Ellis coming to NRL 2009, Great signing by West Tigers?

Question

Leeds Rhinos forward Gareth Ellis as signed a contract with West Tigers and will join them in 2009. I'm a Rhinos and think this will be a massive loss for Leeds as he is one of the best forwards in the world, the NRL are getting a world class player, if I was a Tigers fan I'd be thrilled by this coup.

Answer 1

Yeah good news for the Tigers, just hope he's not like most english players that come over here, but have a big impat like Morley and Carney. In the past we've seen english players not been able to adapt to the faster pace, higher skill level, and heat (opening rounds can be played in 35 degree heat). But i've heard good things about Ellis and will try to catch as much Leeds games as possible.

Answer 2

Look forward to seeing what he can do..
