Knights star Kalyn Ponga has re-entered the frame for Kangaroos selection, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the 2023 Dally M winner will be an automatic pick in Mal Meninga’s side.
Speaking on Wednesday night’s NRL 360, Fox League’s believes Ponga’s selection in this month’s Pacific Championships hinges on the fitness and availability of one man: Dylan Edwards.

“There’s been debate over the last 10 days of will he or won’t he, as in Dylan Edwards, be available. If he is, then he’s straight in the No.1 jumper,” Hooper said.

“If he’s not, then all of a sudden Mal’s got to have a re-think. Does he remain with Tedesco, who is the incumbent captain, or does he go with Kalyn?”
While Meninga is renowned for his loyalty to those who’ve served him previously, and crucially got the job done, but the Kangaroos’ record defeat to the Kiwis last year has left the door open for change.
The Kangaroos coach has made it evidently clear his side won’t be picked through loyalty, but rather who he feels are the best for the job right now. Meninga has also admitted he has one eye on the future – specifically the 2026 World Cup on home soil.

The Daily Telegraph’s Dean Ritchie believes the whole ordeal surrounding Ponga’s initial self-removal from the selection frame would make it a farce if he isn’t chosen by Meninga.
“The NRL’s demanded he comes back and makes himself available. He’s done that, whether that be right or wrong, but if he is now available, and the NRL have pushed for this, how do you not pick him?” he said.
“How does Mal now say ‘okay, you’ve gone through the protocols, you’ve gone through the process, you’re now back available, you’ve done the right thing by the NRL, but hey I’m not going to pick you.’
“It makes the whole process seem ridiculous.”

However, Hooper strongly disagreed, believing if Edwards is fit and firing after this Sunday’s grand final, Meninga opting not to select Ponga is “fair game.”
“You’re entitled to pick Dylan. I think that’s play on,” he added.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Ponga stated: “If I get picked, I get picked.”
“My decision had no malice behind it. I was trying to do the best thing,” he said.

“I understand the process was wrong. I apologise for that. But I was trying to do the best thing by myself and some people who look after me.”
Ponga revealed his decision to backflip came after a phone call with Meninga left him realising “why people want to play for him.”
“He’s very understanding… he’s just a good human.
“Those phone calls I had with him I understood why people want to play for him. There are no regrets, I definitely learned my lesson.”
Hooper added the Knights’ No.1 did himself “a disservice by the way he’s handled it from start to finish,” before stating if Ponga hadn’t backflipped on his non-selection call he’d have “put the pen through him for good.”
