Gold Coast Bulletin – December 23, 2013 Albert Kelly could be forced to undergo career-threatening surgery with a rare form of vein infection in his foot bringing the Gold Coast Titans halfback’s stunning rise to a halt. Kelly, who had a breakout season in 2013, was administered with a series of injections into his left foot in a bid to alleviate the condition which was originally thought to be a stress fracture. The 22-year-old excitement machine has carried the problem throughout the pre-season and underwent the procedure just days before the Titans left for their Christmas break. The problematic vein is close to a crucial nerve in the foot and there is a possibility it could be affected during the operation.

Yes November - February is definitely a killer. Lets skew things a little to the left. How much quicker could Albert Kelly have progressed as player had he been trained under Manly's coaching staff? Granted, when he first made grade he was coached by serial haflback-killer Ricky Stuart, still, that was 2010. 2013 was his best year after being with Cronulla and the Knights previously. If Hasler and Toov's had him he would have been firing by the 2011 season id say
