Kennedy is given the same ‘respect’ as Adam Sadler, Jack Lyons and Glen Driscoll. All four have left the club, no reasons are given, no gushing comments. Not a peep from Michael Nicholson, Peter Lawwell.
The game we want to play relies on us keeping the intensity levels as high as we can and Daizen’s energy triggers a lot of that for us, in terms of shutting down the time teams get to set up attacks.
There were a variety of set-backs for Kennedy as he attempted to resume his playing career, thanks largely to the surgery undertaken by Dr Richard Steadman in Colorado.
Kennedy seems to be very highly rated and well connected despite waiting on his 40th birthday next month with an incredible breadth of experience packed into nine years of first team involvement.
Brendan’s terrific for the club. I know him very well and have a great working relationship with him from the past.
