Locking in Terminator

-

TEVITA Pangai has ended a year of speculatio­n by signing a new deal with Brisbane.

Now the hard work begins to beat a frustratin­g injury curse as the Broncos look to unleash Tevita the Terminator next season.

Dubbed “Jason Taumalolo 2.0” by teammate Corey Oates, Pangai is hoping to emulate the Cowboys wrecking ball by building a stronger body.

A 12-month extension gives Pangai sufficient security without the risk of complacenc­y as he strives to deliver the most consistent, injury-free footy of his career.

Even Taumalolo believes his Tongan Test colleague can be the most explosive forward in the code but first Pangai must fix weak hamstrings which belie his monstrous 113kg frame.
