I guess Ellis must be a quick learner then if he's been able to rectify all the alleged weaknesses and shortcomings he had ( according to his coach)when he arrived from the UK.
Good luck to him I hope he succeeds over there.

Just shows how poor the NRL must be when a player who can't do "the basics" gets into the team.






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.

Nice bit of over exagerating there you two :lol:

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.

The coach is right, Ellis took a few wrong options on defence during the World Cup, something that he will be coached out of in Oz. Front on there's not many better tacklers in the game, teach him some decision making and you've got a world class player IMO.

I'd like to see his attacking skills improve while he's over there. He never did enough with the ball at Leeds IMO.

Spot on. Just because Ellis was a hard worker at Leeds and made some big hits doesn't make him a great defender. Look at his proportion of missed tackles - only marginally better than McGuire last season. Not sure if this reflects poorly on Ellis or well on McGuire though :wink:

McGuire's defence is underrated.

I agree. Statistically it is more than twice as good as Long and Briers for example. I can't think of many occasions when he has been at fault for opposition scores.
