good strong back rower who goes under the radar more often than not, as most good second rowers do..

Quote: ROBINSON "I like him. Tackles all day, doesnt make too many mistakes and can be a house. That's what you want your second rowers to do, isn't it?'"


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.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg

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) icon_biggrin.gif

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 icon_biggrin.gif
