the story i read in a RL magazine in oz specified what it was.

either way an international player doesnt know something most australian 16 years old do.

thats not a good thing for international RL.

well we'll just hjave to see how he goes in the nrl.
i personally think he'll do well and will be a one of the better forwards next year if not this.
id like to see more british lads over in the nrl, even if its only on loan.

ellis will do very well in SL and have an impact like morleys

and more players should come here for the good of international RL.

amen to that

So we can all learn how to bottle it in the WC final whilst playing NZ?

make your mind up

poor reading spud

i put the nrl well ahead of internationals.

but that doesnt mean i dont want it to do well.

catch up spud

england have decades of experience at that

No we have a very good record against the Kiwis.

It's already been pointed out to you on another thread that Tim Sheens did not say that Ellis can't tackle. What he actually referred to was his understanding of the defensive patterns which Sheens uses. Therefore it's got absolutely f*ck all to do with basic skills, and everything to do with Ellis learning to operate in new types of defensive systems. Yet you (and Chorley Freak) seem completely unable to grasp this.

Have you ever actually watched a game of rugby league?
