Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast
NSW Conspiracy, PVL Interference & Broncos Rumours | Ask Kenty
Season 2, Ep. 195
•
Kenty answers the questions fans are actually asking.
Kenty dives into the NSW conspiracy theory around Game 3, whether Laurie Daley could ever land at the Broncos, and the times fans think PVL or the NRL have interfered with the game.
He also gives his view on knock-on interpretations, Cleary's final Origin conversion, radio broadcast rights, drink breaks, stories that never made it to air, six-again stats, forgotten legends, 300-game records, the top 2026 signings, different team structures and whether a conference system could work in the NRL.
