Second half master class

Re: The Easter Derby : Sun Apr 21, 2019 5:44 am  

At half time our crowd on the concourse basically agreed that ... although it was a close game , if we started to complete our sets we would win the game.
However, not one of us said “if you bring on Albert Kelly the game will turn on its head, he will inject himself into the game like a force of nature and be a catalyst for a transformation of the whole teams performance and we will blow them away with a record score with 40 minutes of glittering Rugby.”

I have to say, We are so lucky to have him. I feel priveliged he plays for my team. What a player.

Having watched it back I can confirm; Rovers absolutely shat themselves when Kelly came on.


Hilarious how they were falling over each other to tackle him, leaving huge gaps, and still not managing to tackle him

Every game Kelly plays is a bonus for me. He doesn't always hit the mark but in terms of instinct and skill he's the best 6 we've had in my time suppoorting the club. I expect him to leave at the end of the year but my goodness he's provided some incredible moments.

Why is Sheens moaning about been down to 12 men? Does he not realise we were also down to 12 men for the exact same time period.

"with a scoreline like that you can’t talk about a ball that went dead and you should have got a 20-metre restart instead of a scrum near the corner."..... but he still is.

What else can he say after that second half? Facing the truth of that 2nd 40 is unpalatable so layer on some hard luck fan appeasement fairytales and see how it goes.

The important thing is that they lost but they didn't get beat.

Don’t think Kelly will leave can’t see him getting a gig in the NRL not through his lack of talent just they might see him as a risk
