Although I have no problem with Kelly signing for you you do wonder as a Rovers fan of what might have been if he'd have behaved himself and played in the middle 8s his career here and in Australia seems to have followed the same pattern I know he wanted to go back to Australia at the end of his first season for us but they were no takers it was a no brainier you signing him and it's paying off just watched his tries and his long cut out pass brings back memories

Was a good one, certainly.

Just going to enjoy the AK journey. He could have probably gone elsewhere this year for more money, so he might just like the environment we provide for him.
He's a rare breed in Super League - an overseas player near his prime.

A few games in and he's already got two songs as well!

Alberts best friend is Maurice Blair at HKR which probably influenced his decision to stay in Hull.
I dont know when Blairs contract finishes with HKR but lets hope that whilst Blair is in Hull it makes Albert more comfortable to be here and we see at least another season from him.

Blair signed for 2 years at the beginning of the season

Didn't help him much at rovers. Maybe he's just realised it could be last chance saloon and hes at a better club

On the wire board in danny brough thread,someone saying its been in the press he is off back over there?

Hope not

Great to see a pair of decent halfbacks playing at the club after so long without. I thought Sneeeeyd had his best game with ball in hand for us as well against Widnes. Obviously he brings an A1 kicking game as well which was so sadly lacking during the coach-bashing era. Motu/AP/radders deserve massive credit for the way they've turned recruitment round and I'd hope they'd sign Albert up ASAP if he's happy here.

He did play that well and consistently in his first year, he is undoubtedly a talent and maybe he will settle. I'm pretty certain if you trawl the archives that there'll be a pretty identical thread on our board about getting an improved deal on the table, interest from the NRL ect.

It will be interesting to see how he does get on after a few months especially if he gets a longer term deal. I have a feeling he will sort himself out this time, he must realise this is he last, last chance and his next stop will be lower league Australian rugby if he blows it this time.

As for the 70 year old guy who says he is better than Millward was, I'm assuming he has memory issues...

Why? Millward was undoubtedly a great of the game, but it doesn't mean he will remain the best ever rovers player. Millward played on an era of part time, overweight forwards which will have been far easier to side step around as they tired.

imo bit early to put him in the millward bracket yet,

He's played a handful of good games, Millward had many good seasoned pitching

Why?, quite simple, Kelly played 2 years at Rovers and wasn't fit tie Rogers laces either playing or professionalism wise. I agree better may come along in time but Kelly wasn't it.

Millward also played in a time when it was part of the game to smash little blokes around the head and go pretty much unpenalised. Think you'll struggle to find anyone (apart from some 70 year old bloke) who thinks Kelly was the best HB we have ever had...

Millward was a legend. Kelly ATM is the player we have been looking for . Can't compare really but IMO if Kelly keeps it up we have a real diamond on our hands .

I don't think many people will be in the "Albert is better than Roger" camp.
