Official Newcastle withdraw three-year extension freeing Kalyn Ponga to sign with Dolphins

[The DoggFather]

Wait, Anasta is a player manager and manages Munster?

Yep. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing for us.

 

[zappa]

Yep. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing for us.

Wow, yeah don’t know how to take that.

 

[D.O.W.]

Ponga and Munster to the dogs!

F*** me!…..I guess dreams are free!!

 

[D.O.W.]

Yep. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing for us.

Agree, bit of a mystery but I do think Anasta likes the Dogs…his fondest memories are surely at the club… he’s giving them sh!t because he’s mates with Shane Flanagan whom he works with & his son was given a bit of a bum steer early on - I think we will make a strong play for Munster, he’d be a terrific foil for Burton, you could play them either side of the ruck which takes the focus off Burton.

To be fair to Ponga, he didnt really get a chance to develop in a team with established stars, he went straight to the wooden spooners and had expectations to deliver from day one.

On current form, he isn't worth 1 million.

 

[Malla]

Good. Fuck him hes shit

He isn’t at present. Under Bennett, he’d simplify he’s game, and he’d be a genuine superstar in no time.

 

[John Matrix]

Ponga is overrated, he does one good thing a season and goes missing the rest. Anyone would be stupid to spend that coin on a lazy player.

 

[B-Train]

I don't trust any of these stories. It wouldn't surprise me if he stays at Newcastle but I think he ends up at the Dolphins.

Ponga is massively overrated but he was great yesterday. Unfortunately he doesn't have games like that often enough to justify the price tag and hype. Especially not against the better teams.

 

[EXPLORER]

Would laugh if they lost both.

Same,
That type of shit seems to only happen at the Bulldogs,.

 

[Chris Harding]

Munster won't commit career suicide and sign with the Knights.

He could always death wish, and join the Dogs. We can get offload Thompson and Jackson, and offer him his million dollars.

 

[coach]

Both will go to dolphins

 

[D.O.W.]

With any luck, there’s a swap deal being negotiated: $800k Thompson > Storm / $1M Munster > Bulldogs - Bulldogs tipping in 200k - equivalent of buying Munster for $400k

 

[KambahOne]

He does have a 2 year option in his favour. From what I have heard, he runs the club along with his father.

Parents can sometimes be their kids worst enemy when they get involved in this type of crap as it's the kids worth that suffers.

 

[hayes]

Knights will now have Mitchell Pearce money and pongas money.
Munster to them seems plausible

Pearce money long gone he hasn't been there for over a year

 

[hayes]

Haven't heard him on Fox Sports all he does is say all client are the greatest.

 

[Mr T]

Pearce money long gone he hasn't been there for over a year

He was released 6 months ago.

Hope they get no-ond and are forced to spend 95% of their cap upgrading Chloe

 

[Philmus]

any truth to this or just hoping?

Musn't be happy at the Knights, sometimes you gotta take a pay cut so the club can surround you with other talent to keep the place successful.
