Good to see our Community Player of the Year continuing his off field contributions of visiting Hull Royal to deliver presents this week and taking part in Danny Houghton's testimonial event at the City Hall in addition to attracting praise from Lee Radford for his energy and effort in pre season training.

What a superb year he has had.

Another year has past (so fast), but it's still good to see the back of Albert Kelly. Badum-tish.

Merry Christmas, one and... no, it is just me and thee now!

Missed this piece by Dave Craven in the Yorkshire Post after the RL Cup SF earlier this year so, if any of you lot did also, here it is : https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/r ... -1-8677866 Albert doesn't usually say a great deal but he has a fair bit to say in this piece...oh, and 50-0 gets a mention too.

Let's hope he's as good in 2018 as he was last season.

I've got a lot of positive memories of that final too.

More From me in @leagueexpress, a piece with Albert Kelly who is brutally honest about his Hull FC future

Bugger, doesn't sound good. Maybe why we've brought Abdull back.

20 pence says it something along the lines of 'Albert Kelly is determined to avoid the second season syndrome that has plagued his career so far, and admits he needs to back-up his strong performances in 2017 if he is to secure a new contract with the Airlie birds.'

Re: Our Albert : Sun Jan 14, 2018 11:42 pm  

Connor/Abdul are the medium / long term half backs for me. Not too shabby.
Just have to enjoy Albert while he's here, however long that is.
Will always be part of the immortals (mark 2).

AP’s latest comments on Kelly:
Welcoming back Albert for the match against Catalans was a timely boost and it is clear the effect he has on our attacking options. We’re hopeful over the coming weeks to tie Albert down to another contract having made him a considerable offer to stay with the club.

He seems happy and settled with us as does his family which we know is very important to him and we hope the enjoyment of life in Hull outweighs the obvious financial gain of a potential return home. He has been an exceptional talent for us so far and we want him to stay for a while longer yet.
