We won't miss him, very average from what I've seen of him!

Im not sure where, or how he fits into the Giants first team. I would have thought that he would have a much better chance of playing first team with us. I cant help but think that there is more to this than a player wanting to move to further his career.....assuming of course these rumours are true.

I concur, he has had ample opportunities to impress and rarely did. I was starting to think he had something on Agar given his continued selection in the side over better players. Its a shame this meant Trinity lost a decent hooker as a result. Hopefully Wildie will get more of an sustained chance now to show whether he has a SL future.

As long as he is ultimately replaced by a better player then he won't be missed. In the short term Matty Wildie gets a chance to prove that man is him.

As I understand it, Ellis was released and we are still paying the last two years of his contract.
Whether that means we can get him back, or if he wants to come back to play for Agar, I don't know.

I hope that is not the case it's crazy still paying for a hooker playing at another club when he is needed at Trinity to adequately support Aiton!

If the above statement is somewhere near the truth, then it's definitely time to swallow your pride and get Ellis back. With the pack we have, we need someone to get them rolling forward to give the halves a chance. If it's true that Ellis was on something like 100k a year, it doesn't make sense to be paying some or all of his wage to play for Fev. Got to weigh up what he is on, to what he will bring to the team in the second half of the season, but more importantly as what has been mentioned on a few threads on here. What impact will it have on next years season ticket sales.

As far as I know, Ellis is now a Fev player. I can't imagine we're paying them for the privilege.

If he isn't, I suggest we get him back.

"Featherstone have completed the permanent signing of Wakefield hooker Andy Ellis on a two-year deal.

Ellis, 27, spent time on loan with Rovers in 2012, making seven appearances, before being recalled by the Wildcats for their end of season run-in following an injury to Paul Aiton.

Head Coach Daryl Powell said: "Andy spent some time with us this season which gave both us and him an opportunity to see how he fits into the way we play. He is a proven player both in the Championship and Super League competitions as his last eight appearances for Wakefield showed.

"His signing gives us strength in depth in all positions, with Ben Kaye playing outstanding rugby league this year. Andy's signing gives us great options at hooker."

The former Barrow hooker, who was Championship Player of the Year in 2009, moved to Super League with Harlequins in 2010, before making the switch to Belle Vue ahead of the 2011 season."

He said: "I'm happy to be joining Featherstone Rovers on a permanent basis. It's a great team with great lads and fantastic supporters. I look forward to working with everyone next year and hope I can contribute to another fantastic year. Good luck to everyone this coming weekend in the Grand Final, It's a well deserved end to an awesome season and lets hope we retain our title!"

He'll be a Fev player but he will of had either a lump sum pay off or we will be paying the balance of his wage for the remainder of the time his contract would have had to run. He wouldn't have left for much of a pay cut but we still make a saving.

Well that's fantastic news.

Standard practice. Believe we did something similar with Kevin Penny last year as well.

So much made up information on here.
It's ok having opinion but when posted as a fact can simply confuse things even more.

Agar won't bring Ellis back IMHO he is more likely to get a loan like Hood from Leeds or Brad Dwyer if he's not getting game time at Huddersfield on loan?
If Wood has been released then Agar will be savvy enough to know he needs a hooker coming the other way into the squad surely?

I don't know, Trinity are short of a backrower.
