It will probably benefit in England if more players play the NRL as it will help to remove the mysticism and demonstrate that one or two players are just boofheads - albeit talented (esp. when compared to man in street).

Huddersfield Wildcat Tigers surely?

Or maybe Castleford Bulls?

Could that be part down to coaching at international level?

I thought Ellis had a more rounded game - especially his offload game -playing for GB when he was at Leeds and he looked similar at Wakey before Leeds.

Maybe TS liked to use him for England/GB and Leeds in a way that really made the most of his core qualities but maybe didn't allow him to demonstrate some of his other skills?

Prrrrrraps and you may be onto something because, during his time at leeds, whilst a monster in defence, and a great player, I never thought he played like the ball handler he was at Wakey.

i agree he hasnt been the same at international level. I do think it isnt a bad thing for more uk players to play over there, at the least it would help the phycology of our players that they can beat them and they arnt super human. I sometimes think we are beaten before we step on the field against aussies sometimes

Sounds spot on does that, even down to his Dads name
