Controversial Cronulla prop Andrew Fifita has been scorned by NRL great Mark Geyer for disrespecting the family of coward punch victim Thomas Kelly.
Geyer took exception to Fifita’s public support for Kelly’s killer Kieran Loveridge by wearing strapping across his wrist with the letters “F.K.L” which is believed to stand for either “Free Kieran Loveridge” or “For Kieran Loveridge”.

Kelly was killed four years ago.
To make an unfathomable situation even worse for the Kelly family, their youngest son, Stuart, committed suicide earlier this year.
Loveridge is currently serving a 10-year sentence for his crime with Fifita believed to have visted his mate in prison.
Speaking on Triple M’s The Grill Team on Friday morning, hosts Geyer and Matty Johns were critical of Fifita.
“It’s not good … I had a couple of mates who went to jail and I went to visit them. I didn’t stick it in the family’s (face)” Geyer said.
“You don’t stick it in the family’s face, Thomas Kelly’s family or for that matter any other family who’s been a victim of a coward punch.
“Every week going F.K.L — come on man. A young bloke’s passed away.

“I don’t care if you visit your mate in jail, that’s your prerogative as a mate, but please don’t stick it in the family who’s lost a son’s face.”
Johns pleaded with the Shire club to take Fifita aside and have a word with him.
“It’s just in bad taste. The nature of the crime, and the hurt that family’s gone through, and even again recently, someone should just bump Andrew and say, ‘We know he’s your mate, we understand you want to support him, but come on’,” Johns said.
This is just the latest in a long list of off-field controversies surrounding Fifita.
The 27-year-old recently received a warning from NSW Police for consorting with criminals and was subsequently spoken to by the NRL.
Fifita was also suspended for six matches and fined $30,000 last year for abusing a referee at a junior rugby league match.
