Campese is with the Italy squad playing world cup qualifiers so when has your mate seen him?

Thought Campese and rest of KR squad weren't talking to Kelly? Wondered when all the rumours would start

If he is using the club to lever a better deal after they are letting him train and help with his "rehabilitation" just say "bye bye best wishes for the future Albie".

I'm sure we have other options we are looking at - and not going to get held to ransom by someone who is damaged goods.

I think outside of any contract restraints the advantage for Kelly signing for Hull FC is that he is already living here and his close friend is Maurice Blair.

Think it's all part of a jigsaw that will hopefully soon fall into place.
Pritchard released
Abdul to Dobbins
Kelly to FC

Maybe all parts being finalised before it's all announced.

.....and close to Garbutts (just being facetious). If he behaves himself he would be a hell of a signing Hope it happens as the rewards outweigh the risks.

That sounds good to me but where does Michaels fit in with this? if he goes I'd rather give Naughton a chance on the wing and use the quota place to bring in a forward. There must be plenty of cap left even if Kelly signs.

Seems very quiet on that front.
Thought it was close to being done weeks ago.
Must be looking at other players for it not to be announced?

Maybe just waiting to see what cap space is left.
