From what I heard there is nothing supicious with the contract situation with Ellis. Apparently there was a good (no I dont know how much) offer on the table for him to stay but he wanted to try and go to one of the bigger clubs up north as there was interest initially. Eventually the quins set a deadline for him to sign as they needed to sign a replacement if he was going to leave. The deadline was not met and the quins removed the contract offer and signed Rinaldi. The bigger clubs lost interest in Ellis and Wakey was his only option apparently.
I don`t see the problem with the club issuing a statement to clarify what seems to be misinformation. Time and time again they are criticised for not communicating, not acting fast enough, making seemingly dumb decisions etc……….in this case Ellis appears to have turned down an offer in the hope for something better and it is right that the club should refute claims that a contract was never offered. After protracted discussions Ellis made his choice and the club had to make theirs, nothing wrong in that. If they did not make a statement (given Ellis was seen by many as one of our better players) then the perception with supporters remains that the club have somehow messed up, again!!
I am more concerned with who we are signing and who is going to be retained for next year, as it seems we still have a long way to go in establishing a full competitive squad.
1649_1338292262.jpgI have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg
I fully support the club coming out with a statement after the article in the weekly rugby league media which seemed to picture the club badly, so why should they not clarify the situation?
simpsons/017.jpgWelcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg
Agree completely with UtS. Good to know why it hasn't worked out with Ellis.
Pinky - Ellis went off injured in France the other week, so I would guess that is the reason why he's not in the squad for tomorrow (oh and Purdo picked up a neck injury during that game too).
Quote: Londo06 "Well looks like Ellis has come off worse, he has to go to Wakefield. I understand why he would want to go to big club, but he hasn't looked special since we looked good...'"

We topped the league at the start of the season, and we looked good at that time. I know it feels so very long ago, but surely I'm not the only one who can remember that we can turn it on.
