Hated it (on paper), will be interesting to see it in action.

Impossible to implement over here. We can't find seven for SL let alone fourteen.

What is it with these Aussies, twice as many refs and now twice as many subs.

If i had a contract from Castleford or a contract from Syndey knowing i'd possibly end up there then i know which id be signing!

Good luck to the lad, even training with the Sydney 1st team can only benifit Leeds if he returns.

All Sheens said was that he has had to teach him the basics in reading defensive structures that he would have assumed a 27 year old International would have know already. He has always stated that Ellis would start though. He's thier star signing this off season and has really impressed in the trials.
My comment was tongue in cheek but Sheens went a bit further than that. As well as commenting on how poor he reads defence he also said.

Quote:You're not looking for him to be involved as a ball player. He can play with the ball – he's certainly going to add to our game – but it's a three-year deal and he will build over that period."

"I don't want supporters thinking that he's going to score three tries a game and set-up three."

"We see him as a very good strike player on the right-hand side and we're giving him time to settle in on patterns of play and calls and getting to know the guys."

"He's going to have teething problems but nothing great – the kid can play


I actually agree wit much of what Sheens says. Ellis did virtually nothing offensively during his Leeds career and did fly out of defence a lot. Having said that it speaks volumes for our game that he was the best British 2nd rower around. :cry:






Quote:Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

Klein's emigration has put paid to this idea for me. Until that happened I was relishing the prospect of his & Ganson's unique comedy double act taking charge of a bulls' game.
