2013 Prospects:
Put his hand up late in the season to partner Jared Waerea-Hargreaves as the permanent starting front row for the Roosters in 2013. Made the emerging Queensland squad before the 2012 season, so there are plenty of good judges expecting big things out of Kennedy in the future.

Next Up: Anthony Minichiello.
