Club confirm that Ali will leave at the end of this season.

Cheers for the service Ali, all the best for the future. Think the timing is right IMO.

I feel a bit emotional.

Great player to watch, anad an all round nice sort of fella as well. Thanks for the memories Ali. There have been plenty of them.

I think the void for a game-breaking forward will need to be filled from somewhere. Players like Ali don't come along very often and he will be very, very tough to replace.

great player and comes accross as a good bloke too, hope he gets a chance in the next two games to fight for a wembley place - at full fitness he has to play

Great player in his time and he has been a joy to watch BUT we have got nowwhere near the best from him over the past couple of seasons with injuries so shouldn't be missed too much.

Fair decision ... BUT all the more incomprehensible now that the club re-signed Webb ....and especially Kirke.

He's already been missed. He was a game-breaker, and we don't have any others. We haven't had any substitute for a fully fit Ali for a couple of years now, since 2007 really.

One of my all time favourite imports at Leeds, but it is the right time to release him.

The impact he had in the 2007 GF was outstanding. Saints simply couldn't handle him. Would be great if he could repeat this form at Wembley against Wigan!

Shame he couldn't maintain his form, but the niggling injuries appeared to take their toll.

I'm feeling this one! What a legend! Ali at his best was just magical! A true rhinos legend!

Farewell Ali, leaving us with some of the fondest memories! Without a doubt one the best ever overseas signings!

Feel very sad over this. He's a gamebreaker and going to be a massive player to replace. Thanks for everything Ali.

Spot on - right decision to let the Big man go as he simply on available enough and when he is his spells are increasingly short - but he like Keith Senior will be greatly missed.

You're obsessed - completely different decisions. (Kirke and Webb are fit 90% of the time)

The greatest overseas player ever to play for this great club. I for one will never forget those amazing and seemingly impossible ofloads he came up with on many a occasion.

Legend

We had a glimpse of his greatness at the beginning of last season when he was sensational for a few games. Fitness and injury have taken their toll - you just can't carry on forever. A truly inspired signing and a pleasure to have watched him in a Leeds shirt.
