KNIGHTS chief executive Philip Gardner says standing Kalyn Ponga down for the rest of the season will be a small price to pay if it allows the club's most valuable player to eventually resume his career.
Ponga faces the prospect of sitting out the last six games of 2022 - and potentially the end-of-season World Cup - after suffering his fifth head knock in the space of five months during Newcastle's 42-12 trouncing by the Sydney Roosters last Friday.
