The news quickly spread across social media, with fans praising the Knights captain for his compassion and leadership off the field.While there is no official confirmation that such a donation took place, there is no doubt that Ponga remains one of the most influential figures at the Newcastle Knights.What is confirmed is that Ponga recently signed a landmark contract extension with Newcastle, keeping him at the club until at least 2030, a huge boost for the team\u2019s long-term ambitions. The deal has been celebrated by fans as a sign of loyalty and belief in the club\u2019s future.Whether the donation story is fact or fiction, one thing remains clear: Kalyn Ponga\u2019s commitment to Newcastle continues to inspire supporters both on and off the field.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear:
