Ponga Appreciation Thread.

Armstrong to wing. It's Kalyn Ponga. It's like every time he goes away for a while we forget what a freak he is. Getting the team to have a crack like they are now while he's in the team is the key.

Tuala has been pretty good this season. Much rather Ponga replace Cogger!

 

[macavity]

We are a far better team if Ponga comes back and plays 6... and doesnt get KOed. Armstrong backing up his half breaks could be lethal.

Nah, KP doesn't understand how to position himself as a 6. It just doesn't work.

Our halves are generally so putrid you just have to cop him being the main playmaker and not doing the traditional FB things like armstrong does.

 

[Woody90]

Ponga can’t play 6. It’s not even an ability thing but he copped a significant amount of concussions there. We have a duty of care to protect players.

Armstrong has been great, but calls to move KP to a position that will knock him out are ridiculous.

Move Armstrong to the wing and turn Marzhew into a middle forward.

Was with you until right here mate.

Might be crazy but I think he’d have something to offer coming off the bench as a middle (with an off season there). He makes more impact than most of our forwards on his runs.
He’s making too many errors on the wing IMO and sides are working out that you just need to bomb and out jump him and it’s a guaranteed try.

Not saying I’d do it but just saying that IMO it’s no crazier than moving KP to 6 which we know will jeopardise his health and career to accomodate a kid that’s had some good games against not great opposition.

Besides not good catching high balls Marzhew can’t tackle, is brilliant with ball in hand though.
Middle forward NO THANKS

Yeah true I hadn’t considered his defence.

By the time KP is back, Gamble wouldn't be far off
