GET ready for the two Tongan giants to collide.

The stage is set for another meeting between Bronco Tevita Pangai junior and North Queensland dynamo Jason Taumalolo in the XXXX Derby in Townsville on Thursday night.

Last time the two teams played Pangai was on a mission, destroying anything that came near him.

He also played a part in a regulation tackle that unluckily left Taumalolo injured.

The pair are good friends and teammates from the Mate Ma'a Tongan international team.

But by the sounds of things there will be no quarter given on Thursday night.

“We all know what Tevita is capable of, he showed that against us in Round two,” Taumalolo told the Courier Mail newspaper.

“He’s still learning on his terms. He’s still a young player.

“Obviously the way he does play, like the way he played against us in Round two, he’s definitely one of the best young forwards in the game.

“I haven’t really thought about playing him since then but I’m looking forward to playing Tevita come Thursday.”

Pangai will be a big inclusion for the Broncos this afternoon when he makes a return from a one-week suspension.

The Broncos’ team for the XXXX Derby will be announced at 4pm.
