Ponga Reveals 'Culture' Behind Knights Revival The resurgence of the Newcastle Knights rugby league team under Mitchell Ponga's leadership has been nothing short of remarkable.
Since taking over as coach in 2020, Ponga implemented a radical overhaul of the team's culture, which is widely credited with transforming the club from a perennial struggler to a competitive force in the NRL.
In an interview, Ponga shed light on the key drivers behind this cultural shift, revealing that it was not just about introducing new strategies or systems, but rather creating an environment where players felt empowered and accountable.
