Whilst Albert Kelly always has fantastic second seasons at most clubs he's been with.

Not unlike Kelly at yours? As said elsewhere as long as contract loaded in clubs favour it's a calculated risk.Hes the standard of player we needed but not convinced wing was a priority? Clean slate with us,same as Chase at Vikings. It's in the players own hands if they take the fresh start and knuckle down

ALL clubs he's been at if I am not mistaken, as others have said calculated risk but one worth taking imo, offers some real go forward out wide

Shouldn't that read " My hope is that Carney will not see out his contract at rovers"

For Carney read Kelly.

Only time will tell. I hope both do well as its a shame to see genuine talent let down by personality traits.

On the pitch he's one of the best wingers in town. Off the pitch who knows? He might well buckle down and as with Kelly for us. IMO worth the risk

Firstly, I do not agree with this signing, do not want him at the club.

Secondly regarding hypocrisy, surely that would be promoting a campaign against domestic violence and then signing a convicted wife beater?

Thirdly I know you lot have a downer on our chairman but answer me this has Hudgell ever had to employ a driver?
How do you feel about people who drive under the influence of alcohol?

are you saying that mr p has been convicted of dd if so hang him high

Er yes he has, went over the points limit when he was caught using a mobile and got banned for 6 months. Being the utter scum that he is I see Hudgell has gone out of his way to have search records for this removed, absolutely typical of this unethical chancer. If anyone drives under the influence of alcohol they deserve everything what the law throws at them - I won't excuse it. Satisified?

Not aimed at you, aimed at people who will use any excuse to have a go at Hudge while seemingly oblivious to, in my opinion, the much more serious transgression than being the chairman of a club who signed a player that many of us do not want representing our club.

I do not like what he did but if the guy helps us to get back to super league great then when is time is up if he has been ok lets worry about it then

More traffic on this forum in 24 hours than the last 3 months. We should sign more "characters", it allows the neighbours to foolishly attempt to get the moral high ground.

Marvellous.

drink driving the piece of Harrogate shism he should have been jailed

Having spent the last however many months moaning that the club had lost its opportunistic edge and was worried too much about JP's principles, now there's something I'm a little uneasy with ethically, I can only choose which type of hypocrite I want to be.

I'll judge him as I find him, I guess.

From a purely rugby perspective, he should certainly add some strike out wide.

Tim Sheens has come out and defended him, with the knowledge that he has known him and his family for many years. Whilst we all seek to find the moral high ground, I for one am willing to give him a chance, there is no doubt he is a class player, and we would have been mightily hacked off if a few months down the line when he was potentially coming up against us in the 8's and we then found out we could have signed him but turned the offer down. There would have been calls about our efforts is signing class players etc etc. All this is of course hypothetical but I much prefer to have him with us than against us.
