This could be quite a good signing

Re: Albert Kelly : Fri Nov 11, 2016 6:51 pm  

Great news! Just what we need.

Something to really look forward to next season, now that Wembley is off my bucket list.

I'm more concerned about his injuries than his behaviour.
I'm sure his contract is loaded with causes about his off field antics, and it's only 1 year so he will have to impress to earn a new contract. Plus in a team that actually has a chance of winning something he will surely be much more motivated, and to top it off he'll be playing behind a pack that more often than not is on top.

As long as he keeps fit I'm very optimistic about this.

I'm confident that the squad we have has lots of 'leaders' who are model professionals who won't let him step out of line. If we'd brought him in to the squad we had up until a couple of years ago it'd have been a disaster, as he and others would have just mucked about.

I think he'll go really well behind your pack. Could turn out to be a great move

Re: Albert Kelly : Fri Nov 11, 2016 7:53 pm  

My thing with Kelly is in 2015 he was the big fish in a tiny puddle of a club - now he's a minnow in a great ocean, whether he can live up to the pressure is the big ask for me - but anythings better than playing Tuimavave in the halfs

Re: Albert Kelly : Fri Nov 11, 2016 8:46 pm  

Good signing , Just hope stays clear of injuries because he's type of player we need

Re: Albert Kelly : Fri Nov 11, 2016 8:50 pm  

Looks like he has already shed some excess before signing for us.

Re: Albert Kelly : Fri Nov 11, 2016 8:56 pm  

been under our conditioning team for three weeks!

Re: Albert Kelly : Fri Nov 11, 2016 9:05 pm  

Have a feeling he'll go well for us.
Also think we will be good for him as well.

Not had that type of player in our team for a long time. Already looking forward to seeing him in the black and white.
