agreed, this thread, in my opinion was the result of being torched on the leeds board, and rightly so. It's like loosing an argument at school, then saying, right......i'm going getting my friends to back me up. Not very constructive posts on the leeds board, which, i feel, is leading to the contempt being felt on these forums at the moment. just my opinion

Works for me. He's a decent ball-carrier too, makes quite a lot of breaks.

His tackle stats have suffered a bit from being part of our raggedy-d defence this year (which results in everybody making tackles from slightly out of position) but generally is a very solid defender.

His biggest weakness is that he can, occasionally, be too much of a house, and give silly penalties away. Probably less so this year than previously though.

He's about 20 but looks 50 that guy did have an up hill paper round

He's a good British player, from what I've seen he's consistent and works hard. With the celery cap as it is Ablett is the type of player you wish you had 5 of imo.

I read in a program (I think) his nickname was 40-20. (Looks 40, aged 20)

Solid player, versatile - has played SR, centre, loose and stand off. Works hard, often does the full 80 mins. Defends well, can break a tackle. Has got a try or two in him, won't lose you a game and may well win one for you. Biggest problem for mine is lack of pace in attack (contrast that with J Tomkins at Wembley), and can get caught flat footed occasionally in defence.

Oh, and he doesn't poop himself when faced by Warrington props
