This just shows how desperate Hull are to be considered a big club again.

However, I don't think that signing Gareth Ellis's dad is a move in the right direction!

I think Ellis just likes a new challenge. Cas, if his heart rules his head, Hull if he wants a realistic chance of adding medals to his collection.

Money will do the calling but why would we need another second rower as we have enough.If he was a prop yes fair enough but he aint so why would we need him

Huddersfield with Fa'alogo out of contract end of this season?? Plenty of money there and he is ex-Wakey

Can't see his dad getting a game there, wouldn't he be a bit too old ???

Think I beat you to the punch with that, but maybe mine was too subtle.

I agree -he wouldn't come back to Wakefield anyway so why don't we just concentrate our efforts on what we need not what we cannot have.

not true

Mate Ellis isn't gonna come to wakey, i would love him to but just cant see it happening. Love to be wrong but cant see him going anywhere else but Leeds.

FFS Ellis won’t be coming back & I for one couldn’t give two hoots.

We had some good years out of him, Leeds turned him into a workhorse & the Aussies have carried on with that tradition.

His best years are behind him, I hope he goes to Hull, they have a knack of paying over the odds for players whose best years are behind them.

Is this the same Gareth Ellis that is one of the 1st names on the international team sheet and won player of the year 3 times on the bounce for Wests Tigers ? You obviously don't watch much Aussie RL mate, sets up and scores try's for fun and is a brute in defence.

Still think he will sign for Cas dont think he would get a 3 year deal at Leeds/Wire/Wigam/Sts too old to get a long contract from the big clubs
