    Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien has hosed down reports Kalyn Ponga is shaping for a long-term contract extension and a shift to the halves, saying he has no plans to move the fullback any time soon

    Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien has hosed down reports Kalyn Ponga is shaping for a long-term contract extension and a shift to the halves, saying he has no plans to move the fullback any time soon

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The Queensland custodian is contracted with the Knights until the end of next season but has options in his favour for 2023 and 2024, with reports emerging this week that he's close to signing a bumper extension.

    An extension would end speculation of a move to rugby union here.

    O'Brien says nothing has come across his desk at all for a contract extension or positional shift.
