Kalyn Ponga discussion

[Lefty]

On the knights website but had to check myself

Love there was no leak

I watched the video I posted on here twice and then came on here to make sure it was genuine because it was a massive surprise.

 

[Kurriboy]

I really didn't expect to see this. I've said I expected him to leave next contract.

Goes to show what he has said is true, he wants to be here. Loves the club.

If we can put this all together, get a good run without injuries, we could make a GF in the next few seasons, even this one.

Get ourselves in the top 6 for finals and go on a run.

ponga doing an interview on ABC 1233 radio soon - told his team mates this morning he has re-signed

 

[mullenmagic]

Extended version of the announcement with more of him talking. Plenty of references to the recent changes in the club, how much better of a position they're in now, and more glowing praise for Holbrook. Said the game and a half he played with Brown is the most fun he's had on a field in a long time.

POS getting Brown here no doubt made the decision easy for KP

So the deal is what? 3 years + 2 Club options?

So the deal is what? 3 years + 2 Club options?

As reported yeah, means he will be 32, or 34 after the two years club options. One club legend, hopefully we can some amazing results with him to give him the reward he deserves.

The best news out of this is that he has either taken a small pay cut or worse case signed to a similar amount he was already on

Getting Holbrook here more so!

 

[HarVeeGee13]

It's very very funny that the chat on Brown signing was that it would make it impossible to keep Kalyn, and he's literally namedropped it as one of the main reasons he wants to stay.

I cannot add any more than what others have but OMG I’ve not been this happy for ages!

Premiership incoming ❤

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Out of nowhere.

Great news.

I genuinely think he’s settled here now. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years (okay, he came for 2018, so 8 years). He’s got his house. Lifestyle. Seen a few bits of this golf thing they are doing. Seems like he’s in a good place and surrounded with a good bunch of the squad.

Also great captain move not letting it drag on too much. Seems he was keen to get something done.
Very curious the $$$ involved.

But, he’s 100% the X factor luxury required to win a premiership.

Getting Holbrook here more so!

In his short time he has shown how much the players enjoy playing under him and the positive environment he has created around the club. I’m pretty sure when he was at the titans Tino and Fifita had clauses in their contracts tied to him leaving or getting sacked, just shows the effect he has on his playing groups.

 

[Jar head]

So so so so so pumped...
Another great part for me is that we all didn't know anything. Poorly run clubs always have leaks, we hear about it as it happens. The fact this got done without the media getting wind of it shows a unified and strong club imo. Great signs for what's ahead, think I'll grab the spare season tickets next to mine for next season, time to prepare for a golden era... we have earned it, been a tough 20 years...

 

[HarVeeGee13]

If he's agreed to about what Brown did, it's a very rich deal now, but we will see the $2 million barrier crossed by other players over the next few years. It'll look very good all of a sudden then.

I watched the video I posted twice on facebook and then came on here to make sure it was genuine because it was a massive surprise.

Yeah I think it’s a pretty good flex the Knights casually dropped the news themselves on a Saturday morning on ANZAC day when no one was expecting it.

 

[R_A]

Was actually funny I was getting some merch off the knights shop myself and saw the bobble heads, didn’t really think about the looming contract extension for Ponga but got it anyway lol.
Now for him to sign it!

 

[Mclovin]

This is so freaking good! If he can also have an injury free pre-season (and actual season), next season with some combinations worked out and with players being happy we could start to look like a real threat probably just just riding the good feels wave but i dont care things are looking good for Knights fans.
