Kalyn Ponga’s management have approached the Knights about an upgraded and extended contract at $6 million over the next four seasons. Thoughts ???

Is Ponga better than Tedesco who I regard as the best player in the world? No! Teddy's on about 1- 1,1 mil. He's really good but not good enough to carry the Knights who are out of the top 8 on 5 straight losses. Talk about a bad time to ask for a contract upgrade.
Not worth more than he's currently on.
1,5 mil per annum would just f*ck the Knights' cap and they'll struggle to get a good team together.
Pearce and Klemmer as also on massive coin.
He can only get 1,5 mil from Union. If he's only interested in money then he should change codes.
What Tedesco is on is irrelevant, the same as it was when Gutho was negotiating.
The only question is what is he worth to Newcastle ?
Teddy is a great ball runner ponga has the whole package
Not the case. If you watched origin closely you would have noticed Teddy having saved 3-4 definate tries.
Both at 21 ponga is ahead of teddy time will tell if he goes better
I don't think any team can afford that unless the moneyball the hell out of the rest of the team.
Ponga's 2nd season with the Knights looking like they are going to fail again this season and he's commanding via his agent 1,5 mil. It's laughable. He's acheived nothing is his career and led Newcastle and Queensland to NOTHING.
This maybe the first signs of unrest from Ponga at the knights, this might be the first step in him finding another club on a big offer.
1.5 a year is ridiculous, atm he's worth no more than his 600k-700k
Haha and the rest! He is one of the best players in the world. He could get 1 million a season easily. Do you do hard drugs?
FMD snake. Your better than that.
Depends what player & their wage you him to, if you compare him to B Hunt he deserves a good increase
