If Ellis was assistant coach here....
We're pushing for the 8.

Bloke left us busted, And after 25 years of top level footy dragged a bunch of
battlers to a challenge cup final win (Maybe even a couple)

Should have been our captain for his entire tenure here...

Really?!? He is currently assistant coach at Hull FC who are coming 9th and are 10 from 22. Bringing the best players back to coach isn't how we are going to win. Everyone just likes the idea of it ....

I don't think it's his coaching win/loss, I think he would be good to drive expectations and standards which are sorely lacking.

Completely agree,his attitude is something that we sadly do not have (Api excepted).I am not bagging Benji/Robbie as they also have it but Ellis always had one of the most competitive attitudes that i have ever seen.

What are you talking about - He left to be the best he could be....
Like Moses and others.

Captaining your Country, State and winning Premierships are worthless?

Whatever game you're playing - In what ever competition it is
You must be very lonely...

I completely disagree with you. That isn't my style. It may be yours but it isn't mine. In my opinion you are often better off taking the hard path in life and external rewards are meaningless. I can state this from a position of privilege where I have a house to live in and food on the table but that isn't the level we are talking about with professional sportsmen.

I don't understand the lonely comment. The only sports I do are hobbies and I'm pretty crap but I'm also 50. I don't compete competitively. I feel I've done exceptionally well in life in relation to having a great family and friends. I love alone time and I definitely don't feel lonely.

I think the main issue was he couldn’t see a premiership on the horizon with us, now, when he looks at his premiership rings, SOO appearances, NSW/Australian captaincy and WC win, he knows he made the right call,

It seems the WestsTigers spirit you mentioned in your previous post only applies to some players.

The real reason he left - Nick showed him a photo of Donny Osmond and told him "sign with us and we can get your teeth looking like Donny free of charge". Teddy, however thought the photo was of Don Lane.

Ladies and gentlemen we now have incontrovertible proof that there is literally no player in the NRL that the forum illuminati think is a good player.
Teddy's a myth.........that wins the prize.

Teddy being a myth has to be one of the worst takes i've seen on this forum... His decision to leave the Tigers has been proven to be totally justified to most sane people when you look over his career and what he has achieved.

Possibly they are the same experts that wanted to move Tesesco to play centre, or to swap him for Moylan? 🤔

Some of the takes on this forum have been wild lately 🤣 🤣 first it's apparently harder being a Roosters & Souths fan then it is a Tigers fan & now the best player of the last 5 years is apparently a myth smh what's going on haha

It is good to see the heat being applied to Souths now...Pride of the league indeed....worst take in the history of rugby league in my opinion.

People have said they have a plan at this organisation for years. Would be good if it does eventuate but at the moment id wager we are favourites for the wooden spoon mext year as well.

2 halves that are untested, unwanted and unproven. This is the Tigers way.

Cmon, one has been tested in a team coming 16th!

The other haven't been tested, but plenty of other fools willing to throw money at them.

Meanwhile we hire Sezer who hasn't been tested in the NRL for 4 years. ....

All I am saying is that, yea we do Risky!

All a bit bitter and twisted Earl. Don’t agree with your comment about Teddy and have no idea about you.
But respect your rights and opinions.
