Just thought that Ali deserved a mention for yesterday. When he came back on for the second half he could hardly walk never mind play. Hope he's ok and thanks for the memories Ali. That break yesterday was a beaut.

I'll second that one! Ali has given his all for the club - he certainly didn't come for a ride did he.
I bet a few years ago he would have scored from that break yesterday!

Both my Young lads said they're going to miss watching him play...they're not the only ones.

Fantastic player.

I could see the disappointment on his face when the field opened up in front of him - an old bloke doesn't want to have to run like that!

Hasnt he made 200 appearences in super league ? or is he not retiring afterall?

196 app for Leeds and 79 for Wakefield...

255 Super league appearances.

94 for us.

That's according to the official SL website anyway.

He's apparently having a re-think about retirement hence he wasn't included. He himself never announced anything, Brian Smith did in a press conference. Personally i think it's time for the big guy to hang the boots up but i think he doesn't have a year left on his contract so maybe that is on his mind?
