They had loads of injuries don't you know 
They did score some points though and I think the pack was their problem area more than the backs. |

Must be looking at different stats to me, his attacking stats are good, very high for clean breaks and tackle busts, scores and sets up plenty of try's and that's in a poor side, behind a terrible pack. Every time we have played them in the last two years, he is the only player to worry me, he was excellent in the CP derby.
I don't think talent is a worry and if he stays fit and is motivated will be a great signing. |

Must be looking at different stats then as the ones I saw showed him with only 21 try assists in 2 years. As a comparison, sneyd had 42 and people complain about his try creating ability.
kelly will be comfortably the worst defender we will have though |

Couldn't give a stuff about stats, if Kelly signs he'll be our best half back.

So you have compared one thing try assists? One playing every game for a top side against a bottom club player, you do know those stats don't include middle 8 games, so that's an extra 14 games Sneyd had?
Maybe he doesn't assist as much bra cause he scores so many?
Different type of half to Sneyd, he is a runner and this shows in his stats.
Defence isn't a worry for me, this will improve in a better side with better players, if want a half who can defend, may as well stick with Carlos or put Washy there. |

Always thought his defence was quite good tbh.
I'm sure I have seen him make some decent tackles albeit on TV.

If a Rovers supporter may be so bold as to comment. If you can spring Kelly 40 yards from the line at full tilt then it's try time. Do you have players that can do this? I don't think that you have. Not consistently anyway. Paul Cooke was the last player that you had who could send out passes of this nature. Do you have any forwards that can break the line and then find a killer pass to a supporting Kelly? Possibly Houghton when he scoots from acting half may be able to pick him out. He does go walkabout but sometimes he has a genius about his play that you cannot coach. A very brave player who won't take a step backwards with a good kicking game. Would I sign him? Probably; but I wouldn't want him taking up a large slice of the salary cap.

Always thought he was quite strong in the tackle.
Maybe misses a few, but don't suppose we are getting him in for his defensive qualities.

Must admit I thought the same; doesn't shirk in defence from what I remember, probably did more work than a half should though. |

| Quote ="mean_machine"As a general consensus of opinions on this board both Albert Kelly and Lee Radford got slated. Will be the odd exception but as a whole I am vindicated in saying as such.
Of course he is keen to come, he's currently unemployed.
I hope it works out for him, RL needs more creative players and flashes of brilliance as opposed to drop offs and kicking games. If he could have the right mentality I'd have him above Sneyd. But there is a very slim chance of that. I hope Radford doesn't try and coach it out of him either as I suspect he doesn't have the temperament to control a game, or even play to a game plan.'"
Another classic case of PRSD.

Nope, but nice try, think it was Easthullfc, but think he was talking about your current squad.
If you are doing to try and make someone look silly, do your research or you will look an idiot, which for you It seems to be easy. |

It's a myth about him been a poor defender the thing is if you look at his stats he may have a lot of missed tackles but he probably tackles more than any other half in the league I've always thought him a very strong tackler and probably does to much defending |
