Ellis : Wed Sep 18, 2019 4:56 pm  

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... fc-3333709 Talk of him discussing a deal for next year - totally wrong imo - weve got a good squad for next season and we dont want to be losing one of the 17 each week to a player who is quite frankly past it - Youve been a great Ellis but its time to retire gracefully

If we only pay him what he would be paid as a coach then it's ok by me. Wont be 1st choice for 1st team but great to be playing for the reserves and working with that group

Disagree. Think he would be in the starting line up every week if fit.

Agree, we need to move on and build the future, Ellis doing another year in the first team isn't progress imho.

I think he still would in most SL teams tbh

Most aggressive player in the team still, other players need to step up, looking better for next season, but more than happy to have him as back up, champion players are hard to find. He played to many games this season, which made him less effective, but still a fierce competitor when fresh

Agreed! Leadership on the pitch is enormous from him.

As JTP says aslong as the money is not too great in terms affect on salary cap I don’t see an issue. The guy is a warrior and model pro and is worth a deal to keep him around. Don’t think he’ll be playing week in week out but think he’ll be able to make a significant impact over and input over the season with a pre season under him too.
Maybe he can instill his leadership qualities on a few of the senior players.
