Ponga Appreciation Thread.

[Dave_]

Easily the best player in the game already...unbelievable. Don't agree?

Who would you swap him for...

 

[Still Nutty]

Looks like he will be our first rep player this year - with Morgan’s torn bicep, he has to be the front runner with a full camp under his belt next week

Congrats to Kalyn on his selection in the QLD State of Origin team, hopefully he comes through unscathed and plays a great game but loses.

 

[Dave_]

If QLD were fair dinkum about form, Ponga would be on the wing in Gagai's place

 

[Zoidberg]

He is wasted on the wing. Bring him on after 25-30 to hopefully tear NSW apart

 

[mozza91]

Going down to this game next weekend. Even more excited now.

 

[Knight Vision]

Should of been in the team for game 1. Being around Billy Slater is going to take KP's game to another level ( if there is a such a thing )

 

[Pedge1971]

Please dont injure him. Cannot bare to thinkhow shit we would be with him down as well...

 

[Mr Angry]

I can foresee a new moment in Origin history.

NSW Trainer: "Ponga's on, Ponga's on, Ponga's on....PONGA IS ON!!!"

“Players like this come along every 20 years or so,” Pearce said. “They’ve got it all, right down to the swagger.

Let's hope he has a stormer but QLD lose by 2 points.

 

[Haffa]

Let's hope he has a stormer but QLD lose by 2 points.

Let’s hope that happens for the next decade.

 

[EdLondon]

I'm nervous for ponga

 

[Noname36]

Pretty sure this is the first time he’s defended in the front line ever

 

[Alex28]

They really aren’t playing him for any purpose. Just plonking him in the second how hoping he can do what he does at fullback but with no room.

Good for NSW, not real good for Kalyn...

 

[Lynoman]

It's almost like the coaching staff have never seen him play......

 

[Alex28]

Meanwhile, how good would have Latrell Mitchell been as a Knight. Mitchell and Ponga together...

[Burns]

Ponga has been immense

 

[perverse]

He did as well as he possibly could have, and was absolutely knackered by the end. Not sure what kevvie was thinking playing him in the middle for that long, but he can be very proud of that performance.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Ponga has been immense on debut, almost won the game for QLD but thankfully (me being a NSW supporter) the Blues held them out. He will be better for the run and I hope we get to see him playing on the Origin arena for the next decade or more!
