Would be a class signing even if it was only for a couple of years at prop, as would be a bit past the back row. Morley is going strong at 34 and I think still has another couple of years on his contract? Maybe a Wire poster can confirm?

cas all the way his contract expires at the end of 2013, so it'd be 2014 when he was here, if he comes.

Maybe we could get him early.
If he so desires to come back to his spiritual home, maybe he could get an early release.
Would be nice.

Still remember watching Ellis develope at wakey and Sl. You could tell the lad was class and as soon as he hit gb caps it was bye bye wakey.

But . . Ellis is quality and if cas can get him sooner than 2014 then it will be a good signing for you.

But in 2014 who knows, you may have better options in your forwards than Ellis at 33 years old. Plenty of time between then and now.

If he did come to Cas he would prove a great example to the younger players, they cannot speak more highly of him at Wests.

And looking at the u18s profiles on the Cas website you'll see a couple have him as their Rugby idol so bringing him in when they will just be about ready to play in the first team would be huge.

Future legend I reckon. I would have thought he'd want to come back to a SL club though.

Aye, probably why he ruled out Wakey.
