Quote ="VerbalKint"One of the biggest disapointments for me has being Gareth Ellis. The guy was supposed to be the marque signing the guy we could have built a team around for the next 2-3 years, the leader on and off the pitch. But for me he has being anything but.
The success of our club in the 80's was built around the signing of Knocker, the 2005/2006 team was Swain. I thought Ellis would have being that type of player but he hasn't. If he was any sort of leader we wouldn't have had the performances like last Thursday. All great teams are built around great players, more recently Leeds have had Sinfield, Wigan, Tompkins. Ellis certainly hasn't delivered on the pitch for the money we must have tied up in him.
Real shame about Gentle was a top bloke but we need a leader on the pitch.'"
Do you think there could be other reasons behind the downturn in form of Ellis. You dont get player of the year for 3 years running in the NRL then come home and be crap all of a sudden...was there a split in the camp for the Pro Gentle and the anti Gentle players?...I think there is deeper issues than anyone is aware of!!!!
