THE immediate and long-term playing future of Knights skipper Kalyn Ponga is under a cloud after he suffered his fifth head knock of the season during Friday night's 42-12 thrashing by Sydney Roosters.
Ponga was clipped high in a reflex tackle by Roosters prop Matthew Lodge in the eighth minute of the round-19 clash at McDonald Jones Stadium and immediately fell backwards, banging his head on the turf.
