The Life Of Brian (Kelly)

[Class of 96]

Baz also signed an extension .......

I think that one was in the doctor’s office

 

[Class of 96]

but I am very keen to see young Kelly go up a notch this year .....

I was hoping he would go up a notch next year.

Baz also signed an extension .......

Cute. But there is one disparity, when comparing the two. Baz signed an extension a year back and wanted out in July this year. Kelly signed an apparent upgrade virtually on the same day he wanted out. So unless he signed an upgraded contract conditioned that he be given an immediate release, it all seems a little off key...don't you think.

 

[Bearfax]

Of course these reporters may be all sitting in a room playing a game of 'what if'.I mean I would continuously want to be suggesting crisis scenarios to keep my bosses happy. No one is particularly concerned when it doesn't happen weeks later. They've sold their paper, they've earned their pay for another week. Otherwise their contract with the newspaper and other media may suddenly be up for review. And the best lie is the one you can carry off to the point where everyone starts to believe you're telling the truth. That is in fact the reality of the world in which we live. We all believe the best lies...generation by generation

I said this earlier, but will say it again: from what @Harry Smith described I think Kelly was just getting a new car, brookvale mitsi was anounced this week as a sponser.

Well why sign on for a sponsor's car if you are in the process of a release?

Unless its a 24 hour clock. Then again it might be a sundial on a overcast day.

Kelly wasn’t signing anything official at The Sands last week. Nothing to do with a contract, sponsorship or the club at all mate.

If we put two and two together the paper he was writing on, with the group at the table, which was being collected consistently on the evening by someone else (as @Harry Smith mentioned) also happened to be on Trivia Tuesday.

What? He's requested a release from his contract from Manly to sign up with Trivia Tuesday. I've heard they're a good side, and they always seem to stay ahead of Sheffield Wednesday

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Such is life.

 

[Ryan]

Kelly is a myth. Get over yourselves

He was selected to play for Australia recently, and has also played City/Country, junior SOO, SOO full time emerging squad, Australian junior team, and is still very young, and improving exponentially.

 

[Ryan]

He can’t tackle mate, just my opinion. Hope that’s ok

Mate, I didn't select him in all those rep teams. The professionals who know a million more times than me did, so go for your life.

What do I know?

 

[mozgrame]

To get to the bottom of this...in this Life of Brian thread....you need a decisive, thorough and lighting fast investigation that the person in question doesn't see coming.

Someone more powerful than the PPC......

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!!!

"Bring us this Brian Kelly"

Unfortunately it looks like Kelly is gone. https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/11/05...ve-at-manly-sea-eagles-releasing-brian-kelly/

Disappointing as he was just starting to hit his straps. Good luck at the Titans. Thanks for your time at Manly.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Amen.....oops!

To be honest I think he is surplus to requirements. He is a great attacking centre but our defense is shocking on the edges and Kelly has been a big part of the reason why.

I'm sorry, but this is another Blake Green move. Absolutely ridiculous. Who"s his replacement?

* Brad Parker? (Still needs development)
* Moses Suli? (Terrible in every way)
* Tevita Funa? (No standout in Reggie's)

I just find this move literally dumb. There is not one player besides Walker who's a better centre. Then consider Slow-Mo-Taufua is going to be outside whoever gets the nod, and think of our lack of try scoring on the wing as well.

And what's this, "he got embroiled in the coaching issues". Dumbest thing I have ever heard .

This really pissed me right off. Hope we aren't pinning our hopes on those no names Elliott and Garrick? **** me. I hope Des has a Will Hopoate up his sleeve after this, because this is his first Trent Barrett like mistake.

Losing a second year centre with defensive issues isn't as bad as losing a veteran 5/8 IMO, even if the possible replacements are of dubious quality. Centre we can cover but we never recovered from losing our 5/8 in the pre-season.

All those players that you have question marks on under Des may excel . Kelly may not leave and if he does good luck to him and I am sure Des has plans . Young Hoppa is known to be one of the most exciting prospects .
