Some fans do my head in, no amount of conditioning or whatever will prevent ligaments or broken bones, you can argue the same with Hammys. It was all JD's fault last year, even though we always were fitter at the end of the season, when it mattered. Now it is still conditioning's fault.. get a grip. Every team is suffering. I'd rather players were given sufficient time to recover than being rushed back (players are their own worse enemy!). Do we want to see Wardy back too early and he suffers a re-injury, or Konnie??

Sad news that for Carl. Let's hope it gets sorted for his long term health. Been a really good servant for Leeds.

Wasn't he planning to move to Aus before Kev convinced him not to retire? I'd imagine that move maybe back on if he can't play anymore.

I thought part of his move was to play semi pro when he got to Aus.

Good luck to him - he has made a huge contribution to the success of the club during the glory years

Very sad way to end if this news about Carl Ablett is correct, made some big contributions in some big games, particularly when he played at centre after senior retired.
Don't know him personally but a mate of mine who i only see couple of times a year does, understand he has been training as a plumber for some time, last winter he stayed in aus with Joel moon and his family. Moon family business is in building trade.

If he is heading down under wish him and family all the best

Ablett has been a great player over the years & imo very under-rated especially at centre.
Its never nice to be forced into retirement but the signs have been there for 18mths his body just wasnt up to it.
Good luck down under if he is to re-visit that option.
