The Rocket Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 You may have already seen this, but if you haven`t watch out for the efforts of Kalyn Ponga in this game, the off-loads, support play and commitment in defence, keep an eye out for when he attempts to put the Sharks winger over the sideline when scoring. What a player. Match Highlights: Knights v Sharks - NRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hull Kingston Bronco Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Good shout, had missed those and well worth a watch Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

Partly because there wasn`t too much to savour in the later game. Something worth noting is the Blake Green kick in the match-winning try. Not quite what he intended, but the source of subsequent off-the-cuff brilliance and excitement. Which, as you`ve noted in another context on another thread, is often the way with anything unpredictable. There`s a good case for trying a deliberate kick-pass in front of the defensive line. It can get the ball quickly to a teammate in plenty of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Ponga really is a freakish talent . There looks nowt of him but he takes his bumps , comes back and has the full range of skills . The array of fullback talent down there is unbelievable and must be unprecedented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call, without going back over them, I think he was involved in probably more highlights than Ponga, and some of the ones that Ponga was involved in as well. But no denying Ponga`s brilliance, I think you yourself said on another thread recently that League is a game of force, but the skillful blokes are still essential. 5 hours ago, DavidM said: He looked a throwback !
