I'd hazard a guess it's because in his career he's started 11 games at Prop and 10 games in the 2nd row. And he's played at prop from the bench far more times than he has at 2nd row. It's quite reasonable to list him as an option for either position.

Our main focus has to be getting and keeping him fit (as in "our", I mean him and the club), I am still a bit sceptical because of his injury record, I'll be delighted when my concerns are proven unfounded.

Edited for accuracy.
It's a lot more relaxing if you don't look for something to worry/whinge about.

Cator signs and Ellis does another year which is a mistake imo

How much is he costing on the cap and who would you have signed instead?

Like the look of Cator, good signing with a bit of mongrel in him.
Ellis will only be used sparingly so it’s a no brainer having him in and around the squad.

Do you really believe that? Radford knows hes had a bad season or two and will play safe and Ellis will feature in the 17 a lot i reckon at the expense of energy from a new recruit. I know im just guessing but i cant seem him signing to be bit part or in the reserves. Ellis will play a lot and we'll have a weaker 13 or bench for it despite having a very strong squad for next season - he simply isnt needed now and it was time to move on imo

Absolutely

His main influence next year will be off the field. Having him on the training field most days, and occasionally used in games, will only be a good thing.
Can’t underestimate what an influence he is on the rest of the squad.

Imagine how bad we would have been without him
