Official Bulldogs sign Tevita Pangai Junior for next three seasons

[Philmus]

i’m throwing it out there, TPJ is a smokescreen for SJ.

Why do we need a smoke screen for SJ when its well known that we've made an offer and hes wanting to come?

 

[maltalian_dog]

Elliot v TPJ hmmm
Napa v TPJ bigger hmmmmm

 

[Philmus]

Don’t be surprised if the Roosters sign Taupau and/or TPJ; the Dogs end up with JWH/Liu

Where's this coming from?

Yes i second this..sauce please?

 

[flamebouyant]

Nasheed said they are fine if you wash them out though.

Up the bum no babies!

 

[flamebouyant]

Anyone saying no to him, lemme ask you this... is he better, even on a quiet day, than 95% of the fwds we have right now? Are there many better on the market that we could realistically sign? I would say the whole Broncos squad have been shit the last 2 seasons... not just him... somethings wrong at the club and I would gamble on him coming good at a new club...

He definitely offers something our current pack lack, tackle busting, offloading power!

 

[SweetFA]

Yeah but does he want to go to a mediocre club like the Tigers and play under Madge?

I think with our potential recruitment for next year, we might be far more attractive for TPJ to choose. Our attitude in defense is better than the Tigers and Broncos even though we have an inferior roster. Shows that if we add a few class players, we'll be competitive.
We don't have to go all out for him and match the Tigers offer, we're a club on the up and we can sell him that.

Admirable that you put the Dogs above the Broncs & Tigers. Realistically we’re at the bottom of the food chain- the only reason a player like TPJ will sign these clubs is purely motivated by money - he’ll demand in excess of $700k when negotiating with the Tigers & Dogs

I think his stocks have taken a hit. He has been shown the door by the Broncos and most clubs have already filled their roster.
If his asking price is too much than we can tell him to go jump. Only 3 clubs to pick from... Tits, Tigs and Dogs. Those two clubs have been mediocre for years and will not win the premiership in the foreseeable future. Tigs preference is Finucane anyway so that only leaves us and the Tits.

and Leinu who can't get a proper run at the Panthers (I think he's a beast).

Throw the Sharks into the mix -

The Warriors will sign him. They seem to have a sombrero these days.

 

[fooch]

Heme Seie from souths would be a better and cheaper option than tpj

 

[The DoggFather]

Omg yes please!!!!!! Why the fuck would Titans want him? They need a half and some backs lol

I think they meant Tigers not Titans. I know they both start with T and have 6 letters but we know "journos" aren't that bright.

Nrlol losing more ground in NZ against a more professional sport?

 

[B-Train]

The Warriors did just lose RTS who was on a million per season, so it's not as if they wouldn't have cap space.

What was RTS reported to be on?

About a milly. Some of that might have been TPA's but they could use TPA's on pretty boy Shaun as well..

Surely the rumoured 700k uses 3rd party payments.

Doesn't the Vodafone guy still own them?

That was Eric Watson. A few years ago an NZ company bought them.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Ownership moved from Eric Watson to the Carlaw Heritage Trust in 2018 and then to Mark Robinson last year.

Always a Bulldog
