  • 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

So basically it looks like maybe the eels and Moses have decided to pull him out of the game. It's more a tightness in the hamstring and playing it safe.

"I remember when we signed Pezet, one of the journos on NRL360 quizzed Anasta on how much we paid for Pezet, Anasta said we got him ridiculously cheap, my guess is $300 - $350k."

Now Russell looked really good last year and we were all disappointed to lose him to Perth, that doesn't stop the current judgements, but it is handy.

"I do not believe we would be paying 400k for Pezet.....it was said at the time it was rediculously cheap, my guess 250?
and yes it is a guess because no one other than those that "count" will know the truth, especially not the garbage journalists…"
