Well done lad.

He can't have done. Barry McKenzie and League Freak say he's crap!

He'll never make it over there will he!

Well done!

Can't wait to hear them try and get round this

Maybe he was the best of a bad bunch

They're nowt them convicts

...and in one sentence sums up why GB / England have failed against Australia for 30 years

"When I arrived at Wests Tigers, I came in awe of some of the players that I now play alongside," Ellis said

The day the players believe that are good enough is the day England will win... in sport, confidence is everything

That article says everything that LF says reguarly. Average player. (Best of a team that didn't make the finals has to be a definition of average). Ellis himself talks about how much better the players are over there and how much he has learnt since being there. Isn't that what LF says about Ellis?

Wests Tigers are crap and Ellis was mediocre this season; they are on a downward spiral and it is easy to shine in that team etc etc

I think it's fantastic that Wests Tigers have done this!!

My ex girlfriend had a little boy who had learning difficulties. Lovely kid but really couldn't get to grips with reading and writing. As a result of this his school work suffered, other kids bagged him out all the time and he was pretty fed up with life. This in turn affected his behaviour at home and things got a little stressed from time to time

Then he was diagnosed with Dyslexia. And do you know... it was the best thing that could have happened. He understood that it was not HIS FAULT that he had learning difficulties. He attended extra classes for one on one coaching. His grades improved. He became the happy little boy that he used to be.

When I first came to London the little tacker wrote me a letter. Sure there were spelling mistakes...thats understandable. But I could tell how proud he was when he told me that they had awarded him the most improved pupil at school and given him a lovely certificate which the head teacher presented to him in front of the school.

So I'm really pleased for Ellis that they have decided to do the same thing.

Wests have gone up a notch in my book.

It's all about helping people out.

I take my hat off to Tim Sheens for this one

4/10

Must try harder

Also in very poor taste.

Thats exactly what the little tackers teachers used to say to him.

I really wish they researched things a bit better before making unfounded comments.

Poor kid had a rough trot until his Dyslexia was confirmed.


I still think its great Wests have a similar thing to try and improve their players confidence. I'm serious. I might even have Wests as my second favourite team after this.

Great stuff.

Barry is doing his best to convinve us that austrtalians dont have the ability to recognise such concepts, or do there own shoe laces for that matter.

James???

He was a far better player than Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah.

No...really!

great news, and well deserved. he has been sensational for us this year, and will only get better next year. not a bad effort too considering the year that players such as farah, benji marshall, tim moltzen, taniela tuaki and todd payten had.

I wonder if the Tigers had to pick among them players to keep....where Ellis would be.

And by that I mean what club would he end up at after the Tigers punted him!

I think the Celtic Crusaders might suit a man of Mr Ellis's calibre!!!!










If he improved a bit

You can spot typoes

your far more intelligent than i credited you for, your still stupid but not as stupid as i thought.

You do know Einstein was a dyslexic.

Always knew Ellis was a genius that the over blown chumps like Benji marshall could ever aspire to be...

Wests missed out the playoffs by a single point.
Average player? You should have watched more NRL this year.
Third best second rower in the Dally M awards.

So were Whoopi Goldberg, Richard Branson and the Fonz.

And just like Mr Ellis none of them are known for their abilities to play footy either.

So why didnt they win player of the year olol

See page one of this thread.

I admire Tim Sheens for doing what he did, he is clearly a superb man manager and I take my hat off to him.


Sometimes encouraging the poorer players in your side can help them a bit

ellis form in his first year has been brilliant

his attacking game is developing with the tigers now using him as a wide runner with an offload.

could well be rated better than morley by the time he leaves.

certainly better than Moz in their first years.
