NO and I'm taking my ball home as well.

Have to say I was quite impressed with him last night, he has a good step too which I'm looking forward to seeing.....his kicking game is what excites me most.

I'm just hoping a senior player will take Ellis under his wing and guide him....would be quite easy for a young kid letting his new found status as a rugby league player in Hull go to his head. Hopefully a new coaching regime will be in place too so perhaps I should not worry about this.

I would also like to think Robbie Paul will have had chats with him about how to apply himself for a long career in super league....

Actually thought he tackled quite well.

Not many halfbacks have a top defensive game.
A friend of mine worked at the Club under Cleall and Crooks in the 90`s. He said Craig Coleman was bollocked by some of the forwards for his weak defence . His answer was, "That is what you meatheads are on the pitch for ! To tackle and protect me!"
Ellis will be a great signing.

Andy Gregory was a real slim Jim wasn't he!

Yeah Gregory had a bit of timber on him and certainly didn't affect his game. I dont think the weight thing is much of an issue, if he needs to lose a few pounds the conditioner will get him sorted out before february next year.

conditioner, what conditioner?

The new one whoever he/she is

Hope we dont use the old slimfast

I am sure some conditioners know quick ways of losing weight

Who???

I don't agree tbh, you could be the best kicker and most creative player in world rugby... if you can't defend you can't play superleague. I've seen him make a fair few defensive errors this year (granted only when they're on tv) whilst playing in the championship, and we all know SL is a huge step up. Priority for me is his defence, only when that's good enough will he play
