| Just watched Manly Vs Wests Tigers and Gareth Ellis has absolutely mashed the Sea Eagles. After early season injury it's taken him some time to get back on the field and a little bit longer to find his full form & fitness but he's right on his game now.
If only big Sam can get a few games in before the end of the season we might have some fireworks in the 4Ns.

| It's not Forwards that we need.
It's 1-7 where we need something special.

According to the official stats for that game...
Ellis made 98 metres... Gibbs 127, Heighington 109 and Galloway 198 made more.
Ellis made 15 hit-ups... so did Heighington and Galloway made 21.
Ellis made 3 ineffective tackles... Heighington made 2, Gibbs 1 and Galloway ZERO.
Ellis made no line breaks... Galloway did.
Eliis missed 6 tackles... Heighington missed 2, Galloway 4, Gibbs ZERO.
Ellis made 1 tackle break... Heighington made 6, Galloway 3.
What did Ellis do again?
WTF are you on about?

Being a Wigan fan, I'd say Charnley but there's a few in contention like Hall

Did you watch the game,
Stats don't tell half the story if you think they do then you're a fool.

Yes, I did watch the game. Which game were you watching? On Friday he missed 6 tackles, made 3 ineffective tackles and failed to make a single line break. There were other Tigers forwards who performed way better than him. His performance was below his usual solid yet unspectacular. None of this amounts to Ellis "mashing up" the NRL opposition and "crushing" them on Friday
He should do OK by performing in a solid yet unspectacular fashion in a losing 4N England side in November because he's one of our best players.
They'll beat Wales.

Then you don't know what to look for in a Player and don't understand the concept of quality over quantity, a common mistake made by novices.

| It isn't just Ellis. Widdop is one of the form halves in the game. And as a Souths fan I can't say I could be any more impressed with Luke Burgess. I know he won't make the England squad, but he's handled the change with ease and will certainly be in our 17 next season. I have to admit to not seeing a huge amount of him before he came to us, but if his normal level is what he has shown so far I'm very surprised that Leeds weren't interested in keeping him. Good player.
