the same tigers who beat the cowboys last week

jeeze you dont talk nonsense

ellis has shown there is some genuine talent in SL that can do very well in the nrl

its a shame he didnt go to the storm, manly or dragons for example

Can we please have Moz back at the Roosters.

I agree that we need him, but as a Roosters and Warrington fan, my loyalties are divided here. I'd be happy either way!

Bankroll youth development through C1 .... or sending kids to Oz ... decisions decisions.

Do Australian teams want underdeveloped English players to train up?
Why would they when they also want the best available to forge into long term assets.
Ellis has done well but he is a Test player, who else has done anything other than Carney and Morley tears ago?
Mathers, Thorman, Tansey and a few that made so little impact that they never played first grade before slipping back to England.

The same Cowboys the Panthers beat at home without a few of our best players?

Yes.

C1 is the answer. that way RL in england will maintain the same consistancy re. australia it has for 40 years.

fair point. ill give you that as its turned out

clubs should try to link with aussie teams and develop a scholarship scheme where some of our talent goes over there for a year and some of their talent comes over here for a year, it develops the players mind set because they will be out of their comfort zone and it will also help the players because they will get different coaching styles.

i know lenegan was looking into forming a partnership with an aussie club, think it was the dragons or cronulla but not certain, it is a really good idea.

Once again....I can just see Aussie clubs lining up to develope a playert for a Pommy club and sending one of their best to the UK to learn how not to play the game.


That will never, ever happen.

we down under clubs teach those pommys a lesson every tornament

Token Ellis is a very average player.

The Storm, Manly or Dragons wouldn't entertain him in their sides.

NRL sides should be bringing Aussie players into first grade football instead of some average Brit.

The only good thing about it is that it will teach him how to play the game properly and he will be better when he goes home to the UK
