Kalyn Ponga… is he a Kiwi, an Aussie, an All Black-in-waiting in a rugby league superstar’s body? Who better to ask about all of the recent column inches and viral pundit videos dedicated to KP than Blairy, who has a reasonably close association with the Knights skipper. Blairy’s hunch for ‘what happens next’ with Kalyn might surprise you!
An interested spectator for all of this might be Kiwi’s five-eighth Dylan Brown, who signed a 10-year deal for the Knights earlier in the season and may not get the chance to play with Ponga upon arrival. Complicating matters for Dylan and the Knights, is that last week the soon-to-be halfback played only limited minutes at hooker and lock… and this week he’s 18th man for the Eels! Not great for the Kiwis either, as Brown faces the prospect of 3 months without footy before the end of year tests.
And of course, there’s the Warriors! We review Tanah Boyd’s performance on club debut against the Tigers, lament yet another injury to Rocco Berry, and ask if there is anyone else who scores THAT short-side try from Leka Halasima?!
