Beast

You saw against Rovers and now against Widnes how they back off him slightly which i see as a mixture of respect and being scared of his forocity

Great footwork too from a big fella.

haha, loved it when people said he was lazy and a poor signing, say again?

The difference of us being top 8 is one gareth ellis,one of the finest forwards this country has produced.
Awesome in attack and defence,and an inspirational leader,radford will get the credit for the clubs revival,but gareth ellis returning from injury is the reason for our revival,it puts into perspective how injurys can make or break your season.Long may he stay fit. COYH.

On the contrary, Radford will got no credit for the revival and he has already acknowledged things are changing due to having his best players available.

both derserve credit imo

Top top player. We need him to stay fit I feel we are completely different team with him in

We both know that,but when you've clearly tried to belittle the coach of the club you're supposed to support like some have it must be hard.
After last nights match it was clear our senior players are with the coach.

I've seen players make bigger and more spectacular hits but is there any player out there who consistently tackles like a sledgehammer over and over again...BOOM!
How many players did he leave grounded or slow to get up in the Widnes game, the man is a beast and undoubtedly one of the best second rowers to wear the mighty black and white jersey

Ill honestly say i thought ellis was in the downward spiral, struggling for consistency and hamperd by injuries, i thought performances like thursdays were a thing of the past, but what an outstanding performance by him and minichello aswell, whos becoming not only a fans favourite but looks a truelly outstanding buy by the club... great work ethic, and professional. .. the mans a machine... afew more performances like that and who knows........... and steevo was saying ben currie could be man of steel!!!! The mans a bafoon

He's been epic for us since he signed for anyone paying any attention
Was a disaster what happened to him before debut at Headingley but when on the park has never let us down.
Let's be honest, if anybody is entitled to pick up knocks then it's him because of the way he plays the game.
Still the best second rower in SL bar none.

He looks better because the players around him are playing better. Since he joined he's pretty much carried the pack so it's good that he's getting some support and we're better for it

Absolutely.

So..... your saying i dont pay attention? ??? I saw the man dazzle for wests afew years ago, the man plyed like he did on thursday nearly every week for 2 years.....all im saying its not as often, and i thought them days were going..... but not for one minute am i dissing him, top top player imo

Radford gets a lot of credit from me for the change in playing style we've seen. Takes a lot of character, IMO.

Must help things.

CLASS

Is Ellis out of contract at the end of the year and if so does anyone know if the club are in talks with him to extend his stay at the KC?

...contracted until the end of 2016.

You can almost visibly see the team lift when he is on the pitch.

I also think that although Mini is a good player in his own right, playing alongside Ellis has brought the best out in him, there was nowhere to hide and only his absolute best every game would be good enough otherwise Ellis would have made him look very average.
We may well look back in 10 years as the Ellis signing being the key to long lasting change at our club.

Our very own Eric Cantona?!

Mini has being the sniz all season, Radford's best signing for me (& that includes Pryce who has really stepped up) I don't agree though that he needs/needed Ellis to do the business, to my mind I think he's a MoS coontender.

Unless we finish the season well and are in the final play-offs , think he'll get over looked. Depends I suppose, who makes the decision these days?

Pretty sure its the players that vote on it.

If that's still the case, Mini could have a chance, so could Ellis, all depend if we continue this good form and make the 8. And stay injury free
