Damn right. Hickory smoked at worst.

"Salted". What a tool.

It would be fair if the term inconsistent made its way into what's said.

Great player at making something happen out of nothing with the ball in his massive hand. On his day 1 of a kind.

Very harsh imo,he lacks form at times like any other player(except peacock) but inconsistent isn't a term i'd use!

In part the history books will say what I put rlhere in the fourth post down.

A bit dry these history books.

Congratulations to Ali for making his own little piece of Leeds SL Era history last night.

He will be remembered as a special player with a huge amount of talent. I was lucky enough to be at Wakfield when he scored 6 tries in the game, unstoppable that day.

I once had the privilege of awarding the big guy a ‘player of the month’ award a couple of years back – one of the nicest blokes you could meet (also has the biggest hands of anyone I have ever shook hands with)

On his day, he's one of the best players in either code anywhere in the world.

His try versus Wigan/St Helens i think when he kept in touch from the corner flag, held the ball with one hand and touched it down

He's outstanding. Feared throughout the league.

Pure X factor

No such team exists young man, although it'd make for a great merged franchise if it did.

It was V Wigan in the South Stand/West Stand corner (if that exists.)

I think Ali will go down as a Leeds legend. He has his ups & downs but he does things with the ball in his hands that no one else can do. I'm so glad we picked him up when we did.
The ups more than make up for the downs, someone who always looks likely to conjure something up out of nothing.
Yet again he was very good again last night.
I feel privileged to be able to watch him & Senior creating havoc down our left hand side.

Yep, we've seen some of that recently, when Ali sweeps out left you just know something is going to happen. Takes me back to 2004 with Ali & Keef and Marcus Bai Bai on their outside. Unstoppable!

He should go down as a star. His stats. back that up withy 3 GF wins (and counting), 2 WCC wins, twice in SL dream team, most tries in a SL match by a forward, most SL apps. by an overseas player for Leeds. He was instrumental in us getting to the GF in 2004 and 2007 and his try in 2007 really turned tha game. He was great for us that day. I also remember how immense he was for us against Melbourne - no offloading, just good strong running and tackling and saved a try by reading a dangerous kick through right in front of me. He should have got MOTM that day. There was the 5 tries v Wakefield in 2007 (which I didn't see) but the following week we put 70 on Wigan and he carved them up. How about his 80m try at Saints in the play offs? Obviously his skills are what he is known for but he is a better defender, better ball runner and metre-maker than he is given credit for. I agree that other teams must worry about him and he seems to be good for team spirit/morale too. I love watching him play.

He must be one of the hardest placers to defend against.When he's in top form he's a joy to watch.
Who'd have thought when he first signed for Leeds he would reach a 150 appearances
He will go down as a Leeds great.

Slightly moving off topic one of my memories of Ali was when he was playing pictionary with G1 at Barrie Macs bar sport's night
