My view entirely



Since Louis Anderson and Matt King left the Wire...would that not leave a decent amount of money over there? Sorry if that's already been posted.

Wakey offered him more to stay than what Leeds gave him, would love for him to come back to Wakey but can't see it at all. Hull are probably favorites IMO.

I fail to see what's funny. Playing in the NRL doesn't make you superhuman and in the last 2 four nations he's played, Ellis has been ordinary. If Westwood went to the NRL they'd be saying exactly the same about him. It's a debatable one but it's my opinion, there's a lot of bloody ordinary players running round the NRL, hence why when the freaks show up they look so good.

As for cap space J Monaghan did a 'Wigan' last year, just more subtley and takes much of Kings dollar and we've paid some youngsters more and signed Stefan Ratchford so, not really.

Westwood would be banned a lot more if he were in the NRL too - dont think Ellis has copped a ban really has he?

Westwood>Ellis

Just because he didn't go to the NRL doesn't mean he's a lesser player, in fact if he was an Oz passport holder he'd be in their team too.

Ellis is a better defender, doesn't give away the stupid penalties Westwood does and offers more in attack.



Westwood wouldn't last 2 minutes in the NRL, he would be a liability with the stupid penalties he gives away and he wouldn't get anywhere near the Aussie national team, don't talk stupid.

Westwood has out performed Ellis every time they've played in the same team, get your head out your backside.

No he hasn't, but ok.

When players play for England they are given set instructions, and if you notice the ball tends to only go to one side of the pitch - and that's the side Westwood plays on, not Ellis.

That's the problem with England, everyone has to play a different role to what they do at club level and then people complain when they don't do anything outstanding, what would you expect a player to do when his specific instructions are to be there for his defensive abilities?

The last 4 nations was the perfect time to play open, espansive rugby with the players in the squad like Chase, Roby, Sinfield & Ellis but McNamara played split half back 1 man bump....not rugby you can really stand out playing.

Westwood isn't even the best second rower Warrington have, nevermind what England have.

Remind me how many times has Westwood been voted the best second rower in the world?

Chase was voted Man of Steel so we know there are flaws to voting systems.

Ellis is quite a bit better than Westwood, IMO. And I've no real reason to be biassed. I'm not saying Westwood is poor, but if Ellis came back, even at 32, I think he'd be one of the top ten players in SL.


edit: 'when', not 'if', innit?

Because Chase was the best player in Super League last season and contributed the most to his team...which is what the award is for



Or are you going to start with your xenophobic ramblings again like you were doing all winter on the Cas board?
