Quote: cheekydiddles "i'm sure we were all stunned at the news leaking out Friday that Ali was not going to be playing.

I had assumed it was because of yet another set back with his leg/knee injury but then was stunned again to see him runnning around with the lads in the warm up having had it confirmed by the press that he was not playing.

I'm not sure we will ever know what Bluey's reasoning behind this was but seemed very baffling to me and i'm sure several others.

Leaving a massive attacking threat like Ali out who seemed to have proved his fitness (at last) over the last 2/3 games. Surely a game like that and the open spaces of Wembley were a marriage made in heaven for him?

As things turned out it was probably a bridge too far anyway but at 14-0 down the game was set up and crying out for some Ali magic.

Ali COULD have added the spark we needed and IMO was a much better option on the bench than Ablett. Ablett is a workaholic starter (who often doesn't know when to pass by the way......another certain try bombed yesterday in the second half when he cut back inside in their 20) not someone who is going to make an impact off the bench.'"

What he's had he's taken backwards, in terms of SL finishing positions.

That would be the concern although it's not forced to be replicated at a club able to spend close to the cap which I imagine is a luxury he's not enjoyed in the big smoke. Either way Leeds' next coach will have a tougher job on his hands than the previous two.

I'm inclined to agree mate they will have the added pressure of following 2 championship winning coaches and that's before they have to see the club through it's "transitional" phase.

Quote: Juan Cornetto "If fit Ali should have played but he is a risk now. However even had he played it would not have made enough the difference. Too many players had an off day. Nothing went right even the Wires crowd made more noise. The Leeds fans were subdued even before the game. No "Marching on Together" etc'"


Agreed Ali should have played. At last we've realised that's the song for a different club entirely...
