| It would be a long-shot, but I am glad we are showing an interest.
Ellis is a genuine world class player, and signings like him will show a big signal of intent.

| Ellis is world class and therefore of course we should throw our hat into the ring.
I just hope we find out where he is bound soon rather this story dragging on for months.

If his agent does his job properly a long-drawn out bidding war will commence. Just look at how long Willie Mason's agent dragged out his move to the UK!

| I'd love us to sign ellis but think that the cost of him would mean even more compromises in the squad than we already have. It will take another 3 years for us to get more balance for the salary cap spend. In all honesty, we have the weakest squad of any team spending at, or near, the cap. There must be some players on much inflated contracts when you look at the quality of players we have compared to other teams

| Think we have a good chance if gentle wants him . Pearson will want to make a statement and there's always ways round the salary cap . Not all his wages after go on the cap . Think you can count cas out , remember Morley saying he wanted to play for Salford while in aus , but money talks and all players see the pound signs .

| A dream, but good to have a world class rumour on the table. Even if it's a bit early for the 2013 season of promise rhetoric.

| I'd love us to sign Ellis but I'm not sure we'll have enough salary cap to do it given our other needs. If Moa & O'Meley are gone we'll need replacements. Our right side desperately needs sorting out. If we do all that on the cheap so we can land Ellis we might end up worse off overall. I hope Adam & co can pull a rabbit out of the hat but I'm not expecting any miracles.

8. O'Meley 2012 (keep or like for like)
17. Sam Moa 2012 (keep)

I recon Manu will stay, but if Moa goes (imho) we would need to pay more to replace him.
How many players wages might need upgrading?

Add a quality No.6 to that list of needed players for 2013 and also the fact that we are already at least one forward light. Our salary cap doesn't seem to go very far at all
Something certainly seems amiss.

Peason said he would never take that route.

Good.
I'd be happy to sacrifice Whiting, Aspinwall, Turner and Burnett for Ellis, we might even need the spare 60k.

| I think we have too many weaknesses in our squad that need addressing before we go splashing a load of resource on one star (and knocking on a little) player. He would be a fantastic addition to any team but this can't be at the expense of the squad as a whole IMO

Have to agree if we sign him fantastic, will be a great addition to the squad, but if he goes elsewhere it isn't that big a deal as we have a very good back row already.
If he was a right or Standoff then it would be different.
Would be a waste but if was in Hull's squad now and everyone was fit I'd play him right centre.

Could you see us signing another 6 with Horne still contracted?

After watching both games he has played in, I've been quiet impressed, certainly one of the few highlights on the Salford game (at least in first half).
So far in his 2 games he has scored 2 tryrs and has 2 assists, not to bad.
Also been very impressed with his defence, which is a bonus.

I would, if either a top 6 or 7 becomes available.
Could play Horne is the right position.
Still quiet hopeful of Ellis.

| Still early days but not a fan so far tbh. Most of the plays now seem to be going to our right which is effect our week side because of the way he plays which is a waste our most potent strike players plus we just dont look cohesive as a unit. Our best performance so far was against Warrington which just happens to be when he wasnt playing.
