Plenty of dollars await Kalyn Ponga.But the North Queensland young gun will need plenty of sense to take the next step to NRL superstardom, Ben Hannant says.At just 18, Ponga has inked a five-year, $3.6 million deal from 2018 with rivals Newcastle after playing just two NRL games.It is believed to be the richest contract for a teenager in leagues history.The deals money and expectation are enough to rattle any player, let alone a teenager.But Hannant, 31, has offered advice to the NRL prodigy after drawing the curtain on his own 12-season career on Thursday, due to a chronic knee complaint.The two-time premiership player said Ponga would not crumble under expectation if he found a good role model - just like he did.Hannant made his NRL debut way back in 2005 for the Sydney Roosters but found direction rubbing shoulders with greats when he moved to Brisbane the next season.The world is at his feet, Hannant said of Ponga.For him its about being around the right bunch of people - its like doing your apprenticeship.For me I had (Brisbanes) Shane Webcke and Petero Civoniceva who I trained alongside every day.That made me the footy player I am today.Ponga is set to see out his final year at North Queensland before linking up with the Knights in 2018 - a luxury not afforded Hannant.Ex-Test prop Hannant pulled the pin on his career despite admitting he could have battled on and completed his 12-month 2017 deal that he had only signed three weeks ago.I could have kept going for another year, limped through and not been 100 per cent, Hannant said.But I dont think it is fair on myself or the team if I am not 100 per cent to start the season.I have been extremely blessed. I have loved every minute I have played this game.It is a sad day but I am excited about what is to come.

LONDON -- Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal face serious doubts about their futures, but Andy Murray hopes they stay competing at the top of the game.The men, with a combined 27 major titles between them, both missed the Tour Finals.Federer, 35, played just seven tournaments in 2016 and cut short his season in July in hopes of fully recovering from knee surgery.Nadals year was also beset by injury. The Spaniard, 30, tearfully pulled out with a wrist injury from the French Open -- where he has won nine titles -- and prematurely ended his season last month after struggling at the US Open.This year I think has been hard in some ways, because of Roger and Rafa missing large parts of the year, Murray said in a news conference after beating Novak Djokovic in the World Tour final to secure the year-end No. 1 ranking.They have massive fan bases, the two of them, not just for everything theyve achieved on the court, but because theyre obviously charismatic guys and are very, very popular. Thats been tough this year.However, with Federer and Nadals careers seemingly winding down, and Djokovic falling below the extremely high standards he has set himself, there is a prospect we could be seeing the birth of the Andy Murray Era.Never given that any thought at all, Murray said. Id obviously want to try and achieve as much as I can these next few years becauuse Im not going to be around forever.dddddddddddd Im not going to be able to play at this level and play this many matches into my mid-30s.But its going to be tough because as you get older, the young guys are going to keep improving and getting better. Theres some really good young ones now.Milos Raonic is the obvious candidate from the pack to challenge the established Slam champions. The 25-year-old, who ended the year ranked a career-high No. 3, was narrowly beaten by Murray in a record 3 hours, 38 minutes in the London semifinals. So gutting was the defeat, Raonic appeared to have been crying when he sat down for his news conference.But for now, Murray could be set for a lengthy stay at No. 1, as Djokovic has a lot of points to defend in the first half of next season.The Serb dominated the first five months of 2016, winning titles at Qatar, the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Roland Garros.Its taken a huge effort the last five, six months to get there [to No. 1], said Murray. I would like to stay there. Im aware thats going to be extremely difficult because I had a great year this year. I only managed to do it by one match. To repeat that again next year is going to be extremely difficult. ' ' '
