Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3529347, member: 1899"] Exactly. It wasn't like he was a surplus to the Broncos requirements, Pangai Jr was running amock and Brisbane tried everything to smooth the situation over. For those that need a reminder, he was calling up Politis looking for a gig at the Roosters and got himself suspended for the entire season for COVID breaches looking to force the club's hands. When the club met with him to work on a solution, Pangai had to work a 9-5 and be on good behaviour. That lasted until Madge met with him and Isaako without the club's permission. It wasn't like Pangai Jr was some run of the mill forward either. He was (still is?) one of the most highly paid forwards in the game. His salary cap contributed to the Broncos problems and he went to the Panthers chasing a premiership. It wasn't like they needed him, he was just brought into cover for Fisher-Harris who took time off to be with his pregnant partner in Sydney. It was a luxury signing for them. Same deal with Nofoaluma. It's not like he was some run of the mill winger, he's one of the most highly paid in the competition. There's no way Melbourne could afford him and beggers should never be choosers in a salary tier comp. Also I can't buy the argument that the Storm improved him. If Melbourne improved him, why was he dropped to reggies? By all means, sandbag the thread. I think the carry on is entertaining albeit ridiculous but let's not fight fire with fire. There's no way what happened with Pangai Jr or Nofoaluma was kosher - the same can be said of Chris Walker 20 years ago. [/QUOTE]
