leaving leeds end of the year?
hes a great player,
not sure he would fit into the side but i dunno, mayb id make a space for that offload,

He was a great player 2-3 years ago. If he was still a great player would Leeds be willing to let him walk away? He looks out of shape to me and it's not like we're short of quality second rowers, even with Hoffman leaving. Louis Anderson would be a better freebie pick-up but even he'd still be an unnecessary luxury looking at what we've already got and the needs we may have elsewhere

We have plenty 2nd rowers not a shortage. Ali is now pretty poor and Leeds fans are not bothered one bit about him leaving.
Doesn't seem a Shaun Wane kind of forward to me!

Ali seems to be nailed on for Wakefield. About his level now. Leeds have certainly had his best years, he is still capable of turning it on now and again but the consistancy has gone.

I'd like a prop and a half back, preferably one with a good kicking game.

Ali Lautiti, I wouldn't want him if he played for free.

I agree

However he was a class act a few years ago. A big classy forward who could turn a game on its head single handed.

Hasn't done anything for over two seasons. Isn't he off to rugby union though?

You never knew quite what you'd get with him though did you?

Every time I've seen him, he's either been brilliant or dreadful. Nothing inbetween.

He occasionally did good things against us, but I don't think he ever lived up to his billing of "the Michael Jordan of Rugby League".
