Representative Career
Bert (to his fans) debuted at the State of Origin level in 1982 as a replacement in game II before being selected in the run-on side for game III.
His season form saw him selected for the 1982 Kangaroo Tour of a team that came to be known as the Invincibles where Kenny played so well that he was selected in all six of the tour's Tests and for three of those he kept Wally Lewis out of the Test team. He scored six tries in the Tests plus six minor tour matches. For the rest of Kenny's international career he was picked in the centres to accommodate Lewis at five-eighth.
He toured in 1986 with the second Kangaroo side to go through a tour unbeaten, scoring eight tries in five Tests and nine minor tour matches. That year he was also named man-of-the-match in the final game of the State of Origin series.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
