The Broncos have already seen Tevita Pangai jnr leave the club this week,first signing a three-year deal with the Bulldogs to start in 2022 and then a three-month deal with the Panthers for the end of the current season.

The Broncos told Pangai in June he was free to look elsewhere for next year and had originally weighed up an offer from the Wests Tigers.

But Tigers coach Michael Maguire was unable to secure his signature,an outcome he described as disappointing on Friday.

“We’ve got to move forward we are a club,” he said about missing out on Pangai. “We are definitely building through our youths and looking for great talent to continually join us. Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don’t but Tevita is a good fellow and I wish him all the best.”

Pangai is set to join Penrith ahead of their round 21 clash against the Roosters.

Coach Ivan Cleary said he believes the 25-year-old’s short stint will be a test for the club’s culture,with many believing the signing is a risky move for the premiership hopefuls.

“That’s the challenge that we all have to embrace and I’ll have to take responsibility for it personally,” Cleary said ahead of Saturday’s clash with the Broncos.

“For a short period of time in our environment I’m confident he can add to us and we might be able to help him a bit as well.”
