I also think Kelly was engineering an exit before the other lot got relegated. It was rumoured he was offered to us during the close season last year.

If he applies himself he will be a great signing .
Also I think he is mates with Mini so he and the other senior players should keep him in check , hopefully!

Watts came with a similar reputation and has done well.

Was told he failed a drug test at KR on coming back from his compassionate leave and was also rumoured to of been arrested for fighting in town last year too. As good as a player he can be do we really want someone like this is in the team?

A lot of teams have players with baggage, probably even ourselves. Can't all be squeaky clean . Even nrl players . I think it would be a mistake if we don't sign a quality player just because he has a pasted . Got nothing to lose in signing him , if he makes a mistake at hull then get rid .

Or... Ken Sio ....

Would Kelly count on the quota for next season?
Do overseas players from a relegated Club get a 12 month exemption?

According to Wikipedia so definitely true.

Imagine a back line of

Shaul
Sio
Griffin/Carlos
Fonua
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd

To go with out pack.

yes he still counts, dont know why some people believe otherwise, bradford bulls overseas weren't exempt when they went down
