Brett Kenny was Wally's kryptonite. The one player who could go toe to toe with him in Origin. But together, and with Sterlo feeding them, they became unbeatable. And that doesn't even take in account the other legends around them.

GB did themselves in in the first half by trying to play dry weather football inside their own quarter. Still kept it competitive until halfway through second half. Lee Crooks singlehandedly kept it close, great player. Up against the greatest Australian side ever, they did well. I grew up idolizing Lewis so I never paid enough attention to Kenny, every try out wide by Australia, he either thru the last pass or was setting it up in other ways. If Lewis wasn't around Kenny would be an immortal, no doubt about it, the guy could do everything and had great pace. What an era, for GB also, they had 4 players in that side who could walk on to the Aussie side, no problem.

I grew up in Parra in the Kenny, Price, Sterlo, Cronin etc era. I always said Kenny was then and in my book still the greatest “natural” player of the game. His timing, reading and smooth execution just came so naturally to him. Awesome gifted player.
@JohnnyDogs1978

@@iamthebroker his timing in that first Miles try, he straightens up and as soon as Miles's man was turned in he passes it flat, straight on his chest. He's done it a million times, brilliant eyes up player. Lockyer reminded me of him when he was young, that gliding style of running and beautiful soft hands. I think Lewis suited the time a bit better, rough, more solid, but there's a slim piece of paper between them, and it shows how great they both were to play together the way they did on that tour. I was 8 in 86 but I've watched a lot of games from that era, the old NRL site was great, you could watch games from back then, now it sucks.

The RL days before coconuts with exception of maybe Meninga hardly a single one to be seen. The RL juniors clubs in Sydney were mostly like that as well in the 80s complete opposite now. It was safer sport to play for Junior as well mainly due to not having 15 year olds in a 30 years olds body. Amatuers wanted to enjoy playing the sport not get killed or be decapitated in their child hood or teens.
