How Ponga silenced $1.4m doubts as act of defiance sparks unlikely NRL rise
A victory over the Sea Eagles was followed with tight losses to the Broncos, Roosters and Panthers, but things really clicked into gear in Round 18.
Ponga’s numbers also skyrocketed after moving out of the halves, with his averages for try assists, linebreaks, tackle busts and linebreak assists all increasing. “Then we lost Jayden Brailey, but there’s no doubt in what he’s doing now. His position at fullback he’s played it all of his career. “Just when you thought Reece Walsh is the main man, Kalyn Ponga just continues to run him down,” Ennis said.
“He’s hit his straps, both our wingers have got around 40 tries, Dom is having a breakout season and Greg is only three tries behind him,” Buderus said. All the more impressive is they’re doing it without their captain Jayden Brailey, whose season ended in Round 6 with an ACL injury. Instead, the Knights produced their biggest win in club history with a 66-0 thrashing of the Dogs that kickstarted their winning run.
“Rolling out the same spine for the majority of the season has really paid dividends and he’s finally been able to train them the way he wants to train and play them the way he wants to play.
