The bit about him already training is true at he was spotted running near our training ground on Saturday and was sat with our mr Hatton at craven park at the junior game on Sunday

There seems to be a strict regime of due diligence where signings are concerned and so far this has served us well. If the same applies in this case (and there's nothing to suggest otherwise) then this could turn out to be an inspired signing. I 100% trust Motu, Adam and Radders to do what's best for our club.

On a low salary he's probably worth a punt and we can kick him out if he doesn't toe the line, however I think some people maybe have watched a different albert kelly to me. He's certainly talented and off the cuff but his stats for the last 2 seasons aren't great and let's not forget he was half back for a side which ended both seasons he was there in the bottom 4. Talented individual, worth a punt at the right price but he's not the messiah

He's just a naughty boy?

Sorry... couldn't resist.

They had loads of injuries don't you know



They did score some points though and I think the pack was their problem area more than the backs.

Must be looking at different stats to me, his attacking stats are good, very high for clean breaks and tackle busts, scores and sets up plenty of try's and that's in a poor side, behind a terrible pack. Every time we have played them in the last two years, he is the only player to worry me, he was excellent in the CP derby.

I don't think talent is a worry and if he stays fit and is motivated will be a great signing.

Some news about to break according to Smailes

New deals for Zeus Silk, Connor Bower and Mike Adlard

Excellent news, some potentially some good players there.

Must be looking at different stats then as the ones I saw showed him with only 21 try assists in 2 years. As a comparison, sneyd had 42 and people complain about his try creating ability.

kelly will be comfortably the worst defender we will have though

Couldn't give a stuff about stats, if Kelly signs he'll be our best half back.

So you have compared one thing try assists? One playing every game for a top side against a bottom club player, you do know those stats don't include middle 8 games, so that's an extra 14 games Sneyd had?

Maybe he doesn't assist as much bra cause he scores so many?

Different type of half to Sneyd, he is a runner and this shows in his stats.

Defence isn't a worry for me, this will improve in a better side with better players, if want a half who can defend, may as well stick with Carlos or put Washy there.
