Broncos star fullback Reece Walsh is suddenly in the frame for a State of Origin call-up after Kalyn Ponga has been ruled out with a devastating Lisfranc injury. Newcastle confirmed on Saturday morning Ponga was set for a lengthy stint out, less than 12 hours after picking up a foot injury in the loss to Canberra. Ponga’s injury will potentially open the door for Walsh to return to the Queensland No.1 jersey, after his own return to form for Brisbane.
“Ponga will begin his rehabilitation with Knights medical staff, with the view of returning to play in the back end of the season.” Ponga limped from the field during the second half of the Knights’ 22-18 loss, with the injury suffered on the opposite foot to the one he suffered lisfranc damage to last year. On that occasion, he missed seven games for the Knights. A similar timeframe would mean Ponga does not return until the eve of the finals this year.
