Great signing. Don't see back row as a priority but world class players don't agree to sign for your club every week so you have to take them when the opportunity arises. Hopefully we will keep manu as he is a great player. The club also obviously have an overall recruitment and retention strategy next season and see ellis as a key part so that will do for me.
A number of positives for me
1) A finger in the eye for leeds and the hetheringtons
2) Ellis obviously knows gentle well and wants to play for him. Massive endorsement of his coaching abilities
3) We have obviously sold ellis on what the clubs' plan are and he's bought into it (I don't believe he would have signed unless he genuinely thought we'd be competing for trophies whilst he is here)
4) Huge statement of intent from pearson. He promised us the best and has delivered
5) Will be a catalyst for other good quality signings and will make attracting youngsters to teh club that bit easier
Massive thumbs up all round
