Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3256076, member: 9853"] [I]Brisbane's finest, T[B]evita Pangai Jr [/B]has found a mentor and kindred spirit in cross code superstar [B]Sonny Bill Williams,[/B] who he met through his training buddy [B]Quade Cooper[/B]. Williams contacted Pangai after he was stood down late last season, to offer advice and support. TPJ is in a good place:[/I] "Obviously what I did was wrong last year with breaching protocol. Not only that, it was a good time to self-reflect on my first five years in the NRL and some of the dumb things I did on the field." "I'm just trying to hang out with good people. I got close to Sonny, Sonny's been helping me a lot off the field. Footy comes naturally to me but the big thing is Monday to Thursday. He's a family man, he had troubles early in his career but he's the perfect example that you can get yourself out of it." [ATTACH type="full" alt="BHQ Best 8.jpg"]12781[/ATTACH] "People can change. That's what the game's built on, second chances, and I'm just thankful for Peter V'landys and the board up here giving me a second chance. It's pretty hard to get me out of Brisbane, I love being in Brisbane, I love the club, I fought hard to stay. I'm thankful to the club – Karl Morris, Anthony Joseph and all those guys, I'm really thankful to them for giving me a second chance." "I just go out there and make my tackles and be aggressive with the ball. Do all the little things, not going out there and trying to take someone's head off. Do all the little things in defence, stay in the line, all the little things defensive coach [B]Matt Gillett[/B] is trying to work with me on. I'm pretty happy there, I've been playing there with the injuries but I like the battles I can have out there with Viliame Kikau, Fifita, that kind of stuff. They're trying to speed up the game but there's nothing better than a couple of heavyweights going at it." McHunt [/QUOTE]
