Yes yes yes , But it's that final ' fine tuning ' at the mighty Leeds Rhino's that has really made him who he is

OK mate.

More evidence that you are a clueless buffoon!

aaand he's gone all quiet has ol' Dally

I doubt we need MORE evidence really.

castleford lock lane is a castleford junior side



if wakeys idea of a junior is pinching a player developed by cas well that shows why they shouldnt be in SL.

hmm noo, The idea of bringing a player through your academy system makes them your junior.

Where you played amateur rugby at 11 years old makes diddly squat

2/10 very poor efffort, must try harder.

Tigers equiv of Quins? Quins won a premiership in the last few years?



Not taking anything away from Ellis, but...



Only one player per club was to be picked. Captiains and Vice Captains of NZ and Aus were picked automatically.



Therefore:

Marshall who would have been the tigers fan pick was an automatic inclusion

Farah who would have polled second didnt really have a chance as his position hooker was taken by australian vice captain Cameron smith

Ellis is your tigers Bradbury. But I am happy for him to make the squad, bringing more of international feel to the game.

Smith , then all these will have helped him develop as a player along with his parents , family , fellow players and any coaches he has played under



All these people along with Gareth himself are responsible for his success



To try to pick out any single one is totally stupid , it is a collective of his life so far that has made him the person and the player he is



Well done Gareth

Charming.

If he wants to behave like an Are sole , then he should expect to be reffered to as an are sole , simple really

thats wakey in SL!

read the thread. wakey fans were claiming him as their own and praising their club



saying hes one of their own is as accurate as saying theyll get a new ground anytime soon



ie its not accurate (some of you guys are too thick to understand irony so ill put in subtitles to help you)

rights to claim Gareth Ellis as a product of thier club



Yes he has had many other influences that has made him the player he is , but he is a product of the Wakefield academy , he played there in his most formative years

its a small part of his career

Nailed it right on the head .

Well done Gaz

Dally. Roosters half, Mitchell Pearce.



Who's he a product of?

Hindy, I was just talking off the top of my head, West Tigers are a mid table club at best and had that one memorable year in 2005 where a lot of things fell their way and they became the most unexpected winners in about 2 life times.

In 10 years they have made the finals just once 2005 where they came 4th.

I agree with the comments you make regarding Ellis selection, it was him Tuiaki or an unknown.

his dad junior and his mum

hoho,



but what's the answer?

You don't expect Dally to answer where hard facts are concerned





Ellis has spent more time attached to the Wakefield club than any other and as such they deserve the greater pat on the back - the idea that Wakey stole him for Cas is not quite correct - nothing new there from dally - Cas did not make him an offer as Raper - another useless Aussie thankfully departed from our game - was not interested in youth development. So if Wakey had not picked him up he could have been lost to the game.

For Wigan maybe, but not in the eyes of most Cas fans, saved us from almost certain relegation and then took us to within 80 mins of a Grand Final appearance.



Taken from Wikipedia:-

he played his juniors for a balmain junior club



then went to norths



and then went to easts



if so balmain junior first id say.
