Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3587314, member: 1769"] Ben Ikin has cleared TPJ to return to the QLD cup. sounds like TPJ might be interested in playing for Souths Logan under Hunt. [B]Ben Ikin said[/B] “It would be great to see Tevita back in our competition,” said QRL chief executive Ikin. “He made the decision to step away from rugby league to pursue other opportunities. “We are very proud of our competition and for those that choose it as a destination, someone of Tevita’s profile and ability is a vote of confidence in what the Hostplus Cup competition brings to the rugby league ecosystem. “We would certainly register his deal.” Just turned 28, Pangai Jr has played 138 first-grade games and Ikin is adamant the former Bronco can again succeed in the NRL. “Of course Tevita can make it again in the NRL,” he said. “If Souths Logan is the place he wants to play at, that’s a great club with a great history. “I think the world of Karmichael Hunt, he is an NRL head coach of the future. “Tevita just needs to get himself back in an environment he is enjoying and where he fits in and finds a way to play his best football consistently. “No-one can deny Tevita’s footballing ability, so if he sees the Hostplus Cup as a good way for him to step back into the game, we’d welcome him to our competition.” [B]TPJ Said[/B] “The Queensland Cup is definitely an option,” Pangai Jr said. “Me and ‘Hodgo’ caught up in October for the fight in Townsville, we fought on the same card. I was having a joke with him about playing Queensland Cup and now it might become a reality. “It would be pretty good to play for Souths Logan to help my fitness if I did come back to the NRL. “I have a fight planned for March and hopefully after that fight I can start in the Queensland Cup and help some of the younger boys at Souths Logan. “The speed isn’t the same as the NRL, but I believe they hit harder in the Queensland Cup. “It can be more physical because there’s not as much wrestling as the NRL, so it would be a good test for me.” [/QUOTE]
