Quote ="Dave K."Like what, the Kelly incident, but was that really news worthy? Did other papers report that story or are we just picking on the HDM?
I've seen plenty of stories about drink driving etc for Hull players.
Also reporting that Westerman and Hadley might sign for other clubs, isn't that the same as Sheens.
It's fairly obvious that the Sheens one was more than a unsubstantiated rumour, Smailes had a very good source, you should be worried about who leaked the story.'"
Smailes' source on Sheens was what Aaron Bower reported. He had no source other than someone else story yet he still reported it. With regards to the Kelly incident, the YP reported on it along with some of the Aus media but Smailes didn't because he said there was nothing to report. To me that sounds a bit hypocritical. He reported on something he couldn't find evidence for but wont on something where the evidence was in the public domain. I've no problem with him not reporting on the Kelly incident but he should apply the same rules to both clubs.
