I'd love to get him down to Outlaws

My reply was to 'Super Scotty Donald' who said:



I just wondered where that impression was coming from.

I think Ablett does a decent enough job put he doesn't quite punch his weight for a big fella. I still see him as one of the 'blinkers' in the team.

Perhaps from you?

IMO that summary under rates the lad.

What's a 'blinker'?

Ablett is a very good player. A bit behind the very best backrowers, but a player I wouldn't swap for too many. The same goes for JJB. IMO Leeds really lack a real line-breaking second row - and have for years except when a fit Ali was on the field. Having said that, there simply aren't too many of them about.

It's a term that was used by Alan Smith in the early seventies to seperate the players that had the required intestinal fortitude from those that didn't quite.

Ablett, I sense, is more Ian Kirke than Barrie McDermott.

tvoc, I suspect you have lit the blue touchpaper.,,,,,,
