Kelly was charged on Thursday the 6th February, at a tribunal for Championship and Reserve grades.
If the hearing was after the derby, then why didn’t he play?
He would have be eligible. Not picked again?

…. because the derby was on Friday 7th February, after the hearing by my reckoning.
So not "not picked again".

so he wasn't suspended or not picked? that doesn't make sense...?

sounds to me like someone at the club has dropped a bollock not knowing the rules.
had Radford been informed then its quite possible kelly would have been on the bench for the HKR game.

That’s what I thought when he answered me ?
His response doesn’t make sense !?

It's a blumin good job we beat Rovers, otherwise there would be being a witch hunt. Whatever happened, I hope lessons have been learnt.

I don't see how that can be the case. As per the operational rules the ban is effective from the day of the hearing. If he is indeed still banned, it has to be because of the reserves stuff that was mentioned previously on the thread.

There still hasn't been any mention of any of this from the club yet.

Surely hes either banned for any games so the rovers one would be included or hes only banned for reserve games so why cant he play first team? Ridiculous from the rfl as ever.

I cant see how the rovers game cant be included. If he was available to play that game then surely hes available for any first grade game?

It's your original post that doesn't make sense (wrong is more accurate), the hearing was NOT after the derby.

SOL missing for Wigan, but his replacement Smithies is one hell of a player, Yorkshire lad as well. I hope the confusion over Albert is resolved in our favour, but it looks like he’s out for this game.

Smithies would have played anyway wouldn't he?

He’s been coming on after SOL first stint usually. He likely do the full 80 now.

Widnes player Kenny Baker was suspended for 1 match by the revue panel on the same day (6th Feb) as Kelly, but played the following weekend (9th Feb) and then missed the game on the 16th Feb due to suspension.

For anyone heading over on Sunday, Wigan have a new [url=https://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2020-02-19-fan-zone-hull-fcFanzone[/url this year at Robin Park Arena. Open to home & away fans, just need to present your match ticket.

Probably too embarrassed knowing someone has made an error not knowing the rules.
Not a good situation if you want to play first team players in the reserves

Expect a significa....oh, hang on.

We spend money, but the club is amateur in the extreme.

What error was made that could have been avoided?

I'd blame it on Radford.

I could be wrong but I think that at academy level the rule has always been that a suspension starts a week after your hearing. It's going to be a real grey area at Reserve level though. Surprised that whoever administrates this area for Hull wasn't aware. Seems Widnes were.

As an aside, Kelly was lucky to escape with 2 matches in the first place but I think that Radders was totally correct in saying that these incidents will occur when powerful athletes are playing against kids. It wasn't deliberate. Some kids will get toughened up this year, some will get hurt!

Not so sure they weren't.....

Cheers mate, we will be there, sampling some of that Lancashire bitter

and I’ve heard your pies are good as well.

Reading that it looks like you are right, and they were aware. Kelly just not selected for the Derby.

The error of not telling the fans, you know, the people tat pay their wages, what has gone on.

No it doesnt
its says Kelly not selected because of suspension when in fact he was available.
As i said i am not certain Radford know about that as i cant see him preferring Johnstone on the bench if Kelly was available
club cock up
