I'd say so. Ellis' team-mates say that he's an inspirational character around training so he must have helped Hadley progress. If Dean continues to improve I could see him as a similar kind of player. I saw him make a hit earlier in the year (I forget against who) where he took a charging player in the chest and barely took a backward step. It made me suspect that the kid is actually made out of metal. His technique needs polishing though.

one of my highlights of this year has to be Hadley charging at Grix making him shat himself and hardly even try to catch the bomb which led to Hadley scoring

Kid's got a bright future

Was it one of the Catalans players he hit?
I do remember a big hit during that game (can't recall the player) by one of the young lads but I'm no sure if it was Hadley or Bowden.

I think he was referring to Radders

I think it was against Cats. My active imagination added the sound effect CLANG!

belive saints wanted him to for one more year but he is looking for more

Think he will struggle for 2, he is 35 isn't he?

Anyway doesn't look like it is him we are signing.

Minichiello seems to be the one who is out of contract so guess he would be the favourite.

rugbyleagueweek.com.au/hull-fc-s ... o-signing/ Minichiello? Experienced international..........? Will bring some experience with him if nothing else. The climate in the GC is similar to that of East Yorkshire, so he should hit the ground running

And maybe the time spent under Paul Cooke at Doncaster?

Some reports from down under , that Pritchard will be announced by us in the next few days ?

If Frank signs for you despite his age he will be a quality acquisition for your side. Ball handing skills of a halfback and size of a front rowers running on the edges. However, it seems he won't be joining FC www.sportal.com.au/league/nrl-pr ... a23wf58l98 Probably to a team like Widnes would be a team he will join..?

It seems david fa'alogo is staying in oz,thank goodness for that.

According to the HDM Saints are looking to pay £100k for Travis Burns.

Now as much as I think the guy is a complete tit, he's a niggly player who winds the opposition up, something we lack. Would prefer him to Pryce and Rankin, but unlikely Rovers would sell to us.
