I've already said i don't we can "replace" him plus we have Beastwood who does a similar job in terms of off-loads,big hits and game-breaking plays.
It's still a big[size=200 IF[/sizewhether he goes or not but players like Pitts and Manning if their development continues will deserve a 1st team chance imo plus the other youngsters like Watkins,Bjb and Mcshane will be looking to have decent contract upgrades when the next negotiations start if they've lived up to their potential.
I want him to stay but if he does decide the time is right to move on we do have the squad to cope and maybe spread his contract money around a bit more.

Ali is irreplaceable.

Ali Lawit ...

Ali Lauitett ...

Ali Lewititti ...

Unspell-able, more like !

If I were Hetherington, I'd go for someone like Louis McCarthy-Housebrick. I mean, jeez, there must be about 18 letters in his name. Almost as many as Ali himself. Just think of all those fans who want to stick that name on the back of their shirts at 50p a letter. Fifty quid for the replica shirt and another tenner just to get the name and number on the back.

Why do you think they wanted rid of Andy Hay as soon as they could ?

I am of the same opinion, not to say someone couldnt come in and do a cracking job, but not in big Ali`s style

Anyone who says we need him because he's a gamebreaker has got to be kidding. When did he last break a game?

We can do better now, he had about 2 good games last year and is too injury prone.

I was thinking more about his feet & his shuffle as he approaches the defensive line.
But now you mention it..

Rather than name calling why don't you offer an alternative argument LFC Rhino?

When did he last break a game?

Don't you get sick of eating goats?

Good Evening Goebbels.

Can you offer anything as to when Ali last broke a game?

The Hull KR playoff game. Beautiful offload to Webb.

That's it is it?

I don't understand. You asked when Ali last broke a game, I'm telling you when that was. I didn't realise I was supposed to provide additional information.

Now you say it no, in fact I can’t remember when he last had any affect on a game at all.

He’s not the same player we signed in 2004, not even a shadow of that player.

No… you’re right… he’s sh[size=100i[/sizet – we shouldn’t wait until the end of the season we should get rid now. In fact I don’t know what the hell Hetherington is doing. I’m going to email him right now with my discontent and ask him why he is wasting good salary cap space with this overpaid, overrated useless has-been.

While we’re at it – that Senior bloke, lazy ba[size=100s[/sizetard – McGuire, kack-handed frigger – Peacock, see more ‘go forward’ in an Italian military offensive, the one with a girls name? Kylie, big useless pudding and that new guy, Eastwood – treacle footed porker.

Fekk it, I’m off to support the Bulls.

Rob. If that's the only time you can remember then why are people claiming he is a game breaker. He has the odd good game now and then but on the whole is past it.

I'm not sure you can count that as breaking a game. It was a hammering.

So, Is that it?

Rovers were leading when Lauitiiti put Webb in to score, and then went on to score 2 tries himself.
I think it counts. So now that you were suprised by the fact that he 'broke' such a recent game are you wanting to know every single time he has done that?
Let me put it this way, its more than most players in most teams have done.
The heat in Dubai must be getting to you.

You obviously didn't watch the game then if you don't think that, that changed the game.

It didn't change the game.

Leeds were always in control.

I like you.

Good thread this?

I'm glad someone does. All I get is abuse.
