What happened during Kenty's World Cup return and merch giveaway?
G'day and welcome to Kenti Blitz, your daily hit of NRL news, and I'm back with the one and only Paul Kent. Good to be back, mate. How was it? Yeah, mate, it was good. Yeah, it was really good. I mean, you've been to a lot of World Cups. For anybody who hasn't been before, it is the ultimate sporting event. It just engulfs you every day that you're there. There's so many different games on. people from different countries. Mate, it's just, yeah, it's just an amazing event to be part of. Yeah. What was the American experience like? Was it different from when in Europe? It's difficult to say because when you're, When you're there, you face the nation that you're playing, right? So we faced the Yanks in the second game.
We saw a lot of Yanks, but I also was fortunate enough to go back and see the Yanks play Belgium, and that was a very different experience with the Yanks everywhere. Mate, I loved it. I mean, I love going to America. I think they do it really well. Americans, in my opinion, do sporting events better than any other country in the world. They're just the... Everything they put on, it's over the top and, you know, it's Star Spangled Banner and all that. But, mate, to see the jets fly over the top after the anthem and that kind of stuff was spellbinding, you know. Yeah, and it had a touch of rugby league. We saw the president ring up and influence results. It did, yeah. That was extraordinary, wasn't it? Oh, mate.
Honestly, if it's not the most corrupt major organisation in the world, I'll give it away, FIFA. Hopefully they're not watching. They watch us? I don't think so. Yeah, no, it was very good, Kenty. And, mate, Crawls did a great job. I was watching when you were over there. It was good to see two old mates go at it for a little while. It's funny. We got asked about... relationships and things like that and when we were doing 360 whether who fought and all the rest of it and like him and i were the two that yeah right yeah we'd we'd have an argument on 360 and then we'd spend an hour after it while he was driving home central coast on the phone still arguing so i brought back some memories because we had a few of those here too so very good good fun
Well, Kenny, I brought in, as I like to do every now and then, I brought in some merch from the tour, Unworn. And for the best question... I'd hope so. For the best question in Ask Kenty this week, we will give away this hat and jersey. So remember to put your questions down below and we ask the Ask Kentys at the end of the week. So let's rip in, Kenty. Good to be back. We start off with... Debated about Jerome Luai, which is a massive story in rugby league. Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how it pans out. I've got the feeling, I know we all think at the moment it's done and dusted, that he's been basically told he's not wanted next year at the Tigers. He's accepted that. The big question that's going to happen, I think, in the next couple of weeks probably is whether he sees out the season.
Because Tigers, and there's a lot of variables in it, so it could change. One is whether he wants to go. Two, whether the club want him to go. That's going to be decided really on the environment within the dressing room. And I still think there's a bit of a mood in the Tigers dressing room where they're still trying to figure out things, whether it's a good... whether they're with him or want him to go, so to speak. The club hierarchy or the players? The players. Well, look, it's a bit of both, essentially. It's going to depend on how... I think they progress in the next couple of weeks. If they have a couple of good results and then a positive experience of training, he'll stay the season and see if we can make the eight.
But they're on a downward slide, the Tigers. Since Louie announced his decision, I think they've won two out of nine. They're running third when he made the decision he was going to Papua New Guinea. They're now running 13th. So there's clearly been some kind of impact there. within the club because it's night and day from when he made the decision to – yeah, before and after.
