Ponga hasn't handled playing 6 in this game imo

He's been very ineffective in this second half and taken a massive back seat... looks very fatigued too.

As expected, a failed experiment again.
Hopefully they do it again next week

You know what that means don't you.

Enter your old mate Tyson 😁
 
Looked busy but as @The_Patriot said, he isn't a halfback...

Looked hurt a few times so hopefully pulls up rusty for next week.

That spine will fail this year, i think.

I reckon it might work. Ponga is one of if not the best runner in the comp with a little bit of space. It's more about consistency.

I wanted it to fail but I thought Newcastle looked pretty threatening with the ball.
 
haven't seen game how did Hastings go ?

He looked slow for most of the game.
He did a good sharp pass that gave Ponga time on the left edge for their try but that was about it really. Made some bad mistakes (grasp air on johnson, knocked on 10mtrs out, kick and chase on 3rd in 20mtr zone with no one else aware).

Ponga and Brailey look good. Mann has bulked up and was impressed with his body contact.

Won't work unless Hastings is more threatening on the edge and positions Ponga wider on the back of it
