Released due to illicit drug use apparently

Ffs, it’s not that hard to keep your nose clean

Shame He showed promise. He has brought it on himself and deserves what he gets.

 

[Haffa]

It's his second offence according to the Herald.

Seems like a case of idle hands.

I always felt bad for him because of his terrible luck with injuries but after all the hard work he did with rehab over the last few seasons he's gone and thrown it away over something really silly. Pretty sad really as he could have had an NRL career if he'd stayed healthy.

 

[Burwood]

He would have been an ideal bench utility player in the modern game where concussion can play such a big role during a match. Could easily cover halves, fullback, hooker.

He was also one player who I was looking forward to seeing develop and become an eventual first grade regular. Unfortunately, I think he’ll see out his career in the Real NRL now.

 

[Old dog]

Still young, what is the possibility that he would be allowed back if he has attended rehab etc and met any standards set by the club, could rehabilitate this season, train 2019 pre-season and be right to go start of season?????? Just a thought.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Brown hasn't ruled out signing him in the future. I reckon he'll be picked up by another club or go to ESL. Latter might be his best option.
Sio to FB if Ponga misses a game I reckon.

We really can’t blow up when we’re given the “drug castle tag”

Starting for the Gold Coast Titans in their trial this week, btw.

Wish him well- I was really excited a couple of years back to see what he could produce for us as a regular first grader. Hopefully he gets that chance now with Gold Coast.

I was at the game, didnt stand out from what I could tell, nothing special

Thanks Ryan...I did see a lot of potential and talent through the few glimpses we saw of him on the paddock.

It will be interesting to see if he can deliver on some of that potential for the Titans?

I don't hold a grudge and hope he can make something of his chance this time
