Quote: Tricky2309 "I think the money Ellis was on was most probably the main reason he went. You don't need to be a qualified coach to see that his defence is better than Wood's and his distribution from dummy half is better than both Aiton and Wood.
Consequently, our limited finances and the need to reward some of last years team with increased deals and get a decent prop in, meant Ellis had to go to balance the books.'"
You are probably spot on there, also lets not forget that Ellis was signed by James Elston and Aiton was signed by Richard Agar who allegedly travelled halfway round the world to sign him, does not take a lot to work it out.
