Luke Kelly is back. This time as hooker.

We all know that unless we can get some go forward and good service from our dummy-half, we'll be very hard pressed to struggle into the 8.

Peats did it for us, but no more this year.

All we've got to go on is that Kelly was not good enough last year to take the hooking spot away from Matt Keating.

Is there any reason to think that Kelly will be able to save our season?

Keep in mind that he doesn't have to be the equivalent of Peats, just kind of thereabouts.

  • Actually there were a couple of reasons why Kelly didn't replace Keating last season. 

    1. Kelly had some hamstring injuries last year and didn't play the full season.

    2. Sandow spent a large chunk of the season in NSW Cup.

  • If this is the case we are screwed. No top 8 thats for sure with Sefa and Kelly.

  • Does BA really rate Sef or is just trying to keep Hayne happy?

    • Bernie....this is what I have long suspected. Hayne and Sefa seem to be big mates. I honestly believe coaches have persisted with Sefa to placate Hayne. I have said so before on this forum.

  • Ben Roberts surprised and did well in the centres for us.

    If Kelly can do a job, we can get out of this h o l e.

    But judging from his halfback play, he's not exactly dynamic.

    • ... The odd kick into the crowd on the full.
  • The hopes or balls of the season?

  • I guess we'll see if he got heart and willing to put his body on the line a la Nathan Peats.
  • Hopefully Kelly stuns us all like Morgan did at the cows, unlikely though.
  • Haha Everyone has written off Kelly and Parra.

"The writing is on the wall and others have said he has had his 'chances'. I also find it interesting that he is so well liked by many and does a lot for kids etc. this in itself is a bad look besides the fact Ryles gave him a chance following C'bury."
