Supposedly he played yesterday after already receiving news of something. Wish him well and hope the club give him all the support he needs at this time.

dont think we will go well at all. All our attacking spark has come from Kelly and his defence has been very strong.
I think both Salford and Leeds will turn us over

we did ok without Kelly last year.

We really did.

He'll be back for Leeds and as far as compassionate leave is concerned the circumstances were just about as bad as they can be. He could have gone on Saturday but decided to stay and play on before flying off straight after the game.

Pretty lame and unnecessary topic title.

It's unfortunate to be missing Kelly on Friday but family comes first, especially when they are 12,000 miles away.

We have a recent history of doing the right thing by the players (releasing Manu and Pritchard), and long may it continue.
The goodwill hopefully stands the club in good stead with the players.
Some things transcend the importance of rugby, so all the best to him.

Here here,

Thoughts are with Albert at this time, He should have our full support at this time.

I'd rather we lost a game that tried to stop a player going home when circumstances dictate. It's only a game, after all.......

We tried to stop him did we, haven't read that anyway.
