This must be one of the most banal threads ever.

continuing with the banal........I remember Keith Pollard playing prop for Rovers in what must have been the early to mid 60s. He was pretty young when he first got in the first team but never really made it and spent most of his time in the A team. He was built more on the Dave Chisnall model rather than the Eric but was a decent enough player. He left for Keighley and now I know where he went after that.

Josh Mantellato has been named for Wyong Roos in the NSW cup this week.
That is his junior club.

A couple of tries for the former rovers favourite tonight

Few ways to look at it.the fact leeds and Huddersfield had 9 out this early into season is unbelievable and no lessons learnt from last year it seems.?cant devalue hulls win without doing same to cas but having watched cas v rhinos cas were playing champagne rugby and I had tenner on Eden @7s with betfred happy days.Kelly is a maverick player in a team built on rigid turgid structure. Unfortunately it will not trouble the silverware this year .cas on paper gale aside (debatable) would hull fans swap any other player?

Can anybody decipher this for me?

Kelly did what Kelly does can be great or can be poor last night he was great if he's anything like he was at his previous clubs he should be great this season followed by a poor one but who knows

Muller Muller grundy. ...The Stones.

You could well be right.

Can't argue with that.

Hudds were pretty poor so it's difficult to read too much into the performance from Hull.

Kelly took his tries well & the pick up & pass for Tuimavave's try was great. Frankie might be right, he may have a decent year and poor next year, but we were told by Rovers fans the same about Watts and nearly 5 years on we're still waiting.

He's great to watch anyway, and certainly injects some much needed flair into what can be a pretty stale attack at times.

Kelly adds that extra dynamic in attack that you have lacked in recent seasons. Assuming he brings consistency to his game, he avoids making too many errors, turns up in defence and stays injury free, you just might have got a better contributing replacement for Wanky Frankie the Tankie. Reasons to be optimistic, therefore.

I always liked Watts and thought he would be a great player the problem was he got involved with a couple of players who were a bad influence

You just have to take the rough with the smooth with him. He'll be outstanding one week and anonymous the next, just the nature of the beast. Maybe this being his last, last chance saloon he might hold his idiot tendency in check this time. Time will tell.
