So we all wondered and thought how de Belin was going to be used, seems not at all. I give credit to Ryles who doesn't much around. No matter how many games, contract status you are not in the 17 if you are not good enough. Kelly seems to be in the same boat. They have missed on recruitment so far this year and that will happen. de Belin and Kelly can still have an impact off the field with juniors however.

Wouldn't give up on Kelly yet. He has some tekkers about him and some pace, can deputise Addo-Carr if JAC goes origin. When Kelly is on form in an attacking side he can be fun. Good option still.
He was only signed for this year with a club option for the second. This is not surprising at all. We needed an old head to help lead the Juniors, he is only here for a year, we needed to spend the unused money in our cap for 2026. Serious nothing story and they just need something in the media this week to help fuel the Sunday game. Go next.
Kelly was slow with system but should be rectified soon jdb will be shaved and greased
I reckon the ruck 6 again nonsense will stop soon. All these nrl crackdowns are short lived. JDB could still prove to be useful. It's a long season.
De Belin and Kelly were both placeholder signings till the next batch are ready. Both are 30 or above. They'll be used this year when needed and the more time they spend with us they'll pickup form.
But if they don't work they don't work. No biggie.
Our young, dynamic forwards are stepping up so far. Tuivati, Doorey and we have Guymer and Moretti. That's more than enough forward options before De Belin.
