Good on Gareth.
He is playing for a team equivalent to Harlequins in the NRL.
Two players from each team had to be picked, Marshall was an automatic pick so it was down to Gareth or Robbie Farah.
He did well he came 1st out of a two Horse race.

At Trin from Acadamy prospect through to GB international i think its fair to say we made him.

Yes yes yes , But it's that final ' fine tuning ' at the mighty Leeds Rhino's that has really made him who he is

OK mate.

More evidence that you are a clueless buffoon!

aaand he's gone all quiet has ol' Dally

I doubt we need MORE evidence really.

hmm noo, The idea of bringing a player through your academy system makes them your junior.
Where you played amateur rugby at 11 years old makes diddly squat

2/10 very poor efffort, must try harder.

Tigers equiv of Quins? Quins won a premiership in the last few years?

Not taking anything away from Ellis, but...

Only one player per club was to be picked. Captiains and Vice Captains of NZ and Aus were picked automatically.

Therefore:
Marshall who would have been the tigers fan pick was an automatic inclusion
Farah who would have polled second didnt really have a chance as his position hooker was taken by australian vice captain Cameron smith
Ellis is your tigers Bradbury. But I am happy for him to make the squad, bringing more of international feel to the game.

If Gareth Ellis is a Cas fan , played at a junior club , was picked by Wakey as a Scholar , academy player and a senior player , then eventually played for Leeds under the stewardship of Tony [ smug ] Smith , then all these will have helped him develop as a player along with his parents , family , fellow players and any coaches he has played under

All these people along with Gareth himself are responsible for his success

To try to pick out any single one is totally stupid , it is a collective of his life so far that has made him the person and the player he is

Well done Gareth

Charming.
