medically retire ponga

hes gunna be on the sideline now for another 6 months

 

[Alex28]

He should retire.

If it keeps happening more weeks than not, he seriously needs to consider his career.

 

[macavity]

This club is cursed

Master coach AOB lucky he started with two utilities

 

[perverse]

This time was because he decided to tackle with his head.

It's happening too often no matter what he tackles with.

We couldn't be that lucky...

I feel awful for him. But twice in two weeks? Not what can do to change it.

Of course, we end up having our most paid player on the sideline again.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

We're paying $3.25 for the spoon. Juicy.

 

[Vibing]

how pedestrian are the tigers LOL

Yep, this is Luke Keary levels. Just hope he stays off the drink this time. Put him on Ice for the new coach.

 

[perverse]

The worst part is that medically retiring Ponga will get us nowhere either.

There's no-one that will take his money that will come to the club anyway.

Soft ass D Tigers

 

[Alex28]

Great play. Everyone is having a much bigger go so far. Great run by Friz and Dan in the lead up.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Nobody would get off with that head clash. Thing is it's recurrent head knocks with Ponga.

 

[K-Man]

Pretty damning comments from Gus in the commentary. "I don't like to second guess coaches, but I would never have moved him there (to 5/8th) in the first place. And that's not hindsight, what's happened was always going to happen."

I agree with him. I've never really understood it, I just don't think Ponga has ever played in the halves during his career, including juniors, for a reason. He is never going to be able to make a career of this, he's on a one-way trip to retirement at this rate.

 

[Tom155]

Bad technique & we are cursed

unbelievable

 

[Frederick]

Now Brailey is going to be ruled out 🫠🫠🫠

 

[Haffa]

Brailey done. Down to 15.

 

[Vibing]

does anyone know how to tackle these days ?

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Penny just dropped for AOB...
