Quote: jonh "Lots of our overseas signings get a bit of attention from fans and to a certain extent I think Ellis gets overlooked because of the likes of French and Field doing what they do but I think Ellis has been a superb addition to the team as well.
Tough, great go forward, does the niggley stuff very well and also plays some nice eyes up rugby too ball in hand and is very damaging in defence.
Thought he was excellent again last night.
Keighran after a slow start is starting to find his feet in attack too which is very promising. Defensively he’s been fantastic and he’s another very tough lad which I didn’t really see before we signed him however his attacking influence wasn’t at the levels I expected but he’s getting there now and after a month off I thought he didn’t lose any momentum in that regard from where he left off pre ban.'"
Agree on Ellis, I remember the fans forum in 2022, Ellis had just got a 5 game ban for punching in Catalans and had been “just okay” to start his Wigan career.
Lenegan or Rads can’t remember which said “We see a lot of potential in Ellis and feel he could be at this club a long long time”.
He’s been brilliant this year as he was last.
I’ve been a bit critical of Keighran and Leeming but have realised we need to give new signings time; they will improve in our environment. Keighran has been improving.
