Disagree re Wildie above Wood.

Also disagree re releasing both Wood & Mellars

Far more to come from Mellars IMHO and Wood

Wood has played well at times this year to a far higher level than I have ever seen Wildie achieve

What exactly did Wildie do in his stint at Batley? He's not been ripping it up tbf as he?

I think Ellis deserves special praise this guy has come into the team not SL match fit weve won 7 in a row. Excellent seems like he had been playing in this team for years. Outstanding. If we let him go we are crazy. Cannot fault Kyle wood either I would keep them both. Davey and Wildie will probably leave.

Would be very, very dissapointed if this is true, the last 8 games have proved what Ellis brings to the team, and the last 2 games have said everything about what Agars thoughts are on the Ellis/Wood debate, (Ellis 20 mins then never seen again).

It's quite obvious teams target Wood and we concede a lot more points when he is defending in the middle and to me we can't afford to do this with Tim Smith in the side who has to defend in the centres.

Agreed. Wildie showed enough last year in what was a very average side to be awarded the rising star award if im not mistaken? I dont see that much from Wood to make me think he is any better. Yes, he has come on and made a difference on the odd occasion, but so did Wildie last year. Cas away anyone?? I would go as far to say that Wildies defence is better and he is stronger in the tackle.

It appears RA has made his decision and right now, who am i to question it??? Given a choice, i would have Aiton & Ellis but personally on this occasion i think it is more financial than anything, with other positions being the priority.

We have.....REECE LYNE !!!

Well what a position to be in do we keep this player or that player or the other player now that is rare for Wakey.I see Wood more as a 7 than 9 and Ellis more a natural 9 than Aiton and Aiton more a 13 but we have the problem of Washbrook who can also tackle like a demon.Think I will leave this one up to Mr Agar can do without the headache thanks.

Would be amazed if we sign Ellis, although we are desperate for a hooker.

Maybe its just rumour after his loan spell this season and the fact that he did so well. Most fev fans just want him back. Doubt we would have lost the NRC final if Ellis hadn't been recalled.

is he still contracted at wakey??

Yes signed a 3 year deal I believe. Hope we keep him he's a very good player and his distribution from acting half is as good as any hooker in the game

Let's get some perspective, this is a forum rumour after all.

There is clearly something about Ellis Agar doesn't seem to like - I don't know what it is, but that said I personally have seen nothing from him to suggest he's as good as some on this thread think he is - though I personally would keep him. But that's just the opinion of a fan as are all the others on here and despite what we all think we really have not got a clue compared to the coaching staff - end of.

So to answer your point with a question - why have no other SL teams been in for him? Because the chance has rather obviously been there all season. That may tell you all you need to know.

Finally and it's pure speculation - I have a feeling that it's not Ellis Agar or the other SL coaches don't rate, I think it's his wage. He was signed pre Agar and I think we may have over paid, or certainly in Agars eyes. As a coach he may think he can get a lot more VFM than Ellis offers and want that money released - just a thought.

If releasing one of our 3 hookers meant the difference between signing the barnstorming prop we need, or not, I'd trust Agar to make the correct decision for the overall benefit of the squad.

Good call, I hadn't thought of that - really can't see why we'd be letting him go if this wasn't the case tbh. London player of season last year, tore it up at Fev, been great when he came back - like I say, if it isn't a financial decision then it's madness to let him go.

Tbh we wouldn't be letting him go without a very good reason, there's already a dearth of quality players around anyway. IF he left it would be either financial or to improve the squad but personally I can't see him going anywhere.

To follow that thought through though if he has a 3 year contract then other than loaning him out to get some of the money back, why would he move if no one else thinks he is worth the wages he receives? There is no financial incentive for him to leave

If we relaese him, we will have to pay up the rest of his contract. (2 Years)
Would it count towards the salary cap?
So if Agar dosen't see him as an option and lets him go, he could walk away with a chunk of money and then sign for someone else.
I hope not as I think he can do a good job and would prefer him to stay
If he goes then I see Featherstone as his destination.

True enough, it's only a theory. However a lot depends on how his contract is structured etc. If however Fev were to match the terms we have and take over the contract he may wish to leave for guaranteed RL. It wouldn't be the first time a player has left SL for the Championship, most commonly to pursue a non RL related career. As I say just a theory and probably irrelevant considering how wrong this forum usually is on player moves.

At the end of the day Agars job depends on him making correct choices so I can only assume he feels he has better options than Ellis should the rumour be true - that is why he is a top 8 coach and we are not
