Wtf?

Ogre was outstanding in his first season. I thought his performances dropped slightly last year after Willie Mason arrived

Did they improve again after he left ? (quickly)

Done deal he is coming to Hull



The connections between were he is now and Hull are to strong.
Sydney harbour bridge we have the Humber bridge,
Bondi Beach we have Withernsea,
the gold coast we have the Humber coast and the North Sea.
West Tigers we have our own Tigers at the KC,
it would be home from home.

Wtf?.

You should be banned for posting after this rubbish!!!

Not. He went off the boil and never quite got back to his high standards. He has started well this year, and I think 1 more year after this would be about right

I don't see how anyone can view signing someone, who if they came would likely be the best player in our team, as anything but positive for a club.
Let Pearson, McRae et al worry about navigating the cap, I'm sure they understand the intricacies better than us anyway. (well they do me for one). I'm also sure they'll understand other areas need strengthening, along with Gentle, and make plans to do so. I can't imagine, if the ellis signing came off, the 3 of them would stand back, congratulate each other and think "that's us done then, we've arrived".

Aren't some people overstating just how good Ellis is? There's no doubt he's an excellent player, but I don't think he's any better than, say, Stephen Kearney was when he came to us. If Ellis would cost considerably more than Kearny (dunno if that's the case, though the tone of this thread seems to suggest it is), then I don't think it would make sense to sign him.

Signing quality english players is very important now, with the raising of the salary cap your top class aussies are going to watch silly money

the thing about eliis is, 1. he's a TOP player no doubt, 2. he's ENGLISH and as far as im concerned top english palyers are like gold dust for a team like us, youve only got to look at the england national team to realise that the best english players all play for the top teams......3.he'll go to the highest bidder on a 3 year deal.....
would be a great siging for a club like us, , the kearney siginng propelled us to CC victory and i have no doubt that he also brought the young kids on with his proffesionalism and attitude etc.... as im sure ellis would if we could sign him

I'm not saying he wouldn't be an excellent signing, but I think we should be wary of getting into a bidding war and paying over the odds.

Why should i be banned? Im Stating my opinion.

I think ogre came over with a reputation but tbh i didn't rate him at first. my opinion is stated on fitzy's stand out performances an i expected more from ogre, yes i will admit ogre did have his good games and big hits.5

but now were finally seeing the best of him.

This...

Not sure I agree, Fitz & Orgre have different roles, I admired Fitz work ethic however he rarely bust a tackle!! A few weeks ago I would not have particularly wanted to resign O'Meley as he was quiet back end of last season and started making a lot of errors, he never started this season with a bang either, however the last few weeks he appears to be getting back into some form, if he maintains this I will be happy if he resigns.

If it's between Leeds and hull there won't be a bidding war, GH will not pay over the top and generally wouldn't get involved in one.

From pre season Leeds are under cap this year (don't know by how much) but was stated in Pre season we had funds for a extra player if one was available. I think whoever get him will have a quality player

No lose situation for Hull, if they get him then we sign a World Class player on and off the field.

If we don't sign him we still have a quality backrow and can us the money elsewhere.

Not Huddersfield according to their local paper - between us and Leeds www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield- ... -30566443/

Still think it will be Leeds.

Interesting that some clubs weren't allowed to speak to Ellis.

Rovers have thrown their hat in



Maybe they offered him a chance to train infront of a paying crowd

He'll go to Leeds.

I think you are right, but his agent was at the KC again on Sunday and I wouldnt underestimate the influence our new owners have. Leeds have a new coaching set up and that may influence his decision to look elsewhere.

His dad has been telling Leeds fans he has signed for Leeds for some time now.
