Great servant to Leeds, deserved a proper send off too. Really enjoyed his performance in the 2012 GF against Warrington, did a great job covering centre that year too.
His ability to get punched in the face for no apparent reason was second to none.
My personal highlight will be him stroking Myler's leg as he went to feed the scrum when he was at Catlans. Myler lost it completely and Ablett stood with a trademark grin.
Massively under rated and a true unsung hero with the knack of getting under the oppositions skin. Hope he gets a good reception on Friday along with JJB of course. Thanks for your efforts Carl
One of my favourites of the goldens; annoyed opposition fans, and opposition players at times, just by being who he is. Annoyed them more with those tries in the corner in big games though. Happy retirement Carl.
Last if the Goldens now officially gone - end of the era.
I really hope some of those Academy lads are talking and telling each other they’ll be the next ones to come through together and work for that success. It’s the humility and work ethic, team first mentality that really set that generation apart. Supremely talented players but humble and grafting.

We’ve been very very lucky to watch that group of players
