Who have we [the wire fans] become when we start saying stuff like Ellis is overrated?

Having a back line selection of Ellis, Westwood, TBSH, Grix, Cooper, Harrison etc and not to mention the lads coming through, 'kin hell, we'd be scary.

In fairness to those with a balanced viewpoint, Ellis is a high quality backrower. We are fortunate to have two excellent players there, so going for Ellis wouldn't really give the right balance to the squad. Anther time, he would be ideal, just not now.

I reckon Ellis could play alongside Westwood and Waterhouse could move up to prop especially if Moz calls it a day !

ellis or waterhouse at loose????

There would be an even longer queue at the Post Office on a Tuesday morning.

So what did Bridge do to warrant a sending off at Huddersfield?

you are aware that front rowers dont mature and reach their prime till their late 20s even 30

Ellis is a fine player, top drawer. But not for Wire, not next season.

Regarding our recruitment, a lot depends on whether Briers is retiring. If he isn't, I think we'll probably look at promoting a younger guy at FB, probably Ratchford, maybe more gametime for Riley. If he is, I suspect we'll spend some money on an experienced back to play either FB (and go with a Myler-Ratchford halfback duo) or halfback.

Was that the last time Rogues answered a direct question?

When his helper asked if he wanted custard with his sponge pudding.

I've given my puddings and cakes up for lent.

Bless you Brian.

Mcllorum will be heartbroken to see his one and only fan has deserted him.

I was going to do the same joke with Lauaki, I was just checking the spelling.
