North Queensland football manager Peter Parr says the Cowboys are proud of their player management after Kalyn Pongas father claimed the club was neglecting the NRL prodigys welfare.Pongas dad Andre told News Corp that North Queensland should do the right thing and release the teenager from the final year of his Cowboys contract after falling out with the club.The Cowboys have stated they have no intention of releasing Ponga next year after the youngster recently signed a lucrative four-year deal with Newcastle from 2018.We are proud of our club, of how we look after our people both internally and externally - thats all I have to say, Parr said.The Knights have remained hopeful that Ponga will receive a release after snapping up the 18-year-old with just two NRL games experience on a deal reportedly worth $700,000 a year.And Newcastle looked closer to getting their wish after Pongas father claimed things went pearshaped at the Cowboys after his son knocked back a two-year extension in April.He claimed he now had concerns for his sons welfare because the club had made it hard for the teenager to continue his university studies.Its left Kalyn disillusioned because they are not offering any encouragement to him, he told News Corp.Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has since backed the Cowboys, saying Ponga would receive the development needed to handle the intense Newcastle spotlight with another year at North Queensland.Meninga even said Newcastle must get it right with Pongas welfare.They need to ... try to protect him as much as they can from the pressure and expectations that are going to be on him, he told Queensland Former Origin Greats website.Meninga admitted it was a brave move to sign with wooden spooners Newcastle but was just glad Ponga had stuck with the NRL.We all know that the (AFLs) Brisbane Lions and (rugby unions) Queensland Reds were chasing pretty heavily for him, and it would have been the worst case scenario to see Kalyn go to another code, he said.I guess a lot of people were surprised that he ended up signing with Newcastle.I think it is a brave move, because they are obviously a club that has a lot of rebuilding to do after the mess of the past few seasons.As a club, the Knights had to do something.And in Kalyn, they can obviously see a young guy that they can build a club around for the future.

Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. DURBAN, South Africa -- David Miller thumped 118 not out from No. 6 to take South Africa to the second-highest successful run chase in one-day international cricket and a series win over Australia on Wednesday.On his home ground, Miller blasted his 118 from just 79 balls, with 10 fours and six sixes, as South Africa made 372-6, overtaking Australias 371-6 with four balls of the last over to spare.Millers third ODI century -- surely his best -- gave South Africa an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-game series, and gave the Proteas their first ODI series win over Australia in seven years.He did it while hobbling with a groin injury for much of the latter part of his innings.Its a special one, Miller said of his match-winning knock. You dont get those ones too often.Miller and South Africa completely overshadowed an impressive batting effort from top-ranked Australia after the tourists, desperate to stay alive in the series, opted to bat first.Opener David Warner made 117, captain Steve Smith added 108, and Australia posted the highest ODI total at Kingsmead.That record lasted just a few hours.South Africas victory revived memories of the game between the two countries in 2006, when Australia made 434 and South Africa chased that down for whats still by some way the highest run chase to win an ODI.On Wednesday, Australia slipped to a third straight loss on the tour, this time by four wickets but possibly the most painful considering the siituation.dddddddddddd.We posted 370, which is a pretty good score, Australia captain Smith said. You dont lose too many games scoring 370. Weve just got to keep learning and trying to find a way to win.Facing an imposing target, openers Quinton de Kock (70) and Hashim Amla (45) gave South Africa its early momentum, but the home team was teetering having lost six wickets when Miller took control.The big-hitting left-hander had crucial support from Andile Phehlukwayo, the fast bowler playing just his fourth one-day international and who hit a career-best 42 not out to carry South Africa home alongside Miller.South Africa stayed with or near the required run rate for much of its chase, but when Miller and Phehlukwayo came together they still needed 107 runs off 74 balls. Phehlukwayo got away with one when he appeared to edge behind early in his knock. Umpire Adrian Holdstock said not out and Australia didnt have any decision referrals left.Miller crunched a four to backward square leg to get to his century, and Phehlukwayo attacked anything he could, hitting four fours and two sixes. He hit a looping reverse sweep to win the game and the series, causing raucous celebrations in the South African dressing room.I would rank that up there as the best win Ive been involved in, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said.
