The injury was confirmed following their recent clash against the Sydney Roosters, adding to the Bulldogs’ growing list of sidelined players.
Pangai Jr.’s absence is a considerable setback for the Bulldogs, who have been relying on his strength and versatility in their forward pack. Known for his powerful runs and aggressive defense, Pangai Jr. has been a key figure in the team’s strategy this season. The exact duration of his recovery is yet to be determined, but early reports suggest he could be out for several weeks
This injury comes at a crucial time for the Bulldogs, who are striving to climb the NRL ladder. The team’s head coach, Cameron Ciraldo, expressed his disappointment but remained hopeful about Pangai Jr.’s recovery. “Tevita has been instrumental for us this season. While this injury is unfortunate, we are confident in his ability to recover and come back stronger,” Ciraldo said.
The Bulldogs have already been dealing with multiple injuries, including the recent soft tissue injury to star winger Josh Addo-Carr. The team’s medical staff are now focused on managing these injuries and ensuring players receive the best care to facilitate their return to the field
As the Bulldogs prepare for their upcoming fixtures, the team will need to adapt their game plan to compensate for the absence of key players like Pangai Jr. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the Bulldogs navigate these challenges and continue their pursuit of a successful season.
