New Zealand and Newcastle Knights star Kalyn Ponga has returned to the bench just three weeks after suffering a broken left arm. The fullback trained this week wearing a black bandage around the injured arm, signaling his readiness to play.
Ponga's rapid recovery comes ahead of a crucial period for his club and country. The 26-year-old playmaker fractured his arm in a match last month but has progressed faster than initial estimates suggested.
His presence on the bench provides a significant boost for the Knights as they push for a playoff spot, while also keeping him in contention for New Zealand's upcoming international fixtures.
