Harsh on Long there IMO,

Granted he was past his prime, but played well for Hull and was unfortunate with a couple of serious injuries.

Agree about Thorman


Back OT, Great news about Kelly

Possible, not probable though.
Don't believe for one minute there was NRL clubs looking at him either, why would they? He's had a good 8? games for us, but there's plenty of halves off contract in the NRL without him. Factor in the complete non-credible source of the rumours too.

Radford should maybe pop into Highway of an evening

Are their staff not as well drilled as Lee's?

Winner of SL try of the month. With a little help from Fonua.

Could win it for this month aswell after his stunner last week

did you see clarkes 5 on sky, think kellys was number 3, seriously hoping not in order of best, because hes smoking crack if it is

I dont think interception tries should get Try of the Month. Although it can be a good defensive read, often the pass is not the best, and then the attacker just has to run quickly. My opinion for what it's worth!

I completely agree, I was surprised to see he'd won try of the month!

...not when supporters vote for their own players.

He always goes to a professional club for the first year of his contract, said club usually becomes a whole lot less professional in his 2nd year.

Class yet again last night.
Threatening every time he had the ball, some great passing and a few big tackles for good measure.

Every club he's been to has been a mess on and off field. This is probably his 1st stable club

there were a couple of collective "How the f*** did he do that?" gasps from the crowd last night

He's certainly a talent and I doubt we'd be 2nd in SL this season without him in our team.

He's also nothing like rangi chase temperament wise

Amazing what you can do with a couple of decent halves.

Couple of pieces of magic attributed to him by Radford today. Chuffed for him [uif[/u he's effectively sealed Top 8 for us in first week of June. Looks to be enjoying himself, was certainly smiling as he cruised under the posts.

Seems to be tight with the rest of the squad. Nice to see him and Connor chatting and smiling as they walked round at the end.
Of course this will all come crashing down around us once the second season syndrome kicks in.

From what I've heard he has settled really well at the club.

Without him we'd be far worse off, no desrespect to CT or whomever would have come in so thank god the dobbins got relegated as we certainly wouldn't have got anyone of note or to be as good as kelly given our salary cap situation.

I'm not concerned what he might or might not do in the future, it's what he's doing nnow that counts and if he feels in a better place in a more successful team then there's a greater liklihood he won't have issues with going off the rails in any 'second season syndrome'.

Do you still support your theory of Radfords man-management skills being non-existent?

Would be incredible indeed if Radford were the coach to manage Kelly effectively when so many others haven't managed it.

It would be mind-blowingly incredible.

Exceptional talent, isn't he? Good we were in a position to bring him off early for next week. Contributed generously to our push for top 4 so far.

Said it before, but after last night I'll say it again. Watched FC since 1978 and on that form, he's the best stand off I've seen in B & W.
For a mercurial talent, his game management isn't half bad as well.
