Why was Jai Arrow’s farewell on the Gold Coast so emotional for fans?

Paul Kent 0:01
G'day and welcome to Kenty Blitz, your daily head of NRL News and Kenty the last week of the season ahead of us. Yeah.

How did the Broncos admit they mishandled the Adam Reynolds situation?

Paul Kent 0:08
I mean it looks like we're all done bar the shouting as far as the top eight goes, which is good.

What are the implications of Saifiti facing a Grand Final ban?

Paul Kent 0:12
Uh and even the top two are decided, so we could know that.

Why is Jerome Luai’s PNG trip raising concerns among NRL insiders?

Paul Kent 0:15
I mean the top four looks like it's decided. So uh the funny thing though was, uh, without sort of wanting to harp on a point that I continue to harp on, is that um there's still plenty of things to talk about other than just the uh the latter and

What does Jett Cleary’s debut in front of his family mean for the Warriors?

Paul Kent 0:29
And what a top ten would provide.

How did the Roosters lose their finals‑hosting rights to the Dolphins?

Paul Kent 0:30
Correct.

What does Sam Walker’s lengthy injury lay‑off mean for the Roosters’ finals chances?

Paul Kent 0:31
Yeah.

Why are the Bulldogs’ season disappointing and how is Galvin performing?

Paul Kent 0:31
Well let's start off with uh the scenes out of the Gold Coast on the weekend, some uh magical scenes there. Yeah. We all saw that. And look, I I think they in many ways exceeded expectations. The uh The vision Of why in Ben of putting his sock on. And Dry Arrow uh turning to his teammates and pumping his fist and laughing at the sight of it. Uh it just brought a a human touch to it. Uh I look, I d I don't think anyone expected, but uh it just really brought home the whole moment and then to see him walk out, uh, obviously uh emotionally affected by it. Uh and just the the love that was there for him. It was just just a great a a great thing for rugby league. It'd be interesting to see the ha what happens this week when we basically repeat the the process when they play the Roosters.
Paul Kent 1:25
What will be his hundredth game for the Rabbit's but it's just a wonderful moment for the game. Uh Joey uh we can see the cheekiness in him. He uh w after the referee called time off it was time to make the replacement, he sort of he waved Cameron Murray away as if the sail what a sail. But yeah, it was just a lovely moment and uh well done rugby league. You know, there's times to lose your disappointment of the game, but there's times that uh like this that just really fill your heart. Yeah, very much so, Kenty. Well done to both teams involved there. Uh Dave Donahy has come out this afternoon uh up at the Broncos and admitted that they got it wrong with the Adam Reynolds situation. So I'll do that. Yeah, too little too late from Donnie.
Paul Kent 2:09
Like I I think he's gone away. He's obviously seen the reaction and and understood how poorly the club have handled it and they're they're trying to make up uh ground. The fact that the club leaked key details of the internal review, uh which was uh designed to basically uh just douse the uh the flames of of of discontent up there at Broncos uh land. Uh I just think it just shows that it's a club that's directionalist in many ways. They they they really don't know what they're doing up there. Leaking the the the positive details uh of the of the internal review, th that was just the last desperate act for me. Uh they got it totally wrong. Adam Reynolds is halfway around his lapaviner and suddenly sponsorship advertisements jump up and
Paul Kent 2:55
You know what I mean? Like it just th uh it's just it's pretty sad to be fair to just watch a a club like this. They're supposed to know what it's doing and it's has uh has always been so highly regarded, not only in rugby league, but across the country as far as sporting uh teams go. And then they're just they're just going from one mistake to the next. Well if you read the reports, Kendy, it's the it's the most valuable NRL franchise and one of the most valuable in Australia. Well that's right. Well that's right. That's right. And that's the r that's the that's the standard that they should be living up to. Uh but they aren't. And and uh this It's almost a comedy of errors the last week. Like it basically in every situation, well we can do this or we can do that.
Paul Kent 3:42
Right. And They made the wrong decision on this one. Next decision. We can do this or we can do that. Another wrong decision. And just everything you know, even even th they would have sat there, well, we've had this review. Let's l uh should we leak the details or not? Or keep it in the house. Or keep it in house. Now The Broncos used to be a joint that would stand up against in the face of whatever criticism came their way. And they did that under the belief that they knew who they were and what they stood for.
