Dont forget Blake Green.

And good luck on winning a Grand Final. I look forward to meeting Harold Holt too.

This is the worst decision that Kelly could of made. Anywhere but the Sharks. He would have more of a chance becoming a better halfback playing for Brisbane where he would probably never see first grade.

No halfback under Ricky Stuart has gone on to do great things while under Stuart. The best was Wing when he won a premiership at half with the Chooks.

Ricky Stuart will destroy Albert Kelly like he did Brett Firman, Jamie Soward, Josh Lewis, Brett Finch, Brett Kimmorley, Blake Green, Brett Seymore, Craig Wing, Joe Williams, Anthony Watts. Lucky some of them were able to fight their way back and secure a first grade spot, but only when they weren't coached by Ricky.

Ricky Stuart will not give Albert Kelly the time he needs to develop as apart of the team. Just like he never gave anyone else the time. And the players that he did give the time to adjust, he would try and change their game and just ruin them. Brett Kimmorly best example.

Good luck Albert, you are going to need it.

I can't believe how bitter you all are at losing a guy who hasn't even played First Grade yet...

Yes, he's talented. So is Kris Keating. And I, for one, am stoked we still have KK in our squad.

I also question Kellys reason for going to the sharks, with Porter, Barrett signned up, plus Morris coming and ferguson looking good at fullback where does this kid play. They must remember Seymore and Green are also in the wings and will challange Kelly for a spot.

The only reason Kelly would have gone to the sharks is money, I just cant fathom any other reason, he could have chosen Tigers (Benji and Farrah), or Storm (Smith, Cronk and Slater) with better roster and who have good coaches (well Shenes is the Aus coach) or he could have stayed with Parramatta and had less compation with probably a better squad.

Money is the deciding factor I have no doubt.

Im not upset he is leaving, im just upset at who he is going to. This kid has great talent, I saw a bit when he played for NSW on Wednesday, but now we may never see him at his full potential because of the moron coach at Cronulla. Seeing as this kid needs guidnence, apparently, off field to, Cronulla is an even worse decision.

Of course it is.

But had he stayed, where would he play?

Fullback? Jarryd Hayne is a freak and if the NSW selectors had eyes (and if Bellamy wanted it) he'd be NSW's number 1, hands down.

Five-eighth? What has he done to warrant selection ahead of KK? Mortimer...It's a toss of the coin I suppose.

Halfback? See KK. Same with Mortimer.

Centre? Inu, Reddy, Uaisele, Tautai and even Filiga would all be ahead of him.

Leaving Parramatta was probably the best decision for him at this stage when you look at it that way.

Im not upset he is leaving, im just upset at who he is going to.

He's Cronulla's problem now - who cares? There will be another kid that will come through our ranks soon enough who we'll all be able to drool over anyway - Ando is no fool and he's putting a lot of effort into Junior development, as per the article.

Besides, if Kelly leaves, it means we have a vacant spot to nab Thurston. :p

Why would you go to the Sharks so you can be coached by the biggest havles killer in the comp???? Good luck to him but i don't think he made a very wise career move.

Seymour?
Porter isnt going too badly either.
The lure of playing in a side that has youth in the backs and hard nuts up front was a bog factor too.
Look who we have, Stapo, Fergo, Wright, Porter and his NSW halves partner?
Townsend?

Geez you are over rating this Porter guy. He has 2 or 3 good games and you bust a nut over him. Karl Filiga ring a bell?

Stapleton, Fergusen and Write? come on. Who goes "awww, that club has alot of young inexperienced players, that looks like a good place to go. Maybe I can win a Premiership with them, they seem so succesful already."

Well im not saying Porter is the saviour but you guys wanted him and he has played a hand in us winning 4/5 games/

You wouldn't think that maybe he could strike up a combination with players that he could play with for years to come?

Not with Ricky Stuart as coach. Ricky Stuart wont give him enough time to gell with the rest of the team.

Oh and we wanted Porter because he is a better 3rd choice half then Robson. Apparently.
