Biography

A Junior Kiwi rep while playing for the Randwick club in NZ Tony Kemp played with English club Doncaster in 1986-87 and 1989-90. The talented centre (who was equally adept in a number of backline positions) had to take the NZRL to court in order to join Newcastle in 1989. NZ officials continued to block Kemp's move, which delayed his start to the season to the end of April, but his aggressive running style and large frame made him a valuable player with the Knights over the following six seasons. His last hurrah with Newcastle was as the club's try-scorer in the 5-4 loss to Norths in the 1993 reserve grade grand final before joining English club Castleford. After two seasons with Castleford (1993-94 & 1994-95) Kemp moved to Leeds (1995-98) and then Wakefield Trinity (1999-2000). A veteran of 25 Tests Kemp took over from David Anderson as Warriors’ coach during the club’s tumultuous 2004 season. In 2005 he was replaced by former clubman Ivan Cleary.

    Tony Kemp podcast:
    As Waitara lad growing up in the fifties/sixties I definitely know where you are coming from. Them days the leagues Club was upstairs near the picture theatre in Waitara, Alan And Peter Marshal, Brian Lambert were just a couple of legends. The freezing works, the parties, the fights ,the alcohol etc etc and as a fifteenth, sixteen,seventeen eighteen year old played play for Taranaki as well was great but I just had to get out of that town it was choking me. Played in Wellington (Randwick one season) then headed to Oz and haven’t looked back, and that moved in another Waitara Legend Kingi Tamati then two of his sons Teri and Tony among three or four others moved over so it was happy day. Without going on and I really enjoyed and understood your podcast and thank you for opening up, Ka Pai , and Kia Kaha Tony ✊🏾
