Seems well liked by the playing group though and has had a raw deal IMO..
I just got through talking about the Hoskings in the other thread, and one thing i was talking about was, specifically Jess Hoskings ability to be a good teammate, off the field. Set the example, be the role model and generally just be a nice girl to have on your list.
Kennedy would be the exact opposite IMO. Nothing about him as a player, just comes from a different way of looking at life....and one that could (unfairly??) ostracize him.
Its why Luke O'Sullivan was on the list for 10 years and only played 50 games. He was a great guy to have around and that earned him contracts over someone who didn't quite fit in.....ie Kennedy types.
You beat me to the punch with the 'tweetgate'. Its hard to recover from such things.
