"Bazza, theres to many players on massive overs. How can we be spending the same amount as Penrith. Its totally mismanaged. I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie Guymer was upgraded to 550k when he should be in 190k. "
"Doesn't mean Herbie will be a great Fullback though. I think he could very well be but we have nothing to show he can be. He's always been a Centre. Even for England he hasn't been moved to Fullback. If anything I though they would put him there.…"
"I just do not see any risk at all. Herbie's skill level is off the charts, he's probably better than Iongi in nearly every metric and he just moves better than Iongi. I don't ever see Iongi becoming elite. He's very good through effort like Gutho…"
"Agreed that's why I believe this is just another stop gap. I honestly don't think Wing is our biggest issue right now though. I understand this may be the only option a club will throw our way right now so it is what it is. "

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
