Denan Kemp

Because he's clearly being, there's clearly video session of, and this is rugby league.

It's all part of the game, guys.

Obviously, I was not a magazine at all.

I'm not even close.

But sometimes I got targeted.

It's just rugby league.

There's clearly video sessions of clubs going,

get get into this young fella early we want to rattle him because if he gets a bit of confidence and a bit of head steam we you know we'll see what we happen in that trial he's going to score a bunch of tries and kill it is that too hot of a take boys it has nothing to do with how good he is has nothing to do with what he's playing it has more to do is protecting his long-term ability yeah i think as well hammy do you think he is in your top two centers at your club yes you think he is i do okay do you think he's in your top two wingers at your club right now what you're getting

I don't have an issue with the high ball targeting.

That's a natural journey any outside back goes through.

It's more the physical targeting that's happening at the moment.

Even just a month down in reserve grade, just to go, even if he's ripping for the month and then bring him back in, as I said, like I was being a bit facetious at the start saying he shouldn't play another game all year.

But like, I just...

Just get him out after this injury, because it's an AC injury, isn't it?

Get him playing week after week in reserve grade, just to get back to that feeling of like...

I just know how, not everyone, but like as a young man, if you're rocking up every weekend, absolutely belted, you don't want to lose that edge of arrogance and confidence and naivety that young players have.

And I think in reserve grade, you can keep that with him where he's always reminded that I am better than everyone else.

And I know that sometimes he has big plays in NRL, but the last thing you want to do is like him going, by the end of the year going, fuck me, like I'm just getting bashed pillar to post every single game by every single forward pack.

And you kind of lose that.

It's like the first time a combat sportsman, a boxer or an MMA fighter gets completely flatlined.
