Ponga Appreciation Thread.

[The Axe of Druss]

I live in the Morteon Bay area and have been an open Redcliffe Dolphins fan for the past decade or so (Im not a SEQ local, moved here in the late 00s)

But, the way the NRL club is being run is making me turn on the them big time. Add to the fact that the Dolphins juniors play against my sons team and im getting to outright hostile terms with them tbh

Andre has completely changed my view of his value to our club. He held his own against O’Sullivan. The most LOL moment was when they tried to make out Andre ignoring him for 12 hours amounted to disrespect. The leaking if these texts by the Dolphins is absolutely embarrassing to them. They are a joke.

When asked what Bennett had said to him about Newcastle, I was impressed by Ponga's comments about the club.

Good to see them taking the piss outta Ponga about the Dolphins. Everyone looks comfortable with the jokes so it seems like everyone is on good terms with Ponga.

I feel like these type of segments are filmed months in advance…and he seemed pretty confident he was staying back then

also, loved the question “I’m so glad blank Pearce has pissed off overseas”

Imagine if Ponga played with the energy, drive and effort of Papenhuyzen...

 

[Spot On]

Imagine if Ponga played with the energy, drive and effort of Papenhuyzen...

… and that was a performance where he is carrying injury.

Wow!

Walt Disney couldn’t imagine that if he was attending Woodstock.

Wow!

Even half and he would easily be worth the million.

Whatever Bennett said, I'm thinking he was right, and Ponga ignored it to stick strong.

Have to appreciate the dedication to mediocrity shown by Ponga!

 

[Knight Tales]

Ponga and Milf halves
Clifford lock
Bailey fullback.
Has to be.
At least we get Mobility and ask more questions.

 

[slotmachine]

Wouldn't be worse than how we're going now.

We are running out of reasons not to roll the dice which is kind of exciting and scary at the same time.

Clifford lock

I suggested this last year and got shouted down

Funny how the landscape changes in RL

 

[ryan.a87]

Ponga and Milford too similar arnt they?

neither of them are really an “organising” half

 

[Jono078]

Clifford would be a Lock that can kick.. so basically a 5/8th or halfback. I also don't think he has the motor or defence that Mann does. So I don't see the point in moving him.

Don't turn him into another Crossland. Let him work on his craft as a half. There's something good there but he needs to become more dominant and controlling ASAP.

 

[SamSepi0l]

Cliff at lock... Lol.
It's up there with the worst ideas. He is only adequate defending as a half and we want to move him and leak more through the middle?

Is it? Why is that?

Yeah. True but Both are infinitely better than anyone else in our side. And that is the point this club has had trouble with. Pick your best talent first. Figure out how to make it work.

 

[Yosh]

Any organizing halves anywhere? Let's throw the bank and get someone to leave their club right now.
