I will bet my house he comes back for wakey and tears us to shreds

So many great memories of Ali over the years............certainly on his day one of the best to wear the shirt









Ali

Good luck to him he's been fantastic for us.

when the history books are written about this era Ali will figure prominently

I'm on it!

Anyone want to suggest any dates?

Hope he comes to Wakey..and with his CC winners medal!!

Can't dispute most of what has been said here, Ali has been the best of the modern imports but not at his best over the past couple of years.
As much as I like Kirke I would have to take a fit Ali as second row cum prop and despite the injuries and declining fitness he can still produce the magic and his presence on the pitch not only lifts the crowd but also seems to lift the team.
As somebody else has said, we weren't going to go to that match until we found out it was his debut - glad we did.
Best memory has to be the 5 tries at Wakefield after coming on as sub - something the superleague records page didn't show for ages (think they got fed-up of me pestering them).

Thanks Ali & good luck wherever you end up.

Ali has been a fantastic servant to our club since his debut back in 2004

When Ali was fully fit, he was almost impossible to defend against,I will always remember Ali for playing the game how it should be played, in that he could always do the "off the cuff" style of footie rather than being just another stereotypical overseas back rower that can do the stats proud.

Ali also always played the game with a smile on his face,

Respect

Personal favourite memory was when wellens made him look like usain bolt at kr 2005 playoffs.

its been an absolute pleasure to watch him over the years. good luck to the big man.
cala, text me when you sort an evening out

If we're sharing favourite memories I have two.

His try in the 2007 GF, and the determined nature of the run, swung the momentum firmly our way.

It was a mundane game but he gave Calderwood a pass for a try in the right corner of the North Stand/Western Terrace against Widnes in 2005. I've never seen a RL player make a pass like that.

Ihope to be home for a home game in september and I know the southstand will give him a rousing goodbye
