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.

Fortunately it was silverware last year though. I'm sure most dobbins fans would love some of that rigid turgid structure rather than having to watch the likes of oldham week in, week out?

There was an interview with watts on talksport the other week where he said that sandy didn't like him so rovers were hawking him around and he was about to sign for wakefield when we came in at the 11th hour and signed him instead. He's one of my favourite Hull players who is capable of the odd brain fart but also has some sublime skills which most front rowers don't. A 6 in a prop's body to coin a phrase.

I think that westerman moving on probably did watts some good plus he has a couple of kids now I think. Still only 26 so has plenty of years left in him
