Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast

About

🏉 Welcome to Kenty Blitz

Paul Kent breaks down the biggest stories in rugby league as the November 1 player market opens and the World Cup heats up.


Kenty unpacks the talk linking Matt Burton to the Bears, Sam Walker’s next move, and Papua New Guinea’s pursuit of Nathan Cleary. Plus, he discusses Bradman Best’s potential Parramatta move and the Dolphins’ battle to keep their rising stars.


He also questions Brisbane’s recruitment strategy, Peter O’Sullivan’s reported big-money deal, and the challenge facing Michael Maguire as he attempts to reset the Broncos’ culture.


Then, Kenty reflects on the epic Tonga–Samoa clash, makes the case for a three-game series alongside Origin, and explains his concerns about Australia’s World Cup form.


Plus, Josh Addo-Carr’s B-sample result and Parramatta future, Melbourne Cup chat, and a hat giveaway to finish.
