Kalyn Ponga, captain of the Newcastle Knights, has opted out of the upcoming Pacific Championships to focus on his club's pre-season training, which begins in early November. This decision may conflict with NRL rules requiring player availability for representative fixtures. Ponga aims to win a premiership with the Knights and has not played for Australia since 2018. His absence may open opportunities for other players in the national team.
