And this is probably the reason we wont get him. IIRC he signed for Leeds on less money than other were offering him. Likewise, when he went to the NRL he'll probably have taken less money than he could have got over here.
He comes back a player in the absolute top bracket, and will command top dollar. He probably has a good few years left in him, but I would guess his best years are behind him too. We all know that GH can be as rigid as a girder in contract negotiations, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him at another club, now would I blame the lad

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Ellis will be 32 next year, and I expect will want a three year deal. No thank you.
But I suppose he would fit in well at Wire or Leeds.

| I hope we don't consider signing him. He will be 32 next year, he's coming back early for his last big payday. He joined Leeds to win trophies, he went to Australia to test himself in the hardest league there is. He's achieved a great deal in his career, his next move will be to the highest bidder.
I'd question his ambitions and motivation, plus hasn't he suffered more injuries over the last few years.
Nah, I'd let our rivals take the chance and offer him a very expensive 3 year deal.

| Leeds "most likely" destination according to foxsports over here. Sincerely hope so, he's the best performing English import to NRL ever. Nuff said

| I'd like to see him back but wouldn't be too upset if someone like Warrington threw huge money at him.

Yeah he's not well versed enough in injuring the opposition to fit in Wigan. Better off at a team that passes the ball every now and again.

| It would be good to see Ellis back in a Leeds shirt once more as he was a top notch key player for us. However as others have stated his best years are behind him and IMO in the 4 nations he looked slower and a shadow of his former self.
I am morgan freeman ....no sorry... I am more than happy with the way Delaney has settled into the 2nd row where his performances and work rate are on a heroic JJB scale. These two plus Ablett are currently the best rowers in the SL and with Clarkson and Hauraki we have good cover.
If we could be sure that Ellis would offer us a couple of years of his previous younger man form or if he would move up to prop the way Morley did and retain the same workload then it is worth consideration as Leuluai is set to retire and JP cannot go on forever at the same level. Morley returned to SL when he was 28ish but Ellis will be 31 this year. I guess the NRL has taken its toll and last season he had an ankle injury which restricted his appearances.
So on balance it would depend on his fitness and willingness to move up to prop and of course the cost.

| 32, expensive, past his best, lots of miles on the clock, a bit injury prone, and plays in a position we have a lot of depth and a few youngsters with great potential. I'd only consider signing him if we let Huraki go.

| having spoken to his old man early indications are "he'd like to go back to you lot" that is the response i got. and it was his dad who told me he was going to the NRL long before it became common knowledge.

Why would Delaney stop him coming back?
