Kenty - Paul Kent NRL Podcast

Jerome Luai's shock Tigers exit takes centre stage as Kenty and Crawls break down why Wests made the call, how Benji Marshall handled the fallout, and why Parramatta's one-year play for Luai says plenty about Jason Ryles' pressure to win now.

Plus the wider NRL contract mess, player managers, exit clauses, whether constant player-movement scandals actually help rugby league, and why the game still has no clean answer for mid-season contract chaos. #NRL #RugbyLeague
