Stuart Kelly game (Round 20) at ANZ Stadium Eels vs Tigers get out there to show your support

Posted by Mudskip on July 9, 2017 at 9:06pm

Just watched the interview on 60 minutes with the Kelly family regarding the tragic situation they have gone through losing their two sons, first Thomas in 2012 from a coward punch in Sydney's Kings Cross then his younger brother Stuart in 2016 as a result of suicide. The parents have gone through hell, i'm a tough bugger but was reduced to tears as a result of this interview. The NRL is putting on a tribute to metal health awareness match featuring the Eels and Tigers at ANZ Stadium 2 weeks from now (Round 20) 

The message is SK - Stay Kind (also Stuart Kelly's initials) Stuart was a massive Eels supporter and his father Ralph a Tigers supporter, however on that day the family will be throwing their support behind the Eels in honour of Stuart. 

Get out there and show your support.

    Same here....I'll be there. Sad and how do the family get through it? Tough and we hope this can help in some small way. Nice post Mud.
    This will be my last game for a month...off to UK for a month for some leave, and travel, and hope to come back to a top 4-6 spot.
