Well done to him, looking forward to seeing him in first grade next year.

Well done.

We seem to have trouble converting our toyota cup team of the year players into nrl standard players if you go through the list over the years

Congratz to him.

I feel like this is a 'no brainer' selection though. He was easily our best player, and a class above most of what I saw from any u20's team this yr.

Canberra Raider Tevita Pangai named in under-20s team of the year

Mounties NSW Cup coach Steve Antonelli believes Tevita Pangai is capable of being the next Canberra Raiders young forward to crack the NRL after he was named in the under-20s player of the year on Monday.

"There's still a few things he needs to work on to be up to that [NRL] level, and he knows that," Antonelli said.

"He just need to get those unforced errors out of his game. There's a spot there for him if he applies himself over the preseason. Fitness-wise he needs to be a bit better too but he's got all the skill, power and the right attitude."

Canberra Raiders most exciting up and coming prop prospect since luke page.

Does PANGAI work?

At times he was a class above the rest in 20s, but as we saw from yesterday he does make a few too many mistakes. He won't be able to offload like he does in 20s in first grade.

Reminds me of Papali coming through the ranks!!

He had a team to carry yesterday. It won't be like that in first grade.

He threw a beautiful cut out pass to the winger to set up a try last weekend. He's got great hands. Just gets stuck trying too hard sometimes.
