| Quote ="Gaslight"That is because Stuart Raper said he would never make it as an RL player when he was 16, which is why he said it was sweet.
It's also coincidently why he rejected Wigan the first time they offered for him (because Raper was the coach at the time).
The only way he would play for Wakefield again is if they broke the bank to sign him.
He is indeed enjoying his time over there, he loves the lifestyle and how the Rugby is played. He is just missing his family a bit, which could be where this rumour came from.'"
You sound like his agent. What are you like on pop music

Another post lacking in any fact at all, not even a slight jot.
Does your brain hurt when you type?
3 respectable posters on here, oh well, its 2 more than the Cas forum.

| no truth in the rumour at all,gareth and his girlfriend had a personal problem when they first arrived in australia but that is now behind them and they are both happy building a new life in australia.
for the record gareths family are castleford fans and go to most home games and yes it has been a childhood dream of his to play for castleford,whether that ever happens is anyones guess but if i was castleford id be breaking the bank to bring him to castleford when his wests deal is up.

Both you and Gaslight pushing your normal halfbaked truth. Like most players Ellis doesn't really support any team, even as a child he didn't go and watch Cas and I doubt it was ever his dream - more like your wet dream - says it all really. He grew up in Selby by the way which isn't part of the peoples republic of Castleford.
Players end up in club Academies for all kinds of reasons, home town alliegence usually plays no part - not in the real world anyway.
He hasn't broken his anything and according to LE had a good game v the Dragons. Ellis is not the sort to throw the towel in IMHO and will see out his contract.
If he does return to the UK it will be to the club who offers him the deal he wants - that could be anyone.

Shows how much you know doesn't it? he played and lived in Cas until he was a teenager and was a Cas season ticket holder right up until he signed for Wakefield.
In fact, this shows how much a Cas fan he was back then: the game v St Helens in the playoffs he was stood with the Cas fans & joined in with the 20 minute barmy army chant.
He signed for Wakefield because Stuart Raper said he would never make it as a professional player - so Cas didn't even take an interest in him.
TRB knows how I know all this, so I don't need to explain my self to vastypants or anyone like that.
Braytontiger also seems to know the same things about him as I do so I'll have to ask him about it because I might in fact know him too
But there again, I wouldn't expect you to believe anything, but that doesn't bother me at all.

What a load of fantasist crap, I really think you may be ill. So you're a real player - yet another in the know person - I am not worthy - really.
So you have spun TRB a line, I'll be sure to ask him when I ring him back tomorrow

half baked truth,you are having a laugh arnt you.it must be somebody imposing has gareths dad and uncle,kenny his dad and greame his uncle are lifetime friends of my family, my parents hepled gareth move into his new home in balmain whilst over for the world cup a trip they have made four times with the ellis`s and his agent david howes.
i have spent many a time in their company and again your right gareth wasnt brought up castleford they are originally from allerton bywater and gareth would have spent his early years watching his dad play at doncaster, but has a rule other than when they have followed gareth around the globe they get to has many cas games has possible.
the one major factor for gareth not coming to cas would be ryan mcgoldrick has he hates the fella.either way if you read my post again i never said he was signing for cas and i have my doubts he will ever come home full stop the biggest draw for gareth coming home would be missing his mum and sister.

| i,m sure this will be shot down but... as i work as a bookseller and am also a big rugby league fan, when jamie peacock came to sign his autobiography in our branch i was asked to run the event which meant chatting alone with him for a fair while. anyway... when i told him i was a cas fan he said i would be pleased to know that gareth ellis is hoping to finish his career at cas when he returns from the nrl, and that ellis is a massive cas fan. i reckon vastman will retort that either i am lying or jamie peacock was pulling my leg, but...

Tackles 671 536
Offloads 30 21
Tackle Busts 45 68
Clean Breaks 10 31

I knowthey say stats don't tell the true story but they certainly make interesting reading. Would be nice to have them both!
