I'd be very surprised if he didn't return to Leeds. Doubt any of the other West Yorkshire sides could meet his wages. Quality player but not for us imo.

I'm not sure that we need a backrower, signing Waterhouse means our backrow is complete and he wouldn't come to play second fiddle obviously.

The only way that I could see us being interested is if the rest our recruitment for next year is pretty young and we're looking to find ways of keeping experience/leaders in the side, losing Morley, Briers & Hodgson you lose some serious on & off field leadership and Ellis would to some degree replace that.

I'd be happy to see him sign for us, maybe Waterhouse could play front row (like a Puletua) covering backrow, Ellis & Westwood in the backrow.

Next years recruitment is going to be very interesting with a quota place up for grabs and plenty of dough to spend.

To be honest I was looking for a more exciting signing than Gareth Ellis.

Has a house in Wetherby ,yes ,but doesn't Kevin Sinfield still commute from Oldham?also I remember a few years ago he was said to have bought a house somewhere near you ,and it was all "done deal".Good luck to Ellis,I hope he gets a good deal from wherever

We don't need to sign another experienced backrower, we have two peaches waiting to come through in the U20s.

Anyone who doesn't think Ellis is top quality needs their head testing. If we only signed Trent on a 1 year deal, I'd say yes but as that's not the case, I think his availability has come 1 year too late for us. Has to be favourite to go back to Leeds to pick up his pension.

its a no from me.... we are better spending the cap money in other areas.... like GDMM said we have some tremendous backrowers in the under 20's waiting to get a chance.

I think we will be lsoing Brett and Solo at the end of the year. Maybe Lee but defo not Moz. He doesn't want to retire and is still one of the best (if not the best) forwards in the league. Short of a massive injury ~(worse than when he went blind last season) would he not get at least another year.

On the Ellis question, it is a no from me. I like Waterhosue and the rest of his colleagues. More should be spent on replacing Lee and maybe some young backs.

Who are...

I've heard Hull FC are in for him.

Well Ben Currie is one.

I can see Ben Evans coming throw as a back rower.. and possibly Laithwaite as well.

After thinking about it I remembered GH refuses to deal with his agent. On review i can't see him at Leeds.

There has been a few remarks on here regarding Briers leaving at the end of the season. If he continues in the same form, I can see him getting another year at Warrington.

Available to watch at Wilderspool every other weekend. Get yourself down there.
