Realistic and I'm on the same planet.

Again I'm showed to know a thing or 2. I was calling Ali to get a shift at prop style, just shift it down the middle, as a more effective option than Kirke. Ali just took the ball up and looked dangerous. Big lad, big strides - Who'd have thunk it?

He wasnt down the middle was he? I thought he was running on our left edge....

Still correct that he was trundling it in nicely and making great yards.

I have 2 games against Hull blending into one.

if Ali can keep clear of injury he will be a threat to any team, game time brings match fitness. Looked to want to play yesterday everytime he got the ball looked dangerous

As did Bailey.
Anyone would think their contracts up for renewal
Great performance from both yesterday.

He can't though. Time has caught up with the great man. I don't like to quote Phil Clarke that often unless it's to point out what a c**k he's been but he summed Ali up completly in one sentence a few years ago, "And on the bench Leeds have the unfair advantage, Ali Lauititi". If only GH could look up his sleeve and find another like him.
He was outstanding the first part of last year, possibly our only really dangerous attacking player for the first few weeks of the season, but then got injured and that was that - never fully fit.

EXACTLY .... And expect both to be rewarded so.

It all depends on how much of the cap he would take up. If he's on reduced terms I don't mind another year as a backup/10 games a season type player. If he's on a significant wage then he's not worth it sadly. The man has brought many a smile to my face with his plays and offloads over the years. His finest moment - getting the crowd and team worked up from the scrum in the 2007 GF and then scoring in the corner - brilliant.

I'd re sign him, but it would depend on how much cap space he takes up.. would he be worth it etc. For me when he's fit and firing he gives us a real gamebreaker type player in the pack.. and we've not too many of those.

An oustanding overseas signing in his prime unfortunately that time has passed imo and i would'nt renew his deal.

Been great for us but time to let go to bring in fresh blood

When he plays well, Leeds play well. Its been ever thus since 2004.

Sadly, it's too much of a rarity these days.

One of the greatest overseas imports of the SL era.

He had a good games yesterday, but for me would not be giving him a new contract.

Nor for me. Anyone who still thinks of him as a gamebreaker should dig out a few old dvds of him in his prime and see what a genuine gamebreaker really looks like.
