Auckland Nines 2017

Yep, Ponga was the highlight of the 9's from our perspective. Geez I hope he doesn't try to backflip our deal at some point.

There's a very good reason NQLD want him for another year.

Can't have him change his mind if he's already in Newcastle.

A long, long time to go.

Sure, and he's good enough already to make an impact for them this year. They don't have too many more years of premiership window, imo.

Paul Green just had a whinge to the media a few weeks ago about clubs trying to get players to break contracts, which is exactly what they would be doing. Would be quite hypocritical.

I don't think it will be a problem though. Everything I've read seems to suggest he and his family can't wait to get down here.

I've seen quotes from him saying he's keen to learn more from JT and the likes this year, but I think the club hadn't treated him well so he'll be happy to leave.

Nah, they would turn it around and say they are not asking for him to break anything, he is.

Anyway, that's all politics. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

That was my thoughts too.. I wonder if he'll start his career as a fullback then shift to 6 or 7 like Lockyer did successfully. I think this kid's got it in him!

Probably only a matter of when, not if.
