Of course, he just looked a real threat every time he got the ball in the Halifax half.

I thought he was rubbish. Seemed to have a great deal of difficulty in finding the full back with his kicks. agar will need to do a lot of work on that aspect of his game with help from obst and horne

cant wait for agar to get his hands on him

like i say ridyard is really good at championship level and i would be very suprised if he dosent get a super league contract.

Thought he looked good, mainly in the 2nd half when the Leigh pack got on top. Exactley what we are missing with his long and short kicking game, not one of his long kicks went straight into the the back three, also very dangerous with his short kicks.

Seems to have decent defence and good with the ball in hand, get him Ft training next year and he could be excellent addition to the squad and hopefully follow in the footsteps of Long and brough who move had to take a step back to realise their potential.

Also thought Chris Hill looked great, the best player on the pitch IMO, with Ft training and a top coach he could be one hell of a player.

Signed for Wire.

Will no doubt turn him from a decent scrum half with a good kicking game to a ball carrying forward

Isn't Seymour a natural 6 who can also play 7? Think at some point next year we will see Seymour at 6 and Ellis at 7. Competition for places can only be a good thing, provided Agar picks his team based on form and not reputation.

I know thats why I said working with a good coach (smith) he could be a great player.

Saying that David Mills (one of the worst SL props I have seen) looked pretty good so it shows the difference in standards.

Yes he is, and that's exactly how I'd go for next season. Unfortunately, this won't happen.

Must admit I thought the worst when we signed Mills as he'd been dreadful whenever I've seen him, but we play to his strengths and he's been an absolute revelation. Last chance saloon and all that.

horne will be at 6, unfortunatly....with seymour at 7...the mind boggles at times

no doubt that we will start the season with horne and seymour and rightly so i feel but if ellis can have a really good pre season impress in 1 or 2 friendlies and horney or seymour are not playing to a high level then ellis should come straight in

Has he ever done that though?

There have been times when I've thought it's been done with a magic 8-ball.

Signs point to yes.

Was that to the question "Will I get a contract extension if I make the playoffs?"?

Better not tell you now.

I think you may be surprised. Agar is thinking of arranging an extra friendly (depite hating them) to give this combo a good chance to gel and start the season strongly

Agar is thinking of playing Ellis at 7 and Seymour at 6? I don't think he is.

if he can lose a stone he looks a cracking player

Get him a bike and send him to me for a month and I'll get a stone off him or he'll die trying...

Well watch this space......

I hope you're right.
