Official Bulldogs sign Tevita Pangai Junior for next three seasons

[CrittaMagic69]

I feel like the data is inaccurate for this stat.
The meters gained is high percentile while the number of runs is not that much higher than Kikau but then the M/Run shows very low?
Doesn't correlate to me.

You I'm not sure, the public data that's available is different across sites. I've got TPJ @ 7.9m per run so I don't think he should be that low on the ranking.

Maybe he should've played better this season, very underwhelming.

He's got his big contract now, hard work might not matter so much any more.

You'd think this recruitment drive + money = Cheese....

 

[bradyk]

do the Panthers really need TPJ? Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin, Viliame Kikau, Kurt Capewell, JFH, Moses Leota, Spencer Leniu, Sorensen etc.

If they want to beat the Storm (regardless what they do they can't anyways, but increases their chances I guess...)

Either our photoshop skills having become god level or Baz got tevita in for a sneaky photo shoot

Def photoshop, Its not to the level of quality as your avatar, so definitely photoshop.

Also is it just me or does he look like a curry there? Bangla/Pak/indian origin.

I am really struggling to see how we could afford another marquee, assuming we dump another 400 large on PV.

Yes, definitely doesn’t match the 1:1 replica that is my dp. Ive always thought he looked a bit Indian. Btw you just set yourself up for some Indian jokes from bulldogsteve about to come in

That would be the cherry on top

 

[grunta]

Metres per run. He's around 7m per run.

Then add post contact metres to that, would be over 10m per run I'd say! He's always bending the line back and poking his nose through with strong carries or running at the line with late footwork, offloading at will...

 

[Gene Krupa]

Why would they have a 10 page thread about it if they didn’t give a shit

Probably because they want to talk about League & how their team is getting rid of players they don't want. Same thing happens here.

yeah I know, i do that alot, but his race hate doesnt phase me because im not indian, Im lebanese. People saying otherwise are just buying into propaganda.

When the sub continental people and the lebs were fighting in the late 2000's in Harris Park, I stood alongside my lebanese brothers in the beatdowns. For whatever reason my presence really irritated the opposition. But anyone there would know where my loyalty was. #brothersinbattle.

Dufty pads his stats a couple times a year against weak opposition, that's it. He has ability but unless there's some major change behind the scenes then I expect TK to turn on him very quickly.

I reckon he passes the eye test in attack, generally speaking. He scares the shit out of me defensively though.

 

[Novdoggie]

The Broncos must be desperate to get rid of him for some reason.

Probably forward loading salaries into this year freeing up cap space for next year

 

[Hulk76]

That's definitely not his body lol

He's a flat track bully imo. As soon as there's pressure he fails to deliver and it's why we were pretty much the only club after him and got him fairly cheap.

Thats still ok though because we have struggled to score and ice out games on those flat tracks
the brisbane and canberra game come to mind, would be great for a flat track bully.

Yeah, valid points. I don't hold out great hope and wasn't particularly excited by the signing. At least it's only for one year though.

 

[amapusae]

Really? His player management company is the one that posted it

Only if we don't concede an extra 2+ tries because of him and the games gone.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Exactly my point. Some stats normally tell the story but some don't. Klemmers PCM always is off the chart, but mostly ineffective as he takes so long to complete being tackled, rarely offloading and then forever to play the ball.

Gets tackled always ends up on his back, then flaps around like a walrus trying to get up to play the ball..the bigkoont
