| Yes he IS better than Randall. Probably not better than Randall of 4 years ago but I'm afraid we'll all have forgotten how good Chad was by the time the next 2 years have passed.

| In League Express Ellis really voices his frustration/annoyance, that a contract offer seemed to be withdrawn.

There is no evidence that Randall brings any leadership and Ellis should have been the priority to keep.

I don't see it myself, but I reckon that Randall will be given the captaincy last year and in a strange way may have been the reason why he got a contract and Andy Ellis did not, or am I trying to rationalise an irrational decision.

That may be true, but why can't both be kept? The salary cap can't possibly be an issue to us can it?

Hughes' money, and so his say. From the outside it seems bizarre, so maybe Rob Powell's to blame. On a serious note is seems just plain bizarre, and at best an illogical decision, but that is from the outside, we don't know if he was injury-prone, not doing what the coach was asking of him, etc.

| Maybe we had paid over the odds for him as we did Wilkes and DH is cutting the bigger earners from the wage bill-I doubt Randall is earning half what he was.
When you think Purdo, Orr, 2 Aussies have left/leaving, Randall probably on a reduced wage that will free up a big chunk of the SC.

Ellis was earning about 50% of what Randall was earning last season, and less that Wilkes.

| Randall shouldn't be given the captains band, i dont believe he offers as much as he should do when hes captain, he gives away too many stupid penalities at times, especially ones when you think 'you're a fool Randall' shouldn't get these sort of penalties given by the captain.

Indeed. Ellis had never played Super League before he came to us and won't have been on much. Wilkes has been playing SL for ages, Randall is obviously Hughes' little pet.
There is something that isn't quite right about all of this.

wakefield could well be a "top side" next season with the new recruits (with a load more to come) and improving yougsters. andrew glover has said they now have the funds to spend the full salary cap so it seems a good move for both ellis and wakefield. ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

Look how many seasons it took Simon Moran at Warrington before money bought success, so lets wait and see, a lot of teams may be spending money, many money that they don't have! except those with owners who may have some money.

| Terrible news for you guys, Ellis looked class for you, even when all around him looked average. You think this is because of the Gower signing? I know you have him pegged to play in the halves, but I'm pretty sure he was playing hooker before he headed to yawnion. Plus, Witt is a freak and can pretty much play the role of both halfbacks!
