totally agree

Your joking. Dare I say it, more entertaining than Cabman!

There are certainly similarities.

I can see people bookmaking this thread and it making a reappearance at the end of the season.

Absolutley. When we rip the superleague apart his words will become legend.

I actually think he's right

Kelly could turn out to be the best halve in the league along with Carney. He'll be well ahead of his team mates though and probably left scratching his head wondering what he's doing with a bunch average jokers.

Give him a yard of space and there's no catching him. I'm excited to see him play.

You still have to ask why Kelly never got another contract with Gold Coast or why another NRL club never picked him up if he is that good?.

Yes, you have to ask that question. But you need to know how much Albert Kelly is being paid by Hull KR in order to know whether or not he was out of the range of affordability for other NRL clubs. Plus you have to ask which NRL clubs were looking for a scrum half. I suspect that most if not all NRL clubs had that issue sorted when Kelly became available. The most perplexing question is why Gold Coast let him go. That may be because of concern over his injury, but it may not.

Past off the field problems at previous clubs and legs are shot to bits.

cannot see rovers being able to pay more for a player,than an NFL club.

The big questions on Kelly are not about his ability once on the field but getting him on it in the first place. Considering the dobbins record on signing players with "issues" this is another huge gamble. Still the pubs and doctors in Hull can look forward to more work coming their way.

And as has been said if he does turn out any good he'll be going somewhere else pretty quickly.

Like it or not (and I really don't) but on the whole, Rovers NRL gambles have proven more effective than our gambles, if you get my drift. Clearly this is a risk, but it is one I would have taken personally.

Not sure on that and Willie Mason remains the benchmark against all others. TBH with the NRL salary cap so high and the clubs there now having a bit of space to accommodate even problem players signing any NRL player is something of a gamble these days.

The place for discussing Rovers signings is the Rovers board, not here.

Ta much.
