Do you think Ellis is better than Westwood and Hock?

I would say that Ellis is in the top 10 players on the planet IMO, westwood and Hock are big classy units but Ellis is that and so much more.

Gotta say also isnt it mouthwatering to think we could have all those three playing for GB at the end of the season for once!!!!!

Miles away apparently, Hudgell is refusing to take the money on offer, Hudge has also got rid of two other directors and is doing about 6 jobs himself now, he's also limited their salary cap to £1m, could be a few long depressing seasons ahead at CP.


Looking at the Rovers squad this year me, my dad and a number of people we've talked to over the season questioned whether they were using the full salary cap,

maybe this is to help fund the new stand

While not doubting Paul M or any of the other posters claiming we've signed Bateman, to sign the best English second rower and the best up and coming second rower (for some years) would be unbelievable recruitment.

As good as Tickle (I'd presume the Bateman signing was to replace him) and Manu have been, and let's face it they've carried us, Ellis and Bateman would take us to another level.



I'll still believe it when it happens but the information I have been told is very detailed to be made up.

Similar players in style though McKinnon was ahead in every aspect apart from professionalism (allegedly).

McDonnell's younger and no doubt cheaper and hopefully has 2 hamstrings.

Lets hope your right Sheldon, if he is near to Mckinnon he is good enough for me, dont like his ethic but as a player Mckinnon was close to being the best FB I have seen play for FC!! (not quite tho)

This is Hudgell we're talking about, who knows what is going through his mind. It sounds as though Taylor is happy to stay there another year and then come to us for nothing, you'd have thought even a bitter and twisted Hudgell would eventually make a sound business decision, not one based on sentiment.



If he digs in, he will know by May that he has a player in his squad that has signed for someone else with the changes to the anti-tampering date. If its us, he will regret not taking the money - mind you he can obviously afford to underight the 500k loss from the this year.

God i hope your right Paul, those would alongside Ellis and existing players make us a really powerful unit to play, REALLY powerful and for years to come too

Isnt it nice to see us building for the future for a change rather than instant fix contracts

how would you compare mcdonnel against Mckinnon???
dont know much about Mcdonnel and to be fair he has on the couple of ocassions i have seen him looked very average
has anyone got any other view???


I actually think they are quite similar. Both are good attacking full backs and reasonably sound in their defensive duties. Have been impressed with the way McDonnell joins the attack and appears to have good hands just as McKinnon did. I think he will complement our new back line perfectly well.
