| Quote: Exeter Rhino "What a silly thing to say. Admit it, you're just bitter that he's not coming to Leeds.'"
Hold on cocka where did I say I'm not bitter? A bit disappointed maybe. If you want go say I'm bitter feel free.
But why is it silly? I'm confident that hull are still no hope with or without Ellis. Good luck to Gaz and FC. But if I fancy wearing an FC shirt to the NRL games and the 2/3 leeds games i will get to instead of my Leeds shirt then I will. It makes me a good sport rather than bitter. Coz I'm a man of my word.

| Quote: RhinoNeil "Disappointed?...yes. Did we need him?...no. Was he a luxury that may have taken more cap than other successful squad members?...Yes.
To be successful you need a big squad depth with a fine balance of real quality on a budget, if Hull have thrown lots of £££££ towards him then good luck to them but not the formula in Super League at present.'"
We wasnt the the highest bidder.

| Fc have come out and said he is on a decent wage but not massive amount to unbalance the squad and he did turn down more money from other clubs. World Class Signing so we are over the moon

Whilst signing Ellis is good business for Ull i doubt GH and others will be quivering at the thought of motor-mouth Pearson running your lot.
Great signing no doubts at all but you are still "Way Off" top 4/5 and even further from the "Big Gun" AP claims you to be.

Are you baseing that on the last 4yrs under the old board and the clown that was Agar.We have had a complete overhaul of the coaching team,facilites and players.we know we arent going to be world-beaters over night but we are improving steadily.Ellis is a signing of intent and may now make us a club worth signing for.

| It'll be a shame to see Ellis in another teams shirt but this covered it from a Leeds perspective. At the end of the day we already have a lot of options in the back row.
Quote: The Biffs Back "Gaz would be a great player to have back on board at the club without a doubt, He would almost be a luxury signing.
If we don't happen to re sign Gaz then so be it, as it won't weaken what we already have in place at present at the club
IMO we don't need to panic if we don't get him back, and then just go out and sign someone else instead.
I have complete faith in our junior players like Ward and Singleton who are chomping at the bit in the U20's and are clearly able to make the grade at SL level and very quickly too'"

Pearson is still sorting the mess out from GHs bloody missus running the club and how is he a motor-mouth...what he has said and promised,he has deliverd.

| for me this signing for FC reminds me of Craig Fitzgibbon a player who will greatly add to the team, but won't be the one to take them to the next level, to competing for the grand final, Half Backs are what they need, but still very good signing for them

| Quote: Tongan Mafia "Choosing Hull Over Leeds LOL and for less money by the sounds of it
The quote from your coach was "potentially some more lucrative offers" which is a as woolly as they come and also makes no reference to Leeds.
Given our chairman's reputation for being careful with money and our well known strict salary structure I don't believe anyone could credibly argue that he choose Hull for less money that Leeds would have offered.

| Not too disapointed with the news. We have lots of very good second row, lots of young tallent and not a area we are desperate in. Some good youngsters coming through as well. Some mentioned why sign Delaney but for me he has been great this year and I am more than happy with the extension he got. Ellis would have been a luxury signing.
Should be good for SL Gaz going to hull and not the current big 4. Think hull need more than Ellis but they are going in the right direction. Will be interesting to see what will happen as hull appear to have a few SR AS WELL.
What about swapping g Manu for hauraki? Certaining looks more like Ali than weller does?
Good luck to hull they have got a good player is ellis

| Quote: fc baldy "We wasnt the the highest bidder.'"
And you saw each and every contract/terms/dialogue submitted from every club? Say what they want in the media I not believe for one second money wasn't a a big factor in the move to Hull!
Every club in SL apparently spoke to Howes, he does not kid me saying that he genuinely chose Hull over Leeds, Wire and Wigan because he felt he could win trophies at Hull, no disrespect but I find that highly amusing! And for the record If I was Ellis based on trophies alone I would have spoken straight to Warrington and worked under Tony Smith.

We are undoubtably a work in progress and we all understand that. However, Salford away apart it has been an encouraging start to the season which has already included points from Saints and Warrington who are established 'big guns'!!!
We have players still settling in, one new signing yet to make his debut and the offensive side of the team just beginning to find it's way (hence the Widnes stuffing). That coupled with the best defence in the league right now, we are a team the big clubs will not take lightly
