I've got to disagree with that. For me Aiton is one of the best hookers in Super League.

Re: Andy Ellis : Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:42 pm  

Aiton is an incredible player, not seen anyone hit players like he does since Gaz Ellis in 2004. The mans a beast, the way he paggered Sam Tomkins then Lauiaki at belle view was worth the admission alone.

Re: Andy Ellis : Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:44 pm  

No pleasing WTW fans. This time last year we had naff all, Aiton is a brilliant 9 & now we're weeping over the loss of Ellis.

Ellis is ok in my book, did a job when Paul was injured, but I'd be far more upset if the talk of Aiton retiring came to fruition!

Says a lot about Ellis's ambition.

Very true, we managed to cobble together a team from nothing. To be honest, with what Agar has done with the team so far, I trust his judgement on this one. Grand scheme of things and all that.

Re: Andy Ellis : Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:52 pm  

Aiton is honestly the best 9 ive seen down at belle vue. Cant get over how such a small bloke can cream players so easy. Really looking forward to seeing him play again next year.

Re: Andy Ellis : Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:57 pm  

Gutted at losing Ellis, would much rather he started 9 and Aiton provided the impact off the bench. He is a great distributor and tackler in the middle of the park and did an outstanding job for us. Don't understand what Agar is thinking here, Ellis played well and had the shirt, should have been wood to go I'm afraid. I think there's a lot to be said by the fact that when he left the pitch after 25-30 mins at Headingley the Rhinos had scored 0 and not looked overly threatening!

Re: Andy Ellis : Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:04 pm  

No disrespect to Andy cos i think he has done a cracking job for us, but why has he gone to fev. Why hasnt any other Super League teams gone in for him.

Yet it was Sykes who fell off the tackle of Watkins resulting in Rhinos try - Ellis being on the field would have changed that how?

Re: Andy Ellis : Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:49 pm  

There is also the rumoured capture of Scott Murrell who although not his natural position has operated at hooker for HKR in the past.

Not overly happy about Ellis going, but it all depends on what comes in. If the overall squad at the start of next season is all the better for it then so be it. Who are we to doubt RA after his achievements so far?
