Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast

This week, Kenty and Johnny are joined by NRL legend Benny Elias — one of the toughest and smartest players to ever don the Wests Tigers jersey and a true icon of the game. From Origin battles to steering Balmain to grand finals, Benny’s resume speaks for itself.

But this chat pulls no punches.

The trio dive headfirst into the fiery mess that is the Tigers — where it all went wrong, who’s responsible, and why the club just can’t seem to find its way. Benny unloads on Benji Marshall’s coaching struggles, the Isaac Moses influence, and the Galvin situation that’s dividing the fanbase.

Raw. Passionate. Unfiltered.

This is a must-watch for every Tigers fan — and every league lover who enjoys some real talk.
