Well see next season mate
My list can't be too bad if you've only picked 1 player better than Ellis  |

I will admit Slater, Tomkins, Inglis, Thurston, Roby, Barba, Burgess, Morris, Johnson, Smith are great players but Thaiday and Hock i don't agree with Thaiday is a good player but i just don't believe he is better than Ellis same applies to Hock. Thats just my opinion. |

Surely no top ten list is complete without Cory Paterson's name on it. |

Thaiday is better than Ellis imo.
I'd say Thaiday, Ellis, Lewis are the top 3 back rowers in the world.

Tony Williams? David Taylor? Anthony Watmough?
Ellis is without doubt in the top 10, but I definatly don't think he's in the top 3. |

T-Rex is great but not as good as those thre,, Dave Taylor I prefer at prop and Watmough is lethal in attack but poor in defence. Like I said the three I mention are the top three in the world imo. |

Whether or not Ellis is in the top ten backrowers in the world I don't know (and to be honest I really don't care). What I do know is, he is a quality player and I'm delighted that he'll be wearing B&W next season.

Paul Gallen is the best back rower in the world, easily.

No?
I love impact. I've no idea what having impact is, but I love it. |

Ellis won't be playing against the likes of Thaiday, Lewis, Slater,Smith, Cronk, etc.
So if it means only been the best back rower (or top 3) in Super League, then that's definitely good enough for me.

Most NRL 13's are nowadays, he is as tough as I've seen (and that goes back to the 70's). |

| Quote ="Raggytash"Rather than a highlights package, I have watched every single game Ellis has played for Wests this season. There is nothing "awesome" about his attack, and he is nowhere near the player Manu is with ball in hand. I like Ellis, and think he's a great signing, but most of you are heavily deluded as Hull fans are with most players we sign. He is a workhorse who will top the tackle count. We are losing 2 impact forwards, and haven't replaced either yet in my opinion.'"
As Hull fans we,ve all been fortunate to see some sparkling performances from Manu and are gutted he's leaving but i don,t think the NRL clubs rate him as highly as you,whereas Ellis would be a target for most IMO |

Oh, I'm not doubting his quality. He's clearly one of the best forwards in the business. I just wouldn't include him in the comparison of back rowers as he plays as a prop whether he wears 10 or 13. |

Players who make lots of tackle busts and line breaks but can't play many mintues due to size, usually suspect defense around the ruck. |

Fatties then?
I'm going to call them George Rosettes from now on.
Each club needs a George Rosette coming off the bench. |

He certainly wasn't, Manu was. Stevo was just trying to be funny saying he was going to buy Eorl a bottle of wine for his effort in the game. |
