According to Ellis himself, he wasn't his choice to leave London.
So I doubt very much he was offered a new deal

Still could have been offered more by Wakey. I assume the club must have a reason linked one hopes to the composition of the squad and where money is being spent in certain positions.

Basically it says,
'Andy Ellis had to seek new employment elsewhere after his contract offer was withdrawn by Harlequins'
Says he wanted to stay and was looking for a house but the contract was suddenly withdrawn.
In League Weekly it states the contract was withdrawn after Chad Randall (Captain of Team Randall) signed a two year deal and Julian Rinaldi was rumoured to have signed.
So two oldies for a better young one. Wonder which fans are going to be the happiest.
Other than that he is sad to be leaving, and as a fan I too am sad he is leaving.
Let's hope we have some better replacements coming soon.
Witt is good but we are losing almost a full pack and have only signed a prop so far.
I know its early but if Crusaders hadn't lost the licience we wouldn't of even got him.

See reports in papers today.,
Agent Chris Harrison
Yes he was offered a contract, but it was withdrawn.
Were we outbid, irrelevant as we didn't want to keep him.

| Club seems to think having Randall & Ellis doesn't work. Perhaps Randall insists on being top dog.
Either way its a farce. We've let go of one of the best English players we've had in ages.

| I like Paddocks offerings- I've always thought we were short of a left footed kicker

| Ellis should have been the priority 'retain', not Randall.
Not happy that we are trying to recreate Manly's 2005 team.

........and crucially, better than Randall. Which is what makes this all the more ridiculous.

| Is he better than Randall?
It may well be Randall brings more to the team from a leadership perspective for example
