Will his return to GB coincide with the retirement of Peacock or Morley? If so expect both clubs to be interested despite Ellis being a second rower.

It would be better for the game here if he went to Cas.

Morley has indeed publically stated his wish was to return to Leeds, or play out his final days at his home town club of Salford. You are correct with the fact that Warrington offered more money than Leeds, plus a 4 year contract. For a 29 year old, without the benefit of hindsight, that was outrageous, Leeds only offered either a 1 or 2 year deal. Hence, he made his choice for what at the time he must have thought was his final contract.

I would love to see Gaz back at the club, as i would also have loved to have seen Moz also return to to us after his exploits in Oz

The club offering the longest deal and at the best price will obviously be winning his services if and when he returns, Didn't we offer Moz a 2 year deal on his return but were gazumped by Warringtons 4 year deal?

I wouldn't expect so for a couple of reasons. 1) Ellis was at the end of his existing Leeds contract and wasn't seeking an early release. And 2) Ellis had a more clued up agent/manager who I doubt would allow his client to compromise his future.



I wouldn't be so sure with this player given his past record. He joined Leeds for less money than Wakefield were offering for him to extend his stay at Belle Vue. He allegedly did the same again to test himself in the NRL at Wests. Who's to say he won't go for the hat-trick on his eventual return.

The attractions to Castleford should be huge and if/with a new stadium to fill they'll be in the market for a top signing and Ellis should fit that bill with a local boy returns twist.

Ellery Hanley to Leeds created quite a stir and he was (again allegedly) on a percentage of all additional rugby related revenue right down to a cut of the car parking fees.

I'm sure Ellis will return one day to Cas afterall it was no seceret he wanted to play for them one day.
As for us we have 2 very good Backrowers who potentially could go onto being every bit as good as Ellis.

Agree, we have lots of good back row forwards at the club not a area where we are weak and need to add to

I bet Andy Lynch agrees with GH! 28 games and nothing to show for it!

Appart from a bitter taste in the mouth!

Glad that loophole was shut down was not good for the game at all

Wasn't rob parker the unlucky player who missed out?

Not sure who it was but whoever it was a real slap in the face. And as it turned out cheating!

Fair play to the lad

true gent of the game and im sure he will get a top reaction (if and) when he comes to Headingley

I don't think Rob Parker played after about Round 24 and that was before Morley was first used in Round 27.

Lynch, Langley and Morley then appeared together in round 28 and the first play off game and it was Paul Johnson coming in to the second row that saw Langley and Morley retained and Lynch miss out.

Or some'at like that.
