Message: [QUOTE="Gaz, post: 2983005, member: 9463"] Tevita Pangai Jnr to South Sydney a question of when, not if October 26, 2018 10:57am Source: FOX SPORTS Tevita Pangai could join Wayne Bennett at South Sydney in 2020. WAYNE Bennett’s stunning deal to coach South Sydney from 2020 could have repercussions for Brisbane’s playing roster. Rising NRL star Tevita Pangai Jnr is believed to have agreed to a one-year deal with the Broncos for 2019 and is hotly tipped to follow Bennett to Redfern. Pangai Jnr has a close bond with Bennett that originates from his time in Newcastle when the star forward was a standout in the lower grades. From there he played three years with the Raiders’ under-20s team before relocating to Brisbane to link up with Bennett. Speaking on Fox Sports News, The Australian journalist Brent Read said he would be stunned if Pangai Jnr wasn’t at the Rabbitohs in 2020. Earlier this season Bennett spoke of his special relationship with the 22-year-old Tonga representative, saying the reason he is at the Broncos is because of him. “He came here because of me and that’s why he’s here at this club, for no other reason,” Bennett said. “I am just pleased he is playing the football he is. We’ve got a pretty special relationship. “I always knew what he could do and we just had to give him the time to be able to do that.” Just last week Pangai Jnr confirmed to The Courier Mail that he was only interested in signing a one-year deal with the Broncos — not because he is waiting to see where Bennett goes, but to test his value on the market with another season under his belt.
