Something lost in translation, perhaps?

thought you was getting back jean? or is it you just a wind up kinda guy,

He didnt look poor in the 2008 Wembley final.Acorrding to his stats he played 29 games in 08 and 24 games in 09 Doesnt sound as though he was injury prone in his last 2 seasons at Saints

Since when have you become an expert on Aussies coming to SL? You thought kr had signed Minichello the other week!

Personally I judge played on more than one game and he you could see in the last couple of seasons he just wasnt the same player, thats why the Saints fans weren't that bothered when he left. Fair point about the games though, thought he missed more games. Still thought he would do Ok for us, but apart from the odd game was a big disappointment, Pryce still has a good running game as his stats show, so I expect him to do well next season, if not we have few players to come in.

Mark Minichiello was signed by Hull FC, not Hull KR.

I watch the NRL regularly and that is why I am an expert on Aussies coming to SL. I regard Mark Minichiello as a god buy for Hull FC. But Albert Kelly is an incomparably better buy for Hull KR because he is a devastating attacking weapon.

We know!!

I know that, I put you right on krs board, so which HB is the organiser at kr? As Kelly & if myler comes in are both supporting pivots, & there is no sign of Beharrel playing as he has been offered a pay off.

I watch it, so am I an expert?

Apparently not! It seems that there is an additional factor other than watching which makes one an expert. I seem to have been blessed with that factor.

But I watch it regularly and extensively and attend the finals series when I can (such as this year).

Why don't you apply for a job in coaching then pal? & are you avoiding the question on who will lead kr around the pitch? Because they've signed the bestest ever support player ever to grace SL, a centre who can fill in if needed, & meant to be sniffing around Myler, who is a support playing HB.

Post of the year.

I'm guessing you haven't come across Jean before EHFCF? He's a regular contributor to the VT.

You make a good point about an organiser and they are few and far between nowadays it seems. We missed Dobson last year, no doubt.
At Cas Finn was the organiser more than Sneyd I believe. Pryce is also more of a runner. It's an issue we share with a few teams.

The OP is a dreary WUM best ignored.

totally agree

Your joking. Dare I say it, more entertaining than Cabman!

There are certainly similarities.

I can see people bookmaking this thread and it making a reappearance at the end of the season.

Absolutley. When we rip the superleague apart his words will become legend.

I actually think he's right

Kelly could turn out to be the best halve in the league along with Carney. He'll be well ahead of his team mates though and probably left scratching his head wondering what he's doing with a bunch average jokers.

Give him a yard of space and there's no catching him. I'm excited to see him play.

You still have to ask why Kelly never got another contract with Gold Coast or why another NRL club never picked him up if he is that good?.

Yes, you have to ask that question. But you need to know how much Albert Kelly is being paid by Hull KR in order to know whether or not he was out of the range of affordability for other NRL clubs. Plus you have to ask which NRL clubs were looking for a scrum half. I suspect that most if not all NRL clubs had that issue sorted when Kelly became available. The most perplexing question is why Gold Coast let him go. That may be because of concern over his injury, but it may not.

Past off the field problems at previous clubs and legs are shot to bits.

cannot see rovers being able to pay more for a player,than an NFL club.
