Quote ="leythkeith"Ellis and Hill have earned SL contracts and are young but weather they will make there respective new clubs 17 on a regular basis the jury is still out for me.
I thought Ellis was easily marshalled at both Fev and Sheff in the big games and Hilly for me will have to put on weight and step up to another level for my money. I would imagine if fit Morley and Carvell will be first choice next term (tho it may be Morleys last) and i know Woody is also in the twighlight but Mike Cooper is a good option and proven in SL now and i know Tony sees Solomana, Harrison and Westwood as potential front row options as well as rumours of a Aussie import to stiffen up the front row so it wont be easy.
Both stand out championship players but the step is a big one and for me Hilly is fragile having taken bad injuries to shoulders early in his career and not the biggest prop in the world. Dont think he will be away long.'"
Hilly is 6 foot 3 and 17.5 stone, how big do you want a prop forward to be? He had a standard shoulder op over 3 years ago, so if that makes him fragile then 90% of the forwards in SL are in the same position. Cooper isnt in the same class as Hilly and with Morley as his mentor he will go from strength to strength.
