Everything about Brent Webb totally explained
Brent Webb is an Australian born
New Zealand rugby league player for
Leeds Rhinos in the
European Super League. Webb plays as a
full-back and is a
New Zealand international.
International Football
He has also represented the
New Zealand national team and was a stand-out player at the
2006 Rugby League Tri-Nations tournament.
Although he's Australian born and is an
Indigenous Australian of
Torres Strait Islander origin, he became a
New Zealand citizen which later allowed him to be selected for the
New Zealand national team.
Australian player
Willie Mason created controversy for being televised verbally mocking Webb during the Kiwis performance of the
Haka before the first
2006 Tri-Nations match in
Auckland,
New Zealand. Mason stated that he was mocking Webb for doing the
Haka even though he was an
Aboriginal (even though Mason was born in Auckland), Webb later retorted that he wasn't an
Aboriginal but in fact a
Torres Strait Islander. Mason was later flattened by a massive hit during the game by Kiwis enforcer
David Kidwell.
Leeds Rhinos
Brent is set to be a huge asset to the Rhinos. A skillful player either in attack or defence, his outstanding performances for both the Warriors and the national team made him a worthy winner of the title New Zealand Player of the Year, which he shared with Melbourne Storm’s David Kidwell. Leeds Rhinos announced they'd captured the signature of New Zealand full back Brent Webb during the 2006 season on a two year contract. He comes to Headingley Carnegie fresh from being one of the players of the tournament in the Tri Nations. Since making his first grade debut back in 2002 Webb has quickly established himself as one of the best attacking full backs in NRL, and with a great strength and speed that will ensure he's a great asset to the Rhinos.
Controversy
Brent Webb has received a four match ban following two head high tackles in
Leeds' recent match against
Harlequins RL at the
Twickenham Stoop.
The
Kiwi international had an eventful game, being placed on report twice and sin-binned, but then scoring two tries and having a hand in others.
Personal Life
His partner Jenny gave birth to their first son in April 2007 and named him Ruben Douglas Webb, after retired Kiwis captain
Ruben Wiki.
Brent Webb is a former schoolboy player from
Kirwan State High School in
Townsville, Queensland,
Australia.
