In the rough and tumble world of the NRL, there are few players as divisive as the Newcastle Knights' own Kalyn Ponga.
Some fans worship the ground he walks on, while others wouldn't spit on him if he were on fire.
It's a classic case of love him or hate him, with no middle ground to be found.
But beyond the Knights faithful, the wider NRL community is split right down the middle when it comes to Ponga.
Some would give their left arm to see him in their team's colors, while others believe he's all hype and no substance.
It's a tale as old as time in the world of sport - the eternal debate over a player's true worth.
I'm not here to debate Ponga's worthiness - he's a bonafide superstar of the game, no doubt about it.
He may not be the best player in the league, but he's certainly the most vital to his team's success.
In a game where every inch counts, Ponga is the ace up the Knights' sleeve, the X-factor that can turn a game on its head in the blink of an eye.
Love him or hate him, you can't deny the impact he has on the field.
