I was not a Parramatta supporter in my youth, but the magical class and superior talent of Brett Kenny, had me secretly cheering for the great Parramatta machine. The sooner Brett Kenny is made an immortal, the better. His style was smooth and poetic. The results were devastating for the opposition, up there on the scoreboard.
About 1977 I played a game between a couple of local high schools, I was halfback and Brett was five eighth in the opposing team, they would throw him the ball and he could kick it and land it on a 10 cent piece. A game winner in those days. A few months later ( I think) we played against Patrician Brothers Fairfield, Peter Sterling was my opposite halfback, well yes you know their names not mine, unbelievable natural talent both of them.
Absolute superstar, one of the most balanced runners I have ever seen, had it all, step, brilliant passing and hands, almost like he was dancing out there, and not a 'brick with eyes' either like a lot of current players but lean and very fast.
There should be a Royal Commission into the fact Brett isn't an Immortal. 17 Test matches. Only one loss. 2 Kangaroo tours, no losses 5 Grand Finals. 4 wins, two tries in three of them. Clive Churchill medal in two of them 17 State of Origin matches 12 at 5/8 for eight wins. The Great Wally said "Brett was the best he played with Or against, daylight was second"
👍👍👍👍👍👍 😊 Excellent video. Take me back to the 80s. Thank God I lived through these years. I enjoy all eras of rugby league, but the best seasons were these seasons/years. 😊
The game he scores against GB was my first live game of RL at Wigan. Was amazed how much better the Aussies were better than us. Later I realised they cheated ! I mean come on, Sterling and Kenny as half backs, thats not fair 😂. Couldnt believe we had him playing for Wigan a couple of years later. That Wembley final, no words for it. Had some great players at Wigan since them, have to say Brett along with Ellery Hanley is the best I've ever seen.👏👏
I saw his entire career and would rate him as one of the best individual players I have ever seen go around. He had a freakish ability to anticipate the best thing to do in a specific situation.
He backs his reflexes in those intercepts and they must have been amazing! And that dummy! Not to mention his soft hands. He must be in the next induction of immortals. With Ray Price. No, I’m not a Parra supporter.
Yeah well, I reckoned Snoz O'Connor and Brett Kenny shoulda been "Immortals". AND I still believe Kenny was a better 5/8th than Wally!!! (But no one agrees with me)

Simply the most naturally gifted footballer ive ever seen & probably will ever see.
Brett Kenny must qualify as an Immortal. He was magician

Brett Kenny was a thoroughbred, he made Wally Lewis look like a draughthorse
Definitely immortal. You have Sterling. You have to have Kenny. Nothing around as good as this guy these days. Unbeleivable.

Thanks so much for this compilation of the brilliant Brett Kenny, I’ve been waiting for it for years.
Great compilation for a guy who never saw him live! More please!
He would have to be the best five-eight ever to grace a football field.
unbelievable player, the proof is in the footage, GENIUS
Brett Kenny was 20-30 years ahead of his time.
I saw his entire career and would rate him as one of the best individual players I have ever seen go around. He had a freakish ability to anticipate the best thing to do in a specific situation.
Genius ..idol
The first Australian to win the Lance Todd Trophy
The best video on the CZcamss.
Best player the game has ever seen
masterful player should be an immortal long ago finest big match player I have seen in 50 years of watching league . God bless you Brett 🙏✝️👍💪

Damn. Forgot how good that guy was.

This is rugby league pornography!
