BRONCOS, EELS CHASING PONGA
THERE is much interest in Kalyn Ponga’s next NRL contract with Brisbane and Parramatta rumoured to have him under notice.
Ponga is the third-highest paid player at the Knights behind halfback Mitchell Pearce and front-row enforcer Dave Klemmer but is clearly their biggest star and best player.
He is under contract until 2021 but it hasn’t stopped clubs from making early inquiries, which is perfectly legal. Ponga will become a $6 million player over five years with his next contract.
It’s interesting that Ponga’s father — and not his manager Wayde Rushton — has been the one driving the early contract renewal talks with the Knights.

BA thinks he would make a great #9.
We won't get him that's for sure and better than avergae chance Newcastle will extend before his current deal finishes. One thing for sure is that KP will be the highest paid player in the game in the not to distant future with day light 2nd.
New Zealand rugby is probably the bigger threat to him re-signing with Newcastle.
I still can't believe cowboys didn't find a way to keep him.
Why not nothing to lose here.
As if he’d come to us lol
Ponga would be a donga to come to the Eels just ask Wonga (MD BSA)
It’s probably another beat up to increase his price but regardless we need forwards god damn it not backs
