Inside the Knights’ contract battle with Kalyn Ponga’s father

Those who have previously dealt with Andre Ponga say there is an underlying belief that everyone has to bend over to accommodate the wishes of Team Ponga.

If it is true Andre is a massive knob.

The guy knows what a talent his kid is and in the past has had that as leverage, the problem is he isn't a kid anymore and frankly he hasn't lived up to expectations to date.

I still hope he stays but if I am the knights, I am not bending over backwards this time, I say to Andre, you either take up the player options, sign the long term extension with no cluses and no you can't announce the signing. Or you walk and see if Bennett agrees to any of your BS.
 
Always thought the get outs he had included in the contract was to chase his all blacks dream, not to sign with an nrl rival
 
Someone explain to me how Andre is ‘running’ the club or tail wagging the dog theory? Maybe I’m missing it, just because he demands xyz doesn’t mean he’s in charge. My kids want ice cream for breakfast, but I say no..

They were thats why Gardner and a few other Newcastle officials have got the Sh*ts over it because the Ponga's (Ponga family) haven't held up their side of the bargain. It was an "all blacks" clause, not a "dolphins" or "explore your options" clause. That's why they are filthy due to their (andre's) lack of respect for the club.

What player doesn't say , No thats not the contract for me or i want this clause in my contract ...They all do ...
When he signed that contract he wanted it in his favour so if we didn't go well he could get out ...I dont know what all the hoopla is about .
He will go or stay thats all there is too it ... The other thing is you all go off about the crap the daily telegraph writes and then your here quoting what they say about division in the team as fact.

I haven't reported anything as fact. I said I notied an article that said it.

Clearly none of us knows what is actually going on, don't hear anything from the club or Ponga so are left to grab what snippets we can from media articles which may or may not be true.

Where have I said it is a fact their is a split in the team?
