| Quote: ComeOnYouUll "Ellis is world class and would be a sensational signing for a number of reasons. It would be a real signal of intent.
I hear what people are saying about strengthening other positions but it goes without saying that Ellis would improve us and it's great to hear we are amongst the front runners for his signature.
Not getting my hopes up, mind ![]()
Exactly. Any world class player should be welcomed in. If Hull want to be back at the top it's the Ellis type players that need to be playing for us and not against us. Leeds must be favourites but it's good to see us in there giving it a shot.

So, who or where do we sacrifice to fit him under the cap?
Would the improvement that he would bring, be greater or less than the improvement we would gain, from strengthening our weak areas? |

How could I answer about the cap ? Like you I don't know who is on what, who is staying, who is definitely going ? etc. etc. Why wouldn't we have room on the cap but Leeds, for example, would ? There are a handful of English world class players in world RL and he is one of them. This calibre of player is not ten a penny and doesn't become available very often.
I could turn your perfectly fair questions around and ask how many other world class players will become available for 2013 in the positions where we supposedly need to strengthen ? Maybe a few - maybe none at all. We know Ellis is available and I'm glad we're in for him. With a house in Wetherby and previous at Leeds he'll likely finish up there. |

World class player but i'd rather strengthen other areas. Prop, centre and SO are the key areas for me.

I have a house in Leeds and lived there for 20+ years but I don't want to go back. 
Wetherby is north east Leeds, near the A1 and handy for West Hull |

Let us put an offer in. He takes it, good. If not we move on. We shouldn't break the bank for him.

Do people not think that signing a player of the calibre of Ellis would help us to attract other quality players?

Yes they do but if we want to be a club challenging for honours then surely this is the quality of player we have to be looking at. We are at last being linked with world class players and people are complaining at having to use up too much salary cap to get them.
