Tevita Pangai Junior
Storm CEO Justin Rodski has refuted speculations linking the club to former Bulldogs player Tevita Pangai Jr., despite coach Craig Bellamy’s interest. Rodski clarified on 2GB Radio that Pangai Jr.’s hiatus from rugby league for boxing pursuits renders him unsuitable for a mid-season signing.
Rodski emphasized the need for immediate contributions from any potential recruit, which Pangai Jr.’s recent absence from the game cannot guarantee. Although discussions have occurred between Bellamy and Pangai Jr.’s management, no formal offer has been made.
Pangai Jr., who previously left the Bulldogs to pursue professional boxing, is reportedly reconsidering a return to rugby league following preliminary talks with the Storm.
