Match Discussion: Round 23 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

Ponga looks pretty good playing in the middle at Origin level so I don't think contact is an issue anymore is it?

What he achieved last season was probably the greatest single player performance in the game’s history. After what he endured to start it. If KP wants to play 6 it will happen. He will know if he is ready. If it meant keeping Sharpe I can see him moving there.

Kalyn wants to win a title here. He will only be leaving here if he gets into the late phase of his career and has yet to look close to it. A quality 7 may be the carrot to get him back into the halves.

LOL, so Sharpe is our best player since Joey and KP the best ever last year? Settle down champ.

Man, what are you on? That is an insult to so many great players from so many teams over the years. Granted his attack in that period was pretty slick, but still was a turnstile in defence just as he is now & drifts in & out of games when he feels like it & quickly offloads to anyone rather than run it back from a kick. Ponga is seen by the media through rose coloured glasses as are quite a few others. I would much prefer to have a well-rounded type player who you can rely on to always be in the game & in the trenches when under the pump in attack & defence.

What Ponga did last year after retirement being a genuine option was fantastic. He was playing great footy and was the best player in the game for a few months there.

People definitely didn’t give our other blokes enough credit though. Our entire backline was playing great footy and the middles were doing a good job too. Guys like Gamble, Best and Friz were fantastic and had games where they were probably better than KP. It makes Obi’s decision to revert to the one out boring attacking shit we’ve put up this year even more mind boggling.

Cry a river. What he did was exceptional.

Wouldn`t waste the energy, as I said give him credit for attack, but that`s about it, couldn`t lace Edwards bootlaces as far as a footballer is concerned & that`s just the tip of the iceberg. Sit & have an objective look at what else he does on the field, amounts to not a whole lot! Oh wait, his goalkicking has also improved out of site, my bad!
