Think everyone just jumping on bandwagon with ellis, no hes not the best half in the world n cant carry a team on his own but hes more than capable of filling in on the odd occasion which is what we signed him for. We cant afford to have 4 luke gales in ya squad and as hes probably 3rd or 4th choice half back id say hes better than most other teams 3rd n 4th choice half back

I think he played well against leeds other week.

Ellis i have no issue with, he has been steady away and tbh he hasn't had a bad game in a cas shirt this season... he arguably makes far less errors than roberts and gale and if we further compare him to roberts he will cost alot less, far less injury prone and a much better kicker with the added bonus he can also do goal kicks... what more do people want from a squad player?

.... this forum always looks for players to blame and Ellis shouldnt be one of them hes up there with the most consistent player we have atm

I agree with both above posts but, at present we have two half-backs who are defensively very poor. Saints' targeted young Jake, as they saw that as weak link in our defence, and Jamie gets wrong footed easily. Frustratingly as it is at present, can we afford two half-backs that can't defend,in their favour both up to it attack wise.

I disagree with the defensive comment on ellis.... gale and ellis have both played 10 games each and roberts has played 11 and of the 3 Ellis has the best defence with the fewest missed tackles

A missed tackle only counts if they actually touch the ball carrier, so it isn't a be all and end all when judging defence.

We had this issue when people tried to use the missed tackle stat to say McGoldrick wasn't a bad defender. To get a missed tackle, you actually have to attempt to make a tackle.

Would have to massively disagree with saying that Ellis hasn't had a bad game...

Def not jumping on the Ellis bandwagon. For me I was gutted when we resigned him. Off of 2017 we should've been aiming so much higher. We and the club are aware of Roberts' injury history so imagine when the club signed Jamie they realised he'd get a stack load of game time. So is more like 2nd/3rd choice. For me he's not the calibre of player for us. We rely everything on one half, Gale. We needed someone to take that pressure off of him. Anywho just my bit.
