Ponga Appreciation Thread.

[Burwood]

Oh, and let’s not forget that anything about Ponga these days instantly turns into something about Andre and how he is the one secretly running the club and everyone is scared to get him offside.

You must have missed last week and whole Klemmer/Knowles/O’Brien/Gardner/HR department incident?

No I didn't miss that but it's still not what I'm saying....no matter

Guessing youre a wests fan?

Its natural to see your club get torn up in the media and think no one has it as bad as you but thats simply just confirmation bias bro. The media turns on clubs doing poorly, simple as that. If Newcastle were winning and in the top 4 I doubt this even gets more than a couple of mentions before another topic takes over

I am a West's fan. They have been great when it came to investments for the club. They didn't have the immediate positive impact everyone wanted but they dug us out of a very deep hole and modernized the club. If AOB had turned out to be a star head coach, I reckon everyone would be super complimentary of Wests.

They have done the right thing by bringing in Parr. In 2 to 3 seasons, I have no doubt we will be a top 6 club in the NRL.

Um, Yosh, I dont know how to tell you without embarrassing you...

Okay....

 

[Apey]

Okay....

They're talking about the Wests Tigers.

 

[Jono078]

I am serious..there have been a thousand articles yes but they all stop at a certain level ...the incident is discussed as an incident involving individuals but they don't wage a ruthless and continuous attack on every aspect of your club ...everything they can shred no matter how unrelated to the incident at hand. Papalli has second thoughts about staying at the eels and they torch the Tigers as fcki g up once again and some one has to be a answerable etc etc....you don't get that kind d of malicious nonsense ....that's what imeant. If Ponga was at WT not only would there be a thousand articles but there'd be demands for the board and Ponga to go plus a 2 week public inquisition about how he was signed for a million per season for 5 years...I'm not having a shot at the Knights...just the biased jackals in the so called nrl media

IF we didn't just sign Peter Parr then I think it would be worse. But we have just signed him and you can say he was signed because we identified issues that need fixing.

I am a West Tigers fan. Their shitness will prevent us getting another spoon.

Well so be damned. Thank you. But I still stand by what I said haha!

Seems the Pong wasn’t the only one out on the turps and whatever else recently judging by the last couple of pages in this thread.

WTF????

 

[Zoidberg]

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a leak in the drug test results considering the hoorah around the story.

Well, we can deduce that it was either his first strike, or negative.

 

[Zoidberg]

Unless he is mysteriously not selected for the first 12 rounds next year.

I think strike two is announced, but maybe I've read things wrongly.

 

[Old dog]

It’s my understanding, first strike in kept within, a second is announced and a third is trouble big time

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Would they have announced it if it was negative though? Seems you’d want to put an end to the innuendo if the test was negative right?

 

[Jono078]

Exactly. I think it's bad enough the captain of the club hasn't come out addressed the situation (also aware it needs to go through it's due process).

Nothing stopping KP coming out and saying so.

Willing to bet Ponga won’t be celebrating buying a house this weekend and will be watching our game today from Andres living room.
