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.

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.

Not disagreeing with you, but to be fair, I never saw RM play live.
I do think it pointless in comparing players of different era's, its a very different game now to what it was.

I completely agree.
On the Albert front history is repeating so far, he's been very good in his opening games. Proof will be over the length of his contract (current and future).

For me we just need to keep his interest and his focus on the pitch, competing for finals and winning trophies should help.

I think, if as was suggested, he's on an inventive based conttact, that will keep him focussed.

An incentive based contract would surely be better than an invented one though
Seriously though if as is suspected Kelly signed with an incentive type contract that that should be enough to keep him performing and focused on the game. Not taking at swipe here either but Kelly in interviews has also alluded to the fact that Hull is a much more professional club than his previous one and has made it easier to settle in and get on with his game.
However he has a history and we can nopt forget that but currently he is what we have needed for so long and hopefully long may it last and he keeps his nose clean and works hard and performs each week for us.

| On the Wire forum regarding Danny Brough to them, someone has stated that kelly is going to St George and Brough back to Hull? Apparently that was mentioned back in Aus.
Can't see it one bit, but an odd statement.

| If kelly stays fit and focused then every club with cap space will want him. All this talk of an incentive based contract is nonsense. After this season he'll either be worth big money or nothing. If we want to keep him he won;t sign for peanuts
