I thought the same, I tuned in to see what all the fuss was about
and hardly so him in some of the games.

Now I can sit back a wait for the abuse.

No abuse, but you might like to consider how long it takes to get back to your best after a major injury.

You might well be right. Come next season we all will know one way or the other. You might also by the start of next season said something positive about Hull, on the other hand maybe not.

Do these Rovers trolls not understand that the NRL is a miles better standard than SL?

Manu is a great SL player, but would look no were near as good in the NRL.

Rovers best player, couldn't even get a get a game in a poor NRL team when he was there.

I'm not at all surprised you're saying this.

And the phrase you're looking for is "washed up".

He had a lengthy injury and only had 6 games to play he was never gonna be at full match fitness in those games.



he got player of the year 3 times in a row for a nrl team
he has to be at the very least a very good player?

look at heremaia he was well of the pace for the 1st few games but he's looking miles better now

Iam not saying ellis hasn't been a terrific player,but everybody has a sell by date and I do believe on the evidence of the end of the season,ellis looked a shadow of his former self. Manu seems to have improved with age and as somebody posted the ideal situation would be to have them both,but IMO out of the 2 I would prefer manu.Iam aware the standard in the NRL is higher which is even more credit to ellis in the fact he was player of the year in front of quality like marshall,but bad injuries in the latter stage of your career can be the beginning of the end.!

talk us through your recruitment, please, I could do with a laugh.

in fact, make it a farce and talk about your retention and salary cap too.

envious troll, nothing more.
