In fact, Ponga admits that even coach Nathan Brown has had to get into his ear about watching more games as he continues his education about the game.
"I don't think I've watched a full game," Ponga told Hit 106.9 Breakfast.
"That's something I have to get better at.
"Browny got angry at me because I don't watch footy."
Ponga confesses, spending more time watching opposition teams and players is something he plans on doing more.

"I was named after my father [Jacob Junior] but unfortunately, I didn't know my Dad very well," he told the Newcastle Herald.
"I was raised by my mother. My father was in and out but in saying that, I really didn't pay attention too much because my Mum did such a good job bringing up me, my older brother Joshua and younger sister Joyce.
"I haven't had any contact with him and I've always thought it best if I just move on with my life.
"Mum worked really hard – she has done a whole lot for the three of us in terms of schooling and raising us properly. I can't thank her enough because she put us first. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be the person I am today."
