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

"Albert Kelly's on (insert relevant substance here),

Your daughters are terrified."

First and foremost I dont condone his behaviour but at the same time I (like 99% of others ) are in no position to act like a better person. When alcohol is involved (which he is entitled to do on his downtime) people do act out of the ordinary.

Secondly I dont believe this is everything that has gone on and conveintley it seems the camera only comes on around his response, I dont believe for a second he just started name calling. The fact she works in customer service and has her phone with her tells you enough. Again though he could have reacted way better.

Lastly its not drug related, he wouldnt be that vexed if it was. The club have dealt with it in there way and its in the end of the matter. All players will have acted unprofessional in there career at times and even name called people. Just because its on camera doesnt mean its any worse nor better.

Stupid incident which is nothing more then a drunken spat, he hasnt raped her or assaulted her just called her some unpleasant names. Theres two sides to every story. Everyone get off there high horse.

Steve Mascord has wrote a little piece about the affair.Agree with some of it but descends into NRL is best as per usual.Maybe someone with bit more savvy could post the link?

Hahahaha. Hahahahahaha. Hahahahahaha.

You actually got in touch with the games governing body about this incident.

Hahahahahaha, hahahahahaha

And then leave your name on it. Hahahahahaha

This after being given a massive hint about the pro’s and con’s of cutting and pasting.

I actually feel a little bit sorry for the decent rovers fans who post on here, knowing that you walk amongst them.

At least Kelly was 12 pints in when caught acting like a tool. It appears to be a force of nature for you.

Hahahahahaha,

I think it’s fair to say, by the definition of the word

Where have you plucked this fantasy from?

The response to your desperate email states nothing of the sort

(Asafoetida and honey in a glass of warm water is supposed to aid hysteria, just to let you know.)

McNuggets

I see the holier than thou, moral crusade briggade have found another excuse to remind a load of strangers on the internet about what good people they are compared to the rest of the pond life.....
Drunken person gets into a row and uses some unpleasant words... shock horror... why anyone other than a Hull FC fan (who could be miffed their players are our getring smashed in season - though it is the norm in super league) gives a flying fark is beyond me.
Its a nothing event - some of the responses have been pathetic.

My opinion is that people only care because Albert Kelly is arguably the best player at a club which is going to be pushing for a top 4 place and challenging for silverware.
Nobody cares about the woman who was offended.
Nobody cares about what "damage" it will do to the sport (let's face it, it will do nothing)
Nobody cares about whether it damages Hull FCs name (as this should only be a concern to Hull fans)
The only reason people are making a huge fuss is because they want one of the league's best players to be banned, weakening Hull FC. And the only reason Rovers fans are putting so much time into it is because 1) it's Albert Kelly, and 2) as a points scoring agenda against Hull FC and their fans, 3) deflecting a bit of attention from one of their players who has failed a drugs test.

Only my opinion, of course.

I don’t think he’s saying that the NRL’s approach is better, just that they need to be strong enough to resist the demands of a hungry media machine, whereas SL has to try to do the right thing despite media disinterest.

Agree with much of this. From my perspective, if it had been a less polarising and high profile Hull player, without his history at Rovers and ‘rub their nose in it’ cult status at Hull, the comedy of this drunkeness and lack of professionalism would have been much less. As would the volume of my criticism of the verbal abuse, if not the scale - this as well in part because, knowing it was going to be more low key, I think there’d have been slightly more readiness to more strongly condemn (the ‘i don’t condone’ thing is very obvious when it’s somebody else, but I assume I do it too) from Hull fans.

I think the HDM’s lack of coverage, and Hull FC’s lack of a public statement were surprising and probably have increased the heat a little. However, thinking about it again, it is very difficult to apologise and acknowledge fault nowadays because those statements have become so stereotyped - I was pre-emptively taking the pee early in this thread.

I thought it was against AUP to refer to a user by their real name?

Hull and Albert Kelly are just the "flavour" of the week. I find that each club takes it in turns being in the spotlight here. Leeds next!
