To those here that question the men that represent Manly.

Just on Ponga, he is a bit like Scam Smith the way opposition players just stand there wondering what he is going to do or where he is going to go. Just tackle the bastard and tackle him HARD !!!
Haha we were at Brookie watching the 1st Knights game. Every time Ponga got the ball some Manly supporter would scream out 'Don't look at him, don't look at him'. Seemed like a novel approach but I guess they meant don't get mesmerised. Was pretty funny at the time!

Ponga steps and darts and defenders anywhere in the vicinity instinctively move in in case he comes to them, meanwhile leaving a hole that he sends someone else through with a sudden pass. So he is a real threat!
 
Really have to hold the line and let an elusive runner like Ponga , R T S from the Warriors and previously Matty Bowen and similar type attackers dance around a bit to cut down their options as they then get closer to the defensive line . Manly have done their homework on him quite well at least on the two encounters this season and have largely read his runs and nullified him .
