Brill news still one of the best in the game

Re: ELLIS : Wed Apr 20, 2016 12:30 pm  

Great news, on the pitch still one of the best in SL.

Only slight negative is Ellis time on the pitch played about 60% of games last year and about the same so far this year, he will be on a big salary (although took a pay cut last season).

We are desperate for another half and possible another centre, so I hope with the signing of Ellis and Mini we still have some money left over.

Whiting already gone
Think michaels will go
Pryce will
Feka will
Probably yeaman
Houghton ten years in so half his salary be gone

There is a very good half in that money

Great news on Ellis, up there with our best in my time.
On the subject of Micheals I personally believe that he has been outstanding for us even though his wing has been targeted quite often to good effect.

I think we should release all the players you've listed as there's no room for sentiment. We also need to reduce the age of the squad. Michaels has done well but we should be looking for better with his quota place.

Even with upgrades we should be looking at a significant amount left on the cap maybe £250k? Speculation I know.

Good point about Houghton.

On my wish list is a quality NRL centre and hopefully Brough. I don't think they'll be many additions as we already have good depth.

Hadley next to be signed up imo

Re: ELLIS : Wed Apr 20, 2016 2:32 pm  

Brilliant news. Made my day to know he's here for at least another year. Whatever we're paying him he earns every penny.

Re: ELLIS : Wed Apr 20, 2016 2:52 pm  

Leader on and off the field , Even at 34 I still think he's one of the best second rows in SL . Pleased with the news .

Wouldnt surprise me to see Michaels offered an extension to his contract.
Well liked and respected by the club and hid team mates.
Gets undeserved flack from some on here for trying to cover up others mistakes.
I hope he stays
