Aye,Mr Gentle did see things differently when he put Nicklas in ahead of Ellis.

We had a player called Curtis Jackson, 50 cents real name ( don't think you'll know who he is though getting in a bit now mate )

But yeah the 5 looked really good, he's in the first team squad.

According to Smailes (also a report by Wilf) in one of the pre-season friendlies Nicklas was good but Ellis was excellent and led the team around the pitch and some good kicking, so I doubt there is that much to choose tbh.
Like I said earlier I hope he gets a shot before the end of the season, as I do most of the young talent we have.

Maybe so but Gentle obviousley saw something more in Nicklas or else Ellis would have played.I hope he does get a run out but i was suprised at how big he was for a 7 and he does need to shed some for me,being that big for a 7,he would tire very quickly in the pace of 1st team.

How small are we talking? And was it Shaul yesterday?

A lot of people didn't fancy Slater or Bowen because of their size, and Prescott wasn't particularly big either.

curtis jackson is son of lee. Elis has nearly always been built that way. amazing how people blinded by build! showed no sign of being un fit yesterday. broke line plenty and scored 2. timing bit out but 20s 1st run out for a few weeks with some big players out on loan. regarding elis danny houghton said he is a super fit lad,wishes he could be that big and be that fit! terry newton never looked that much of an athlete but was amongst fittest at every team he was at!

So you saw the interviewwhen he said it as well then?

well he made an impact tonight

Yeah he did carve them up with his own individual abilty.

The things that I hoped to see off of Ellis was stuff that would transition to SL regardless of opposition such as kicking game and controlling Hulls offence but he was lacking in both departments.

Lewis Brown yet again is a kid that stands out every time I see him even playing against older and bigger players.

Thought Kent starting at prop was a very weird call as he should be playing his first team role for the 20s which is a wide running back rower not a down the middle battering ram.

a fellow player said he a fit lad and gentle has had him all winter. so i don't believe he suddenly decided he ain't fit enough when the season starts! more a case of improving speed and agility,plus it can only help carrying a bit less!
