Forget 2016.......not relevant. Looks back to his best is all that matters right now.

It's rellevant wrt the context of the post it was replying to.

Until he was out with that hip injury he wasnt mentioned ala Sutcliffe Ferres Mcguire or Cuthbertson.
Either way long may it continue.

What....no it isn't!

2016 he was disappointing along with the rest of the club, 2015 and before he's been an unsung hero. Last night he was very good.

I was referring to 2016, really. The term "aging pack' and 'Dad's Army' were constantly being thrown around. Ablett was being described as finished after an injury affected season last year. JJB is still producing good performances at 34, and Cuthbertson looks back to his best. Burrow has been written off for years by many posters on here, he has his short comings, but is still making an impact. McGuire is still vital to Leeds, and was written off after the Cas game despite playing behind a second choice pack. I was agreeing with you that age is irrelevant, performance and contribution is what should matter.

Try reading some of the thread, no comments on his class, more his bad tactics

He was a bit of a thug as a player, but then again he played for Bradford so not really relevant is it?

The Ferres tackle was poor and he'll get a ban no doubt especially with the Sky team highlighting it so much but you see those go without a card most weeks.

Wigan fans are just clearly butt hurt from the stick their team has gotten over the years over their behaviour so blow up any incident out of proportion.

My signature draws attention to Wigan fans and others wishing Mcguires career was over due to injury. That's the bracket it put you in.

2016 - "2015 is the past, it's gone, blah blah..."
2017 - "player x was crap in 2016"

100% correct sir.

Again completely missing the context of the post.
I.e The comments about Ablett were made & aimed during that time period its not hard to grasp if you read the full exchange of posts.

Not really, it's not rocket science Mark. He's had one of two average to poor games this season, for the rest he's been very good to superb.
2016 doesn't count, it's gone.

The actual response was wrt the time-frame/games when those comments about Ablets performances were made which at that time were rellevant within that context.
Just as saying he was superb on friday night is rellevant to that game/time.

For me Albert has been one of our best and most consistent performers this year. Good to see after he looked ordinary for the majority of last year. I don't knee jerk but from the first few games he seemed to be struggling. Loads of tries conceded down his channel and seemed to be lacking any lateral movement. Whether he was carrying a lot of knocks who knows but good to see him back to his best.
