It's not as though he wasn't making his name already in the NRL.
I hope we keep him for the full two years but if not I hope he continues to give his all for this season. It's a rare privilege to have such a talent in our ranks.

Wow! .....Talk about paranoia!

Does all that still stand if there is a get-out clause in his contract should an NRL team come calling? No idea (obviously) if he has such a clause in his contract but it has been rumoured in the past that a lot of your NRL signings have.

According to Chris Chester there is no get out clause in Albert Kelly's contract.
If the club did let him go then i would be disappointed to say the least and would have to question the long term ambitions of the cub, its ok some on here saying we should enjoy his talent while he is here but we may also just as well say that about any other real talent that comes along in the future before letting them also go elsewhere .
There comes a point where Rovers BOD have to at least try their utmost to keeping their best players for the long term if the club is really serious about its future success, otherwise fans like myself ( I've been watching the club for 48 years now) will start thinking... what is the point?.

Well said and i agree with you and i beat you i have watched rovers for 52 yrs now and hope to watch for a lot more yet

Perhaps we should join forces and be known as the Centurions, well at least for a year anyway.

Surely it's to be expected that you have an overseas half back leave before the end of his contract? Happens every year. I'd be more worried if it were campese leaving if I were a rovers supporter.

I'd be amazed if there wasn't NRL interest in a 24 year old half who is tearing it up and playing every week. I fully expect him to go back down under at the end of the season, but whether we get a fee or nothing, it's been a privilege already.

However, with Campese signed up long term, I would expect the club to be fairly chilled at the prospect.

That's the point though, we should not be in a position where we expect this to happen every year otherwise we 're never going to achieve stability in the half backs.
Don't forget, we had had a poor year last year because of a "shall we say" less than suitable half back pairing, we don't want to be in a position where we are forever trying to find suitable replacements simply to let them move on after one season.
Its a merry go round that we have to stop if we are ever going to be a real force in the game imo.

Please don't use the word "Centurions". It makes me think of Leigh and puts me off my food.

If a player wants to play elsewhere, he'll play elsewhere? Contracts mean nothing these day's.
