Very good going forward, not so at the back. However, he was given plenty to do by the poor Hull pack getting rolled over time after time so a bit unfair to single him out.

Was it a substitution or a score that was announced as Huddersfield yesterday ? We were laughing so much I have forgotten what had just happened .

Not as funny as Longy referring to Hull as Saints

You are Leroy Rivett and i claim my ferrari.

Agreed. Ablett has won me round. Not sure about Kirke. He has all the physical atributes to be the natural successor to JP, but most of the time Rob Burrow hits the defensive line harder than he does. I wish he could generate some controlled agression into his play. He could be awsome.

What Ablett also adds to the 17 is his versatility - he can play second-row, loose forward (should Sinfield be required to move into the halves), stand off and centre. He's an example of the modern day multi-skilled rugby league forward just as comfortable in a creative role as he is in a head-down, backside up drive it in one.
