Chase has much, much more to his game than just flair. Sammut doesn't.

I've no idea if Eastmond's possible but he'd be my choice. Would be top drawer if ever he returned to League.

Signing Eastmond would be a worse risk than the signings of Head, Dykes and Long.

Kearney Fitz and Swain are considered legends, and have won awards and trophies.

They were grafters

Couldn't disagree with this more! Kearney was big mean tough but had great hands and a real leader, and to call swain a grafter is silly, decent kicker, especially out of dummy half, a true leader by example and one of the sharpest operators out of dummy half you'll see!

Lynch consistently did massive minutes, and was according to opta 3rd best prop in league, and gets a fair share of off loads and they well down this year compared to yrs gone by. also throughout his career has a great try record for a 'workhorse' prop. But to suggest Ellis is in the mould of lynch when even lynch is more than just a work horse is wrong in my opinion!

Where did I state Ellis was in the same mould as Lynch ?

If you check I responded to the suggestion that grafters do not win player of the year awards, I did not suggest Ellis was just a grafter. Lynch did not get his fair share of off loads this year, he hardly offloads but like I suggested he is a workhorse who makes good metres & tackles well, also note I am not discussing years gone by I am discussing his performance in a black & white shirt, and for the record I have nothing but admiration for players like Lynch, he is solid.

In Ellis we have captured one of the top 10 players on the planet simple as that and anyone who believes otherwise needs to bang their head

I'm banging my head.

Top 10 back rowers or top 10 players.

Slater, Tomkins, Inglis, Thurston, Roby, Barba, Sam Burgess, Brett Morris, Benji, Shaun Johnson, Thaiday, Hock, Cameron Smith, to name a few better than Ellis.

Well see next season mate
My list can't be too bad if you've only picked 1 player better than Ellis

I will admit Slater, Tomkins, Inglis, Thurston, Roby, Barba, Burgess, Morris, Johnson, Smith are great players but Thaiday and Hock i don't agree with Thaiday is a good player but i just don't believe he is better than Ellis same applies to Hock. Thats just my opinion.

Surely no top ten list is complete without Cory Paterson's name on it.

The claim was Ellis was in the top 10 players in the world, not Cory Paterson, so get off your high horse pal
