What’s the opening rundown and why is Ivan Cleary’s 500th game mentioned?
G'day, welcome to Kenty Bleach, your daily head of NRL News, and uh we're here, Canty, on footy night tonight. Uh a big game coming up down there. Yeah, I'm excited about it actually. It's uh uh it's like uh Custer's last stand a little bit down after the storm. You know what I mean? I really think they'll have a crack. Um yeah, and I think they'll just go out and uh it's gonna be a tough one. Uh big game for Penrith. Big Ivan uh clear his five hundredth game. Uh I think that makes him only six players or six coaches, sorry, to uh have ever coached that many games. Uh where will he go down Kenti as is one of the greats? Well he Yeah, look he's gonna be remembered that way. Four premierships in a row, that's hard to argue.
Like you've got to go back I think Ken Carney coached The Dragons threw four uh at least four of those grand finals. I'm not sure. I should have had a look at actually was. Uh but that but that was the last time anyone coached that many grand finals in a row. And I and before that, no one did. I think South said uh Well they have four and five years in sixty seven, six uh six yeah, sixty seven, sixty-eight, and then seventy, seventy one. Uh I think Clive was coaching through there. But uh it's just an enormous effort. Bit of news out of the Titans this afternoon, uh Kenty, with A. J. Brimson being granted permission to leave. Surprised by that? I I'm surprised by the timing of it. I'm not surprised overall. Th the p the problem for poor old Brimson has probably only been really exacerbated in the last month.
Is i is a is a player with nowhere to play? So they've they've essentially you can have a problem when you are uh too too adaptable and you've got this utility value. Okay, we can play a fullback, we can play a five eighth. Recently he went to halfback. Uh and it look he he was capable in all those spots. Uh essentially he's played center there as well. But uh ultimately uh Josh Hannay's following specialists for those positions who who are giving you know, in a like for like uh com comparison, uh they're giving b uh better output. So he's he's essentially found himself uh while he's got no doubt a value within the team, uh he he's essentially found himself with nowhere to play. Uh and given the money he's on, he I think his last contract he signed basically in the throes of being an origin player, uh he's on good coin.
Uh it just frees up a lot of money if they get rid of him. They've got players that are coming through I think really, really strong this season. Uh he's the future as as far as their fullback goes. Uh Zayn Harrison's been uh talked about for Papua New Guinea. I can't believe that. I can't believe that's a chance. Yeah, yeah, he's too young. Yeah, but too young, mate. Sometimes you don't know what you're missing out on either. Look, he's i in many respects with that point of view, you're after When they're young like that and they're talented like he is You're hungry. And if you can get him up there and I dare say away from some bad influences like the nightclub li life that gets some players, particularly players in Sydney.
The meter maids up on the gold coast. Well, yeah, I don't know. They're they're they're a distraction. But you know what I mean? Like the the it's the but the gold coast itself, it can be a distraction for a man of that age. Uh but you get him away from that and you Get him in a an environment where he he essentially can't do those sorts of things. There are no distractions. Well, there are no distractions. And look, and but he from a from a m mindset of a young, ambitious, talented player He's more adept at handling that. Than a guy who probably wants to get out and enjoy the party, lifestyle, and the the notoriety of being an NRL player. Some guys are NRL players and some guys like to be known as NRL players.
You know what I mean? And you can often see the difference the way they train. And so from that point of view, uh I I think he's I I think it's a if they miss out on Cleary and Walker, who are their priorities, and and there's a chance they do miss out on both of those.
