Tributes are flowing in for former Canberra and New Zealand forward Quentin Pongia, who has died aged 48 following a cancer battle.
Pongia played 137 NRL games and 35 tests for the Kiwis, winning the 1994 premiership with the Raiders, and former Green Machine teammate Ricky Stuart was among those to pay tribute.
“Quentin is the toughest player I ever played with,” Stuart said of the front-rower.
