Sad he is not going to be our rock on the field next year but everyone's playing time has to come to an end delighted he is staying with us in a great role where he has a lot of potential, he is very respected throughout the game even in Australia and I'm sure he can bring in players and sell the club while managing cap issues and helping the coaching staff and current players Masterstroke by the club again hope we can end his career on the biggest stage

Nowt wrong with a man crush.
I would go tongues with our Captain if he manages to get his hands on the CC again, and you may even admit you got things [ibadly badly wrong.[/i

Ellis must be about the only modern player to be held in the highest regard by fans of four teams who he played for. For a guy who at one stage looked like being one of those too slow for centre/too small for a second row types, he's done pretty well...

I remember when he signed for us a Wests fan post absolutely eulogising about him, but even with all the plaudits before he arrived few FC fans could have believed what he together with Radford would achieve in terms of transforming the leadership of the playing side of things. He often says he wasn't the most talented player but what defines him is his refusal to give less than 100% whether at training or on game day. No better role model, I hope his legacy lives long at our club.

Got to admit, when he got injured in the warm up in his debut for us against Leeds I thought we'd signed another over the hill sicknote. I obviously couldn't have been any more wrong. What a player, what a man.

I really hope we can win a trophy for the guy this year, no-one deserves it more. I once met him and he thanked me for being an FC fan.

Going to be a big loss on the field but I am sure he will be even bigger for the club off it.
