Kemp is our Luke Burt/Michael Robertson, decent if not at times good but never great.

Hmmm, bit early to be saying that, don't you think?

Kemp was excellent in 2008, last year not so much. I'm happy to write it off though.

I think people need to lower their expectations and forget about all the hype when they discuss Kemp. He's suffered a fairly serious injury early on this season, so it could take a while for him to get back up to speed.

Yet to see too much decent from him this season. Can't see much coming either.

Yeh he was terrible but you don't see anyone talking him up to be an outstanding winger like they do with Kemp, who is our 3rd best winger.

Nobody has said Kemp played well on Friday night. IMO Kemp has proved more than Yow Yeh and Winterstien so Kemp is our best winger.

Yeh he showed alot........2 years ago. Since then we haven't seen a glimpse of it.

Seriously, at the moment he is the most over-rated Broncos player in our club's history. Big call yes.

lol pretty sure that match winning try against the cowboys in round one is a massive glimpse of talent!! Kemp has a habit of scoring match winning trys.

Yes, from about mid-season onwards Kemp was great BUT to confuse form with class and talent is silly. Even when he was in that type of form, he was extremely average at fullback.

That's not to de-ride Kemp, I do believe he's a better player than Winterstein who's still very much a mixed bag to me. If we were at full strength, I'd much rather Kemp outwide, he is a game breaker.

As opposed to Yow Yeh who was good for a couple of games in 2009!!!!!!!!

Also not a bad effort from Kemp to score 19 tries in half a season!!!!!!

How good was Kemp in his debut year?

Or how good was he in 2009 even?

To me, he's yet to solifidy himself as a great. To do so is really unfair on him.

That's not to say our other wingers are greats either - they're not but at least everybody is sensible about them.

Did I say he was great?? If I did I must be crazy. Out of the 3 wingers we have he is by far the best finisher.

Who cares??? Everyone goes on about how good Kemp's season was in 2008 yet in reality he didn't put it together for the whole season in 2008, and definately didn't back it up in 2009.

Your right who cares the truth is out there and it will be proven by the end of 2010.

Frankly I'm amazed Winterstein has avoided criticism. Sure, scored a thousand tries last year but 999 of them he just had to finish, just like people bag Kemp. And defensively he's no better. And Winterstein doesn't go looking for the ball like Kemp and Yow Yeh do. I rate Winterstein the 3rd winger.

Long way to go champ. I hope he proves me wrong but I am not holding my breath.
