Brandon Ellis

He's probably our weakest tackler. Never wraps a player up, never locks the arms in, whoever he tackles always gets hands free and gets the ball away. But, he is always running and giving his best, can't really expect any more.

I'm hearing that his contract negotiations are not preceding smoothly at the moment, would hope that this will be sorted.
Interesting one, he's in career best , so his trade value would be at it's highest, do we have somebody who will be able to replace him next year ? I.e Markov, Menadue , Conca even Bolton ? Could he help land us a much needed forward/ ruck ? . As a critic of Brando over time I'm more then happy with him and hope he stays, however if he landed us a quality big guy I'd be happy to trade.
 
The early 2017 whipping boy has come could. But happy to use him as year bait.
 
played well did bellis. hit the contest hard and at speed. gave drive.
i liked his intensity this week, has certainly built some form
 
His hands have levelled up. Now his feet are on the way. Intensity much improved.
 
B Ellis is much improved , running into spaces and kicking the ball better .Some of oir 2nd tier players have lifted yhis year hence the improvement ..
 
Doubt he'd go. Was fairly instrumental in helping to get Prestia to the club.
He's found himself again. Best he's played in years.

The issue is that RFC are not committing to anything much atm because of the Dusty situation. It is now starting to cause problems

I like the Bobble these days - definitely should stay. He's a pretty important element to the way we play at the moment.

Yeah I’ve pro Bobble head since day one but I was happy to see him used as trade bait early in the year but not now.

Has hardened up, attack on the ball is first class and his creativity is back. Huge fan. Bobble on, bobble on.
 
Had a very solid game last night. No doubt enhanced by having Floss back in the team and with Bachar returning last night - it really looks like he (finally) learnt something about his role in the side with those two being absent.
 
I admit he has been much improved in recent games, but will still go missing in the finals. I am still 100% for trading him.

I hope we're able to come back to this in October and say 'Ian4 you were wrong!'
 
Just about anyone excluding Cotchin Martin Jack or Rance is trade able provided the return is right
