Quote: the stella kid "Ellis is not a Super League standard player and it as IMO the totally correct decision to let him go on loan.'"
Absolutely correct, Ellis has never been able to command a place at any of the clubs he has been so why is he so vital to us all of a sudden, People do remember where we finished last season i hope. I would have Ridyrard before Ellis any day, and for what it's worth i would play him alongside Farrel.
I take jools point and it's possible, but if clubs have sunk to tactics on this level , then maybe it's time to pack the game in.
Regards Ridyard, he may not be a world beater but lets be honest he is hardly joining Melbourn is he. When we signed Breirley people said it was Ridyard who was the player that made Leigh tick, at least we will be able to judge who is the better player for ourselves,
Many a player gets better under a different coach, and many a one get's worse as we well know, Dare i say as an example Greg Eden , I remember it well "Greg who? Ha Ha what a joke". Isn't he leading try scorer at the moment and going OK for Cas, yes he still makes some mistakes but he knows how to score tries and D Powell seems to be OK with him, but what does Powell know.
I don't see how we could be worse off with Ridyard than we are playing wood, Personally i would be more concerned about our pack fronting up to Catalan, we could do with winning this one.
