Analysis Xavier Ellis

[WCFaithful]

poise, skill, footy brain, guts. Everything we lack as a team so what's not to like about Ellis? He's a keeper.

 

[pantskyle]

I think he is just super.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

He's not keeping better players out of the team - but he's keeping younger players out of the team who will be better in the future. If Simmo plays the 'we lost a lot of experience last year' card when we suck next year I will lose my shit. Hey Simmo, stop putting so many games into dead wood.

Who's he keeping out? Brennan? Carter? Smith? I'd play Ellis over all them

So far he seems like he has got his body allright



As long as we are smart and dont thrash him through the middle im happy

Tom Swift.

 

[Daveismad]

Yeah he's been good but he's no game breaker

And this is the problem we have a lot of serviceable honest players thru the midfield

HE JUST ADDS TO THAT LIST

Been my concern so far, he should played as a loose man down back. I shudder every time I see him getting tackled trying to break a pack or wrestle out of clearances.

Agreed - loose man is the perfect role for him - Too brave for his own good that would take the pressure off his body to an extent. Given his silky footskills it gives us an alternative to hirn out of defence.

We will be sorely tempted to put him in the guts when we have a lot of injuries in the mids or are getting pantsed - - we have to not succumb to it

He's more flexible than most others on that list though.

He can play at both ends and through the middle. More than we can say about a few guys in our side. For that reason he's a keeper.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

doing a lot better then the majority of the squad thats for sure

Yeah by no means a bad player but he's stop ago filler

For now

He's handy yep ...but he just adds to growing list of handy players

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Game on. Would like to see him step up
