Big fan of what Kemp has done off the field after a lackluster (still respectable of course) rugby league career. Anyway, often I watch a podcast of his and don’t have a place here to discuss it, thought this could be a good place for them, there’s some really good insights.
Recently watched a couple, one with Brandon “Hectic Cheese” Smith and the other with Latrell, and heard some interesting stuff.
Brandon Smith -
Really interesting comments about the Storm culture. Of special note is Will Chambers driving standards, even things like leaving gear lying around, all on the basis of respecting the jersey. A senior playing ground, respecting the club and the players coming before it and keeping a very high standard. Of course this is no surprise, but it led me to reflecting on our Tigers; and to put it maybe a little harshly, our sad excuse of senior players in the past.
Latrell Mitchell -
Talks about the Tigers offer at 1:12:50 onward. No surprises that it was the playing group of Souths vs Tigers that saw him take the South deal, but also - and this is something I have always felt about LM - throughout the interview he just seems like a player who is happy to go off his natural abilities, but doesn’t push beyond that. He mentions he didn’t want the pressure of being that marquee signing on big $$ here at the Tigers.
Seems like a great kid though, far from what the media portray him as.

I listen to it every now and again, but not regularly. It’s ok.
The best rugby league podcast is Full Credit to the Boys imo. Its the only non-business podcast I listen to as soon as its released.

The Blake Ayshford one was OK …some of the facts many wouldn’t know about him shocked me
-
Please do share some links of any with interesting insights, doesn’t need to be Bloke in a bar.
There’s some real hidden gems amongst this saturated market of podcasts.

Our very own Nofa:
Talks about his Origin snub, puts it down to not being part of a top team on the ladder - not saying at all that he expected to be in the starting team, but at least in the squad, and fair enough too. Also goes over, briefly, the egg shells stuff and interestingly talks about not knowing he was getting the Dally M winger of the year.

KG was good on the podcast. He hasn’t been retired all that long but spoke about some players he played with that I’d forgotten all about. Like Learoyd-Lahrs and a few others in the NSW under 18’s.

Learoyd-Lahrs was a machine at his best! He just didn’t play at his best for long haha. Could do some damage on the field though

I caught it too. Never knew KG played junior reps with SBW. TLL was a beast! Very underrated.
It was a good podcast but could have been a lot better. Denan needs to do a bit more research and frame up better questions, at one point he mentioned how we were kicked out in the semis in 2006 and KG had to correct him.
