It's already been pointed out to you on another thread that Tim Sheens did not say that Ellis can't tackle. What he actually referred to was his understanding of the defensive patterns which Sheens uses. Therefore it's got absolutely f*ck all to do with basic skills, and everything to do with Ellis learning to operate in new types of defensive systems. Yet you (and Chorley Freak) seem completely unable to grasp this.

Have you ever actually watched a game of rugby league?

have you ever read a link on this forum

the link from an english website says his basic skills were deficient

the story i read was that he lacked some basic skill in tackling

but then again im guessing you didnt even read the australia RL media much.

can you even name our RL magagines?

No we have a very good record against the Kiwis.

future world cups should be england, scotland, ireland, wales, france, fiji, tonga and samoa.

you might win that.

PS i left out australia, nz and PNG for obvious reasons

I've read the actual quote from Sheens, which now appears to have morphed into all manner of different interpretations (none of which are particularly close to the original) depending on which pig thick ocker is misusing it to support whatever pig thick argument they are attempting to scrawl out.

Btw I have in the past purchased Australian RL "magagines", which is why I'm not at all surprised that Sheens quote has taken on a life of its own.

I'm not defending Englands dismal international performances - do try to understand. I'm questioning the right of someone to get all high and mighty about the wonders of Australin RL when they have failed miserably to beat the Kiwis in the last WC and the last UK Tri-Nations...do you see where we are going with this. NZ is a country with ONE yes ONE Pro RL team!

so even though youve purchased them, youve now forgotten the name?




i posted the quotes here and they referred to a lack of basic skills

you also lack a basic skill in reading

just for reference i was at a game yesterday that had just under 25,000 people to it for a club game

if thats your little club, it takes half a season to get to that same aggregate

I don't know or care who said what.

I have had the pleasure of watching GE since he was 18.

I frakly don't care if he has the basic skills of tackling because the skills he does use (basic or otherwise) are mighty effective when it comes to tackling.

Now unless players in the NRL have a method of overcomming GE's defensive skills I reccon GE will go pretty well and will leave the NRL with the respect of all fair minded Aussie fans.

A very good pro with a high level of competence and skill in both offense and defense.

very good game tonight, one of the best tigers forwards in a winning team.
