In part the history books will say what I put [url=http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=341569&start=225]here 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!
