It is hard to fathom, but Hull KR have completely outdone Hull FC with their recent signings of ace winger Kenneth Sio from Parramatta, and especially scrum half Albert Kelly and his close mate stand off/centre Maurice Blair from the Gold Coast Titans. Kelly is one of the most talented halves in the NRL. He is behind only Catalans' acquisition of Todd Carney as one of the most exciting signings in years for northern hemisphere rugby league. When you add former London speedster Kieron Dixon, and former Newcastle goal kicking wizard full back/winger Joshua Mantellato to the new Hull KR mix, it appears that Hull KR will have one of the best back lines in Super League.

My concern is that Hull FC has been caught napping, and that the smaller east Hull club is going to be the dominant locus of Super League success in the great city of Hull.

Why did Hull FC management let this happen?

Haha. Who is this guy?

Oh your in for it now Jean! Though I'm sure it will be locked pretty sharpish.

Albert Hastings Perceval Kelly is an indigenous Australian, as is Maurice "Bobby" Blair. Kelly has great footwork, and ranks with Shaun Johnson and Mitchell Pearce as one of the three fastest scrum halves in the entire NRL. Kelly is also known in the NRL as The Intercept King. He is going to devastate opposition defences.

I'm happy with our halves.
I'm very happy with our wingers.

You've just wasted your time typing all that because nobody will take it seriously.

Why?

I agree Jean. Wuvvers will win,everything. Best back line best coach best ground etc. Funny funny funny. I will have same happy juice ur drinking

Both of these super halves are untried at SL level (and one of thems not even a half), some make it and some don't over here. As for Sio, Montellato, Dixon - are you having a laugh?

Before his late season injury, Kenneth Sio was one of the top three try scorers in the NRL.

Albert Kelly is a sensational talent. Look up his try scoring feats on You Tube and you will be amazed.

Kieron Dixon is an extremely fast winger with good footwork. Dixon and Sio will run in a lot of tries for Hull KR.

He's a very poor imitation of Bruce Forsyth!

Is there a record of anything he says being taken seriously?

If you are happy with Leon Pryce then you are likely to be deeply disappointed very early in the season. Leon Pryce is a lazy, poorly motivated, squanderer of club resources at whichever club he has played for.

Marc Sneyd is a moderately talented scrum half, but no sensation.

Albert Kelly will literally run rings around Marc Sneyd.

Sounds like you've been over doing the celebrations after France's win in Dublin last night. Oh... hang on a minute.

Jordan Rankin isn't. Likewise Jordan Abdull and HTW.
Should Pryce not look good enough we have plenty waiting in the wings.
Who will fill in for Rovers when Kelly is sat injured?

The OP is an idiot and has been shown up countless times on the VT and other forums. You would have to be a bigger idiot to take anything he posts seriously

He's good at copy and paste tho is our Jean

Pryce has won more medals then the entire kr squad has put together, he has bags of experience & our young lads will just get better with him around.

like catalans did this season?

Leon Pryce was sacked by Catalans in the latter stage of the season. Such was his commitment to giving his all to the club that was paying him.

We're was he in Catalans try assist charts upto that point Jean ?

Same as Sean Long and we didnt actually set the world on fire while he was here.

I will check on that and get back to you.

So do we class all our future signings on Longy's career at FC? Plus the club is more orientated towards youth development hell of a lot more then in it was in 2010.

He was your top try assist er at that time. The top off loader in the league n statistically in the top 4 half backs in the league. I remember looking at the time as was having a debate/banter with a rovers pal n was actually suprised by how much his stats p#### all over Travis burns n he was concidering to be having a good season

Difference was, Long was poor in his last couple of seasons at Saints and injury prone, while Pryce was in good form and has an excellent fitness record.

Who cares who Rovers sign, Pryce and Sneyd are a massive upgrade on Horne and Miller.

Lets be honest if Rovers signings are any good, they will sell them as soon as an offer comes in.
