Agree Ellis dominated over here and in Ozz Think he is in the all time greats

One thing that Gareth had was a determination to succeed and he put the work in for his achievements.

I agree with a lot of posts on here that Pratt is playing better than Ellis did in his breakthrough centre years. It’s exciting to have a centre with potential like Pratt. If he continues to work hard he will no doubt be one of the top centres in SL in a couple of short years. Said it before but he’s got the legs and agility of a young lad but the head of an experienced centre the way he plays. Hes a powerful lad too. Clearly working hard and long may that continue. Another thing I noticed, even against seasoned players is he’s not afraid to give them some backchat. He’s tough as nails is Pratt. Can’t see him not being first choice as it stands. I don’t know why but he reminds me a little of Karl Pratt who played at bulls/Leeds and for Great Britain. Tough as nails.

Oli looks to me like a modern Paul Newlove. So many similarities. But Gareth in 03 was unstoppable in the centres. In a really bad side. It's a close call. I'm looking forward to seeing Oli in Super League.
