Albert Kelly signs with Sharks

[spiderdan]

interestingly, Seymour has today been given the arse by the Sharks ... coincidence?

i was thinking the same thing. signing kelly as well as the form so far of porter may have made them think this last thing was seymour's last chance.

 

[Pazza]

maybe we should offer him a contract?

 

[fish eel]

pass.

From Rothfields anti-Sticky blog today.

Albert Kelly just wasn’t ready and they tell me he’s now having all sorts of discipline problems and will probably be released.

sad, but not entirely unexpected!

 

[Stagger eel]

wow...

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Hummm.

I remember having a conversation with a Parramatta acquaintance as we lined up for tickets at Newcastle's Energy Australia Stadium,

I was asked who I thought we would be recruiting (before the run and before we got Poore and Shackleton).

Any rate I said I would Pass on Albert Kelly, then another punter in the line, piped up and said, "Your Kidding, Albert Kelly is a future superstar!"
I said, "Maybe, but he is going to take a while to get there, and he has to want to do it first".

Ricky Stuart releasing a half. Who would have thought.

Or mismanaging one more to the point.

Sounds like another in a long line of promising juniors that the club cleverly refused to get into bidding wars over, subsequently released, caused uproar on these forums with mass season ticket burning ceremonies, only for said promising junior to not really live up to promise and ultimately end up not coming back to bite us on the bum after all.

Lesson to all: calm the f**k down next time...

In our current side i have no doubt Kelly> Mortimer at half.

Kid has a better kicking,passing game & loads more vision. Mortz has better defence and is tougher.

Wouldn't mind seeing Kelly again.

NO.

100x better then bloody Tim Smith.

 

[Daneel]

100x better then bloody Tim Smith.

From what ive heard of kelly he could be a 100 times better than a lot of players. However there must be some reason stuart picks smith at half over kelly. It may not be down to ability but there is some reason for sure.

:shock: What a thing to say....

Lol...people bag Morts for talking to the media, I'd LOVE to see how they'd respond to a bloke who blows off school, skips out on training and can't be contacted for days at a time because he's "homesick" for his relatives (who live in faraway Redfern BTW), thinks everyone should just pander to his whims because he's Albert f**king Kelly and chucks tantrums when they don't....

I think the general point I'm trying to get across here is "Hahahaha....no thanks".

I think Albert Kelly thinks he's more of a superstar than he actually is.

Glad we didn't pay overs to keep him, don't think there'll be much disappointment that he was ones of the one that "got away".

i agree he might wake up to himself and come good in the future i suspect thats 2 or 3 clubs away though

Maybe if the Broncos took him and let Greg Inglis get him under his attention, Kelly may develop the potential that he obviously has.
It is a shame when kids who 'have it' do not get the opportunity to go on with it.
Albert is a boy from the bush, who needs guidance and example from someone who he is close to and respects.
