KNIGHTS skipper Kalyn Ponga provided the perfect response to those who doubted his ability to make the transition to five-eighth with a man-of-the-match display in Newcastle's 46-26 win against the Gold Coast at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday.
In his first game since his heavily criticised performance in a 43-12 loss to Parramatta, Ponga scored one long-range try and produced three try assists in an emphatic reminder of his capabilities.
