Ellis' stature goes up every week............

[cnx_tigers]

This bloke has been a champion for us.

Benji was one of the worst defenders in the NRL until the big Pom arrived…...........and so great has Ellis been that he covered up Benji's lack of defense almost entirely by being his bodyguard / cover on that edge.

Since he's been out, Benji has been absolutely woeful defensively.

I haven't said this about a Tigers player since Jr, Siro and Blocker left..............but Ellis is just about irreplaceable.

Chomping at the bit for his return. Don't think we can give the finals a shake without him (or make them at this rate.)

 

[cnx_tigers]

We won't make them if he doesn't get back soon. It's a crying shame he's leaving.

And it's even more of a crying shame that we haven't even made a grand final during his time with us. We've had the roster each year to do it.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

He is definitely one of the best WT players ever, will be missed.
Regarding the last few years, I was dissapointed as anyone here, however, in none of the finals games were we blown away, and in each game we were very competitive, until the end :frowning:

Go Tigers

100% correct on all counts cnx tigers, but our defense as a team for the majority of the year is more like that of a bottom 8 team than a team aspiring to play finals footy. When the pommy hit man gets back I'm sure he'll be able to help out & make a difference where Benji's defending, but what are we going to do next year after he's left? IMO he's been without a doubt our best recruit & it has been an absolute pleasure seeing him play for us. Going to miss you Gaz
