your replacement for danny orr

Wow, you know who is going to be signed so long before we can even talk to players? Are you him? No? Surely then you're his coach? No? Surely then you're his agent? No? Oh, right then surely you're a member of his immediate family? No? Surely then you're a member of the Castleford board of directors? No? Well maybe you're just a member?

Wow no need for the sarcasm, he's spot on. Ellis has been told he is to be released at the end of the season and Cas have snapped him up.

Thanks pal, i wonder sometimes why i bother on here, and as you said ta again

If so is he any good? How old is he?

Sorry, I'd not had the best day yesterday (rugby aside), we get so many people on here telling us who we have signed or who has signed our best players. 99.9% of it is BS. I assumed this was more of the same! Appologies again (if it is indeed true).

If true, how do Hull fans rate him?
I remember hearing big things about him but haven't seen anything really from Hull fans

Honestly looks pretty average, can kick well at times, but the rest of his game needs a lot of improvement to make a decent SL player. However the same could have been said about Brough when he was at Hull.

If he is pretty average, he will fit in quite well! Basil got a lot out of him at Leigh in the championship but remains to be seen. No official confirmation on the move so will have to wait and see if he is definitely ours.

When Grimmer went back to Hunslet, we went for Kyle Briggs back. Jamie Ellis would have been our next option if we couldn't have secured Kyle's services.

Read into that what you will.

Would rather have Ryan Brierly back from Leigh, or Ben Johnston given a run 1st. Taking cast offs from other clubs before we give our own lads a look in first is so depressing .

This player coming to us might explain the meeting Dickie Wrong and McCrae had in a coffee shop in Xscape last week....apparently

Brierley is a season loan not a DC and I would not be suprised if he is at Leigh next season as a contracted player - don't forget he was on Leighs scholarship prior to being told we couldn't run one anymore.

Ellis is about 21 and former Saint who went off the rails, Basil got a great year out of him last season.

I would, he's rated by everyone at the club and has been for some time now, and they know there will be a fan backlash if he isn't extended

Brierley will replace Danny Orr, not Jamie Ellis.

Is he is off contract this year ?
