Hang on didn't Ellis go to Australia on the proviso of showing he could make a name for himself in the NRL which he has. He set a goal and he did it and ticked it off. Now he is coming back to SL but we dont know what he wants. Does he want a big pay day? Does he want to win titles? If its the pay day then I would suspect the likely candidates to get his signature would be Hull. If its to win titles then i would suspect he'd come to Leeds.
I reserve judgement on whether Pearsons dollar can bring success to Hull. So far in this short season its been a bit 50/50. A good performance against Wire then a poor one against Salford. The problem is Ellis will want to commit by all accounts in the next few weeks. Hull will need to do some serious talking in that time. I'm sure also that if Leeds want him they'll have a plan. We have the advantages of being able to offer additional opportunities. I can imagine we'd offer him the chance to stay with leeds in a coaching role after he retires plus theres the Leeds Met link that he could utilise to forge a career elsewhere

Anyway what trophy can you win in the NRL except that one of the big fella putting his arm round Rob Burrow? Is the NPC still going?

Gawwy on Ellis [i “I would think we’d be interested, he is a quality player – no doubt about that – and a top-class person as well.
[/i
“It is something we will have a look at, the same as everyone else.”
Howes on possible clubs “He is a Cas lad, he enjoyed his time at Wakefield and he thoroughly enjoyed his time at Leeds and it was a big decision to leave.
“I will be staggered if we don’t have conversations with all three.[/i
[i“He’s 31 in May so it will probably be his last big contract, but it won’t be money-led. That will be part of it, but lifestyle, quality of football and the potential to win trophies is very important.
“He has still got a lot of affection for Leeds, he still keeps in touch with a lot of the players and at the time he left he wouldn’t have gone to any other Super League club.”[/i'"
In this YEP interview Gary H said he was interested in signing Ellis and was going to discuss with Brian Mc. Has anything been said what the outcome of the meeting was, I assume we are still interested? On twitter 1/2 supporters say we don't have the funds but GH has said several times that we are under the cap and can sign a quality player if available and if the person would add the the squad. If this rumour is corrrect has Gary H committed the spare money under the cap to sign another player? |

Sir Kevin on five live reckons there's a good chance Ellis could return and would be a great fit. He's kept in regular contact with the club.

Nothing I've seen from Pitts, Clarkson or Hauraki would make me feel bad about the club replacing them with a 31 year old Gareth Ellis.

Considering Frosties has posted on other forums that the deal was wrapped up in january I would be rather concerned. He had one year left on his contract and Wests announced this week they were releasing him a year early. Now if it was a done deal in january would that not count as tapping up? I have a feeling its a case of 2+2=5

He had an option to call time on his deal apparently on his final year

Ah yeah I know he had that but if Leeds approached him in january and then afterwards he requests to break the contract that would suggest tapping up. So to suggest a deal was done in January is very speculative and i would suggest its not the truth at all |
