Kalyn Ponga is slated to earn the NRL’s biggest pay packet at $1.4 million. But it’s a pair of bargain playmakers who have helped bring the best out of Newcastle’s marquee man.
Phoenix Crossland earns a little more than 10 per cent of Kalyn Ponga’s record $1.4 million salary and has worn more than his fair share of social media and face-to-face criticism already in his short NRL career.
Gamble’s 22 games this year have triggered bonuses that take his salary beyond $200,000 next year and extension talks loom in the off-season. “Kalyn can do some really freakish things obviously, but he’s also a really good decoy,” Gamble says. Crossland especially has come to the fore after taking up full-time dummy-half duties only when co-captain Jayden Brailey suffered a season-ending ACL rupture in April.
