.

[Crab]

No thanks we're full . Seriously I would not change one player in our lineup . Back to back and we will annihilate the Raiders on Sunday Arvo . Can't wait !

He’s played better under Bennett and in the World Cup. Perhaps Seibold man management is not suiting his style and isn’t happy which is playing well below last years form. The main factor in this is Seibold which is probably why so many have left the broncos. I’m not writing him off because he could play better under another coach.
