Interesting comments on Matt Ellis (and the DR situation) from Batley chairman Kevin Nicholas on their forum. Kevin is one of the more widely-respected chairmen in the Championship.
"DR is always a tricky topic with mixed views to say the least. I personally am unsure about it but the discussions we have had with Wakefield has filled us with more optimism than ever before. Only time will tell but if this relationship does not work we will be surprised and obviously disappointed. All i can say is that we are very positive that it can work hopefully for both Clubs. Ste Mills at Wakefield has had links with us doing work for coaches for a few years now and knows Moko well. Then Matt Ellis as new to RL administration is a breathe of fresh air for our sport of that there is no doubt. Once he gets settled in SL and then knows how it works at both levels of our sport he will bring a lot of integrity and common sense to the table which is very promising going forward."
