A four-time premiership winner, two-time Dally M Winger of the Year and two-time Brad Fittler Medallist, To\u2019o has achieved nearly everything there is in the NRL, but it was his performance against the Roosters on Friday that caught the attention of Kemp.<\/p>\n

Already regarded as the best winger in the NRL at the moment, the former Broncos and Warriors flyer took it one step further labelling him the greatest of all-time when it comes to wing players.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s done, it\u2019s full stop\u2026 Brian To\u2019o is the greatest winger to ever play rugby league,\u201d Kemp said on Saturday League Kick Off on SEN Radio. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the end of the conversation. There\u2019s no but, there\u2019s no maybe. \u201cStatistically, in every single category essentially, outside of obviously scoring tries, he is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). <\/p>\n
\u201cThat try (against the Roosters) was nothing short of phenomenal, and that, what\u2019s crazy is that came from\u2026 the 200 metre, PCM (post-contact metre) king. He\u2019s a front rower on the wing. His job is to get you 200 metres, 100 metres of PCMs, he\u2019s doing that as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s doing the PCMs and he\u2019s doing double grubbers. I\u2019ve never seen a bloke with 100 PCMs plus two grubbers in one game in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although To\u2019o is only 27 years of age and still has plenty of seasons to go under his belt, Kemp believes the Panthers star has already overtaken the likes of Brett Morris, Hazem El Masri, Ken Irvine and Wendell Sailor, among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one knock, whenever you say this is the GOAT, they go \u2018but the high ball\u2019. Find me some footage of him losing the highballs,\u201d Kemp added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere might be one-off games of some former greats that could go toe to toe with Bizza (To\u2019o) or you could find a winger that might be a better finisher or something like that, but the full package of essentially being a front rower on the wing, but also be one of the great try scorers (elevates him). <\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s won multiple Brad Fittler medals in Origin in losing series. His average in Origin is 200 metres a game. Bro, you know how hard that is in Origin? \u201c(He\u2019s) phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n

EX BLUES GREATS NAME ORIGIN SMOKEY<\/p>\n
Former NSW Blues representative Paul Gallen and Mark Geyer have labelled in-form Penrith Panthers winger Thomas Jenkins as a potential \u2018smokey\u2019 to play State of Origin later this year.<\/p>\n
The try-scoring leader, Jenkins has scored eight tries in three matches for the Panthers this season and is coming off a stellar showing in which he crossed the line four times against the Roosters last Friday night.<\/p>\n
Taking his game to another level, the 25-year-old is arguably the most in-form winger of the competition at the moment alongside teammate Brian To\u2019o.<\/p>\n
Speaking on 2GB\u2019s Continuous Call Team, Paul Gallen, a former Blues captain, admitted that Jenkins is doing everything in his power to push for an Origin debut.<\/p>\n
However, he did state that there were \u201ca couple of guys\u201d ahead of him in the pecking order.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s just doing the right things for Penrith at the moment, which at the end of the day is what you\u2019ve got to do – play good for your club side,\u201d Gallen said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re going good enough for your club side, things can turn out the right way for you and you can be in the sky blue jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jenkins TORCHES Easts with 4 Tries | 00:51<\/p>\n
Some players ahead of Jenkins at this stage to replace Zac Lomax include Campbell Graham, Jacob Kiraz, Josh Addo-Carr and Mark Nawaqanitawase.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s scoring tries for fun at the moment,\u201d Geyer, who played in three matches for New South Wales in the 1990s, added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just knows where the try line is and he gives 100 per cent. I love the way he plays. <\/p>\n
\u201cAt the start of last year he was playing for St Marys in the Ron Massey Cup \u2026 and all of a sudden opportunities arise.\u201c<\/p>\n
