At least Roach's stories are from experience and having lived the blood and thunder on-field life. Paul Kent just quotes books and pages from Wayne Bennett, Jack Gibson and Vince Lombardi for the majority of his feeble input on Matt Johns show.

I do enjoy his Kempys Locker Room Podcasts as it's a good insight to the person the player is and where they came from.

Although can't stand the million Uhms and Uhhs but that's typical footy players.

He does make a good beer though...

obviously roach has more experience but Kent did play grade at norths and parra, so he knows what he is talking about.

Apples and oranges though. One of them was the most feared player of his generation and the other thinks he is Mr Football IMO. Blocker has got the scars and broken noses to authenticate his musings, Kent only gets a gig because him and Johns brown-nose each others bungholes.

Personally - I can't recall too many players saying after their career that they were paid outside the cap. But for me, that's deadset proof that the Roosters in the early naughties were cheating. Only difference is, they got away with it.
Another one where Test player says Rorter$ paid him in brown paper bags..

Not sure if it's true or not. But even still the NRL bury their heads in the sand whenever this sort of thing sees daylight.
Problem is, some of the head honcho's around the administration of the game are probably receiving cash payments and 'gifts' from Crusty Nick as well.

Would have been sued for defamation by now if untrue..

I can't see a reason for him to lie about it. But this just goes to show they weren't just cheats, they were ***** to go along with it by cutting off a youngster when he wasn't quite cutting it on field.
