Quote: batleyrhino "As a Stand Off or Loose Forwards, there were some things that he wasn't so good at, the cut out pass to the winger for example, but that didn't matter because he usually scored himself rather than put someone else in. He wasn't much of a team player but didn't need to be. Think of someone with the physical capability of Keith Senior and the mental capability of Jamie Peacock.
Ellery was as good a player as I've ever seen in 35 years of watching this sport.'"
Agree. He was incredible to watch. Brilliant player. Remember when he retired I was at a presentation event to some Leeds junior players (I was one of them) and he was quite critical of the Leeds board at the time about a lack of backing.
Best player I’ve ever seen in this country
