The incident itself may have been a storm in a tea cup but Albert Kelly was filmed calling a female a whore and slut. Now no matter whether the situation was of Albert's doing or whether the woman in question provoked him, for the club to say nothing of the incident makes them look like they condone his behaviour. They could have said, that they don't condone the behaviour and that it has been dealt with but to say nothing is just wrong.

Totally agree.

Hull F.C. were requested by the RFL to investigate the matter . The Australian media reported the incident in their newspapers , as did the British tabloids , however the local newspaper in Hull Haven’t mentioned the incident , the sports editor James Smailes was on Radio Humberside last night and was asked why the Hull Daily Mail haven’t reported on the Kelly incident , he brushed it offf as a “silly incident “.

James Smailes is the sports editor for the Hull Daily Mail and is a Hull FC fan , he was previously the Deputy sports editor and Hull FC reporter . Strange that the Hull Daily Mail will not report on the Kelly verbally abusing a young girl and using threatening behaviour towards her and her male friend .

However when Kelly was at Hull K R and was disciplined for returning to the club late for training after he had been given compassionate leave to return to Australia the Hull Daily Mail ran the story on the matter

Hull F.C. have stated Kelly is available for selection for the Catalans Dragons game and are making no comment on Kelly verbally abusing and threatening that young girl and her male friend , they say the Matter has been resolved internally , which says a lot about the ethics of that club .

Provide a shred of proof that the RFL have been involved.

I think the process of not airing your dirty washing in public is fairly dignified (I appreciate thats a new concept for you) and shows a decent level of integrity from an ethics point of view.

But then again, your own club and ethics??? Now ethics are about as far away from your club as they are winning a trophy.

Totally agree . The club have shamed themselves .
Liam Watts referred to Kelly as “Alibi Albert “. Seems he was right .

For the club to make no statement is despicable and basically condones Kelly’s actions .

My goodness me, you really are that envious of Hull FC aren't you.

Fair play to the Hull Daily Mail for now reporting on the McDonald’s incident, and maintaining a more dignified line than sensationally descriptive news outlets that referred to a ‘drunken tirade’ or ‘foul-mouthed rant’ for no other reason than that’s what it was.

While I think the use of ‘alledgedy’ is arguably redundant in the second sentence, it is clear that Hull FC and Albert Kelly are putting the matter behind them, moving on and that it is business as usual. Questions clearly remain as to whether they are drawing a line under it and looking to the future.

As a Rovers fan it clearly takes a lot to embarrass me. This thread, and more specifically the inputs from ‘fans’ of my club are quite frankly cringeworthy.

Looks like the Reason forgot to delete his name.

A bit late that edit Andy.

You actually emailed the RFL to advise them about the video?
