Everyone should know that I am not Kalyn Ponga's biggest fan, but I found it a bit distasteful how openly, without reservation it was stated that it would likely be the Raiders' intention to target the injured Knights fullback.
In my opinion, such tactics have gone past gamesmanship and amount to thuggery. Any kind of pre-game threat should not be part of the game, and I also believe the NRL needs to take action if injured players find themselves targets. It sets a very bad example to the young players.
