Is Kenny trying to hard?

I remember a few years back you had Kenny on one side and Ma'u on the other who just ran solid lines and hit holes. Don't know what Kenny's role is right now but he seems to be letting the players around him down big time. I believe he his one of the most damaging back-rowers who has a great offload and good footwork at the line. He needs to calm down and do his job.. I think everyone is tired of making up for his silly errors and how he is simply prancing around the field like a bloody gazelle.

Definitely admire him as a player, hence why I just want him to stop overcomplicating his role.

  • Yes he is trying too hard. That's exactly what he's doing.
  • Kenny reminds me of the other Eels player (can't think of his name at the moment) who ended up at the Warriors but is now back in NSW playing in lower teams. He used to offload the ball a lot and like Kenny Edwards did good things followed by stupid things.
  • When he is good is great for the team. We are in danger of having too many big guys who just run hard at the line and do not much else. Especially since we lost Junior and now Gower is not being picked.

    It looked like he was trying to milk stripping penalties, but the refs watch for that now.

  • He seems to be trying to be a ball player too often, he just needs to concentrate on doing his job as a edge forward running good lines straight and hard and the offloads will come and need to stop with the rubbish penalties.

  • Needs to stop give away silly penalties. Last week against the raiders he gave away a penalty on the last tackle which changed the game.
  • Yes needs to calm down
  • Feleti Mateo

    • Yep! Hindy that's the guy, plays a bit like Feleti Mateo, likes to offload at every chance, thinks he's a half back but he isn't, get over excited etc......
  • I really like Kenny but his antics are getting a bit old. Him trying to cuddle blokes after a try is like a catch phrase from a 90's sitcom. You know it's coming and the more you see it the less funny it becomes.  Him also running in and overeacting when the other team makes a mistake is a bit over the top too.

    As to his game play I agree he is trying to hard and needs to get back to running good lines.Twice he lost the ball early in the tackle count. Hopefully he will pull his head in and get back to playing good footy instead of concentrating on trying to be funny and niggling the other team.
