Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3265364, member: 9853"] [I][B]Albert Kelly[/B] launches his latest product, an older, wiser, more patient version of his former self:[/I] “My game has really changed over the years – I’ve got a lot more smarts than I had. I was making a lot of errors looking for big plays because that’s what the fans get excited about. In my early years I was more of an erratic, attacking player. I learnt a lot about game management and patience in England, things I wasn’t good at." “To add that to my arsenal and come back and mix it with these young kids has really helped. My attributes can help unlock their confidence which is a big thing for such a young squad. There will be a fresh new Kelly out there.” “I was really enjoying my footy in 2013-14 then I broke my leg and sat out for a few weeks. I didn’t recover quickly and it didn’t feel right when I came back. I had a year left at the Titans and wanted to get my strength back but I felt I was rushing it." “I thought I would go to England later in my career but an option arose and I took it and spent seven years there. I enjoyed it very much at both Hull clubs. I learnt a few more parts to add to my game. But I went over to England too early. I was only 23 and had plenty more to give in the NRL. I didn’t really want to leave." “I’ve always had aspirations to come back and play at the top level here again. I learnt that I had to have patience.” [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen_92405817_rexfeatures_5691678am.jpg"]13071[/ATTACH] [I]Pass the Dutchie[/I] “I had a few injuries last year, I tore my hamstring in the Challenge Cup quarter-final, I took my time recovering and packed on a few kilos in the cold over there. I felt like I was in pretty good shape when I came back but then I did 14 days’ quarantine." “I came to Broncos training and tweaked my other hamstring so Kevvie told me to ease into training, strip a few more kilos and we’ll see what happens. There was a slim chance of playing NRL and I sacrificed a lot of things to get back here and bring my family home." “I had to have patience and do the work, things I wouldn’t have done 10 years ago. The hard work I put in and sacrifices have got me to this point now. I’m glad I took a punt on it.” “I am stoked to even put the Broncos’ training gear on, I pinch myself every morning. To be back playing for a club with such rich history like the Broncos is unreal. I get to speak to legends like Petero, Corey Parker and Alfie at training. I keep wondering if it’s real." “They have given me an opportunity and I will do everything in my power to pay them back. I know I’ve done the hard work – it’s now time to get results. I won’t be anyone else except me out there.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
