Mr Kemp retired from playing in 2014 and since has had an online show The Locker Room, chatting with past and present players.

He promises pre-game analysis and insights from the bar’s studio booth every week plus interviews with big names of the game and other codes.

Gold Coast Titan Jarrod Wallace is among the first NRL stars interviewed live in the studio in the middle of Broadbeach’s new Bloke in a Bar venue.

“Once a week we’ll have NRL players doing pre-game chats and Q & As.”

Gold Coast Titans including senior stars Ryan James and Kevin Proctor dropped in on Saturday night.

The bar has four big TV screens and its own range of Bloke in a Bar beers on tap.
