  Aside from King Wally, Brett Kenny is argueably the greatest five eighth ever to play the game

  Should be an immortal..kept an immortal on the bench. Could play anywhere in the backs, wally lewis could only play at 6. Better than lockyer.

  Absolute champion player second to Wally Lewis as the best number 6 in the 80s. Somewhat unlucky not to get a nomination as an Immortal.

  My favourite player of all time always spoken about his brilliant attack but in my opinion he was a great defence five eight with a copy book tackling style

  Speed,balance and timing..brilliant.

  Brett Kenny in his prime is in my opinion the best big match player rugby league has seen. Without doubt Parramattas winning grand finals 1981 1982 1983 he was clearly the best player on the field.
  If is also a champion off the field.

  Brett kenny was definitely better then wally lewis look at his premierships and his club career with parramatta. His rep career was amazing especially when he played for nsw and he alway played better then wally lewis did for his state. I dont understand why brett kenny is not a immortal yet.

  The most brilliant player I saw play live and close up on those fantastic Sydney suburban grounds that are great for watching football, and I saw many standout players, but this guy was something special.

  Brett Kenny is still the greatest player I've ever seen. He should have been an Immortal by now. He was the embodiment of poetry in motion. By age 25 he had achieved it all - Played in 5 GF's, won 4 GF's. Won the Challenge Cup and Lance Todd trophy, first Australian player ever to do it. Won the Golden Boot for 1985, how he did not win it for the 1986 season I'll never know. Was retrospectively awarded the CCM for the 82 and 83 GF's. Went on two unbeaten Kangaroo tours displacing Wally Lewis in 82 and Mal Meninga in 86, both now Immortals. Played in every State of Origin match from the time he debuted until he stopped playing. NSW won both series where he was picked at five eighth for all three games. Ended up scoring over 100 tries for the Eels once his career finished.

  Best player I have ever seen.
  I was at Cumberland Oval at the end of the season when he was given the Rookie of the year award.
