Jake Emmit and Jamie Ellis : Mon Feb 18, 2013 2:28 pm  

Where's Emmit gone to, is he injured or dropped?
I like to know how former Saints are getting on and I heard a lot of good things about him last year.

How's Jamie Ellis getting on? I was suprised he didn't get a better crack of the whip at Hull after apparently being very impressive for Leigh.

Emmitt isn't getting a sniff - some people are saying Millward doesn't like him because he did "too much work" last year which sounds stupid so I can't see it being true.

Ellis is steady away, not a world beater by any stretch but good enough and he's surprisingly strong near the line.

Jake Emmitt has been on duel-reg with Keighley to get some match fitness and I would expect him to be in the Tigers starting line-up soon.

Jamie Ellis - He hasn't done anything to impress me yet but prepared to give him time.

Emmitt has been disappointing for a year now and he was outshone by the likes of Nathan Massey (last season) and Dan Fleming in the friendlies.

I would not condemn any players who played in last years team, they slogged their guts out, whilst some more senior players retired early, Emmet played injured for a lot of last season & is now on his way back.

Ellis has started slowly, but it's their & a good run with Rangi by his side & we will see what he can do.

Emmit was fantastic the other year but less so last year, though ive heard he was playing injured, im expecting a good season from him.

Ellis had a dream debut but since has looked no better than average, but i would give him to the end of the season to prove himself as he is still quite young, he needs to stop kicking straight at the fullback though.

Yes i would agree Ellis has to work on his kicking out of hand, also he should work on a variety of kicks near the opposition line as well.
