I think the fact a pom is getting any praise from the ockers says it all!!

1 tackle bust and only 13 carries? Granted the metres per carry are good, but it's hardly Gorden Tallis with ball in hand is it?

No, but how many Gorden Tallis are in the NRL these days?

You got me wondering so I thought I would spend a bit of time out of my day checking .

Here are the running stats of all the starting 2nd rows in the NRL this weekend. Ellis came in 4th so it wasnt too bad. Ben Creagh is a beast too so not surprised at him. Some good players well below Ellis though. Lets see if he can back it up for the next month.

Thanks for the reiteration

Yeah, i just realised it had already been posted about afterwards...

Ellis got the player's player award as well.

Bloody hell... he must be showing up well then! Wonder how his starts were compared to other starting 2nd Rows this weekend?

TVOC??

Not my area of interest but I'll see what I can come up with.
