Controversial Brisbane star Tevita Pangai Junior is set to face the Broncos board after several incidents have placed his future with the Broncos in jeopardy, per Fox Sports.
The bullish prop was recently stood down indefinitely by the league and was hit with a $30,000 fine for breaching the NRL's COVID-19 related biosecurity guidelines after leaving his side's respective bubble on numerous occasions.
The 24-year-old is set to meet with Broncos officials to discuss his future with the club after breaching league rules and suspiciously contacting Sydney boss Nick Politis.
NRL reporter James Hooper will meet with Brisbane heads to sway the board in keeping his contract with the club.
โHeโs going to front the board on Friday, that will be done via Zoom because he is in isolation and essentially heโs going to try and convince a split board why they shouldnโt tear up his $650,000 a season contract,โ Hooper told NRL 360.
Pivot Junior has been issued two show-cause notices, with the second following after the initial notice did not include his NRL COVID-19 breaches.
It is believed the Broncos prop will be sacked unless his management can the Brisbane board, with director Darryn Lockyer already having his support.
โHe has got support, Darren Lockyer is supporting him,โ Ben Ikin responded to Hooperโs update with.
โI stand here from a distance and I see someone who appears to be selfish and undisciplined, so thereโs clearly something about him when you get to know him that they see a future in.โ
Who the hell thinks its a good idea to make us have to verify our account EVERY SINGLE TIME we log in? Probably the same person who can’t be bothered proof reading any of these articles. The above is rubbish. My fave being “NRL reporter James Hooper will meet with Brisbane heads to sway the board in keeping his contract with the club.”
Really? James is meeting with the Broncos is he? You sure its not “Pivot Junior” having the meeting. lol.
