Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3103574, member: 9853"] [B]Chris Honnery[/B] writes in tomorrow's [B]The Courier-Mail[/B]: Tongan international Tevita Pangai Jr, now in his fifth year at the Broncos, has no plans to kerb his aggressive style but concedes he has to play smarter after missing seven games through dangerous contact and careless high tackle charges. Last year he sat out two-weeks for a late hit on Cooper Cronk in Round 4, one week for a “careless high tackle” on Phillip Sami in Round 19, and four weeks for dangerous contact with James Maloney in Round 22. Says Pangai: “I have to be aggressive. That’s what Seibs (coach Anthony Seibold) re-signed me for, for my aggression so I want to keep that. But obviously with carry-over points, I’ve got to be a bit smarter than that. We’ve got the NRL refs coming in and they’re always on me about repeat offences. That’s just my game. It’s high intensity, a power game. I know where the line is, but if I go out there not wanting to tackle then obviously not going to win the game. Two of them (suspensions) I felt were unlucky. It’s a fast game NRL so sometimes things go wrong. I just want to make big plays and inspire my team.” He says this year's pre-season is one of the toughest ever as Seibold focuses on the squad’s defence. He's been running in the backrow over the pre-season and said he was open to playing on the edge this year: “I feel like I’m an edge backrower but I talk about selfless actions. If I have to play in the middle, then that’s where I feel I’m best for the team. I feel like I’m best for the team on the edge but I feel like I can play both.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
