Lloyd Kelly


Recommended Posts

If he can stay fit until Botman is fit to play again and provide cover at CB and LB when needed, then I think the transfer can be viewed as halfway decent already at that point. Based on his injury record that seems fairly unlikely, but as a free transfer coming into the squad to provide cover and more competition for places behind Burn at left-sided CB and Hall at LB, then I think it's worth a punt.

 

Perhaps the biggest worry is the length of contract. Hopefully his wages are unders or heavily weighted toward play-time so he can either be moved on more easily or doesn't cost us too much if he turns out to be a permacrock. There is potential here that we end up in a player we can't shift if things go badly.

 

Otherwise, it doesn't seem like there's much downside to this signing. Bit of a risk. But the stakes are pretty low so it's one we can hopefully eat if it goes titsup.

On a free this is a no brainer. Good player with good pace (which we don't have loads of in the back 4 currently). A lot better than what most people think imo.

If he gets over his injuries then he'll be a class signing - he's a great defender on his day - just has his own personal bed in the physio room, which is a worry.

The obligatory physio room moment will be a bit awkward.
