I've made it a bit of a point to watch Ponga, especially when I'm at the game and don't have to rely on cameras, and he's definitely been having a go the last few weeks. The first half of the Tigers game was absolutely rock bottom from him - he actively avoided the ball. Not saying he's anywhere near where he needs to be now but its very obvious he's getting his hands on the ball more and has been more involved with plays. Hasn't really been coming off though.
This year? Yep, absolutely true. I think this is the worst form we've seen KP in since he got here tbh. Team not helping, but it's weird seeing him be so dramatically ineffective.
Kalyn had a dig. It's weird how bad he is in broken play though, for such a heralded player. He's always been kind of bad at it and only gets worse. Running in Sharpe's way there was so weird.
It's like he can't play "with" or "off" guys - you play to him or play off him, but he doesn't play off you. That's a weird thing to be bad at this late into his career.
