Tevita Pangai Jr is one of the many Broncos whose future is unclear with Brisbane undergoing a mass cleanout.
While there were rumours that TPJ could be headed to the Wests Tigers, club Chairman Lee Hagipantelis has confirmed that luring Tevita south is no longer part of the Tigers' plans.
In an interview with SEN 1170’s Breakfast with Vossy Hagipantelis opened up on the details of the discussions with Pangai Jnr.
“There were discussions between the club Tevita’s representatives,” the Chairman said.
“There was no formal offer.
“But there were discussions with respect to provisions of a contract.
“But there was no formal offer put on the table.”
“The club, as it does with all potential opportunities on the market, considered Tevita and decided to move in a different direction.
While Hagipantelis admits that Pangai Jr is a talented player, he confirmed that the Tigers won’t be making a move for the soon to be off contract forward.
“I didn't actually meet with him but I’m told he’s a great young fella, very impressive young fella
“And we know how good of a footballer he can be but the club just made a decision that that wasn’t the direction they wanted to move, so we didn’t.
Pangai Jr's future still remains up in the air, with the forward potentially seeing out his Brisbane contract until the end of the 2022 season.
