Turned out what we saw was actually a moth… I assume you're referring to the game up in Townsville where he clashed heads with a team mate?

What a player he was going to be missed. All the best for the future champ.

In two words 'ideal forward', excellent defender, tough and strong, without unnecessary aggression, and even a decent ball player. Arguably one of the best forwards in NRL, and surely WT legend. Thanks GE.

They did have a highlightes reel after he made his speech. They showed his first game with the tigers, when he scored his first try in the NRL and highlights of many other games.

No regrets but no NRL ring for Ellis

Departing Wests Tigers back-rower Gareth Ellis has no regrets about returning to the Super League, despite admitting he feels a great opportunity was missed by not winning a premiership during his time in the NRL.
The three-time Wests Tigers player of the year made the decision in February to end his four years at the club and join English club Hull FC, and says he revisited the decision in recent weeks but is adamant the right call has been made.
"I was speaking to my dad recently and he asked if I regretted anything (about the decision to move back to England). And I honestly don't," Ellis told AAP.
"As much as I've enjoyed it, I just feel like the timing is right.
"And as emotional as it has been over the past few weeks, and that would've been where the question marks would have come about whether I had made the decision, I've never doubted that this is the right time for me to go back."
What doesn't sit as well with the affable 31-year-old is he'll be leaving Australia without a premiership ring - a fact driven home when the Tigers were consigned to another year without finals football when defeated 26-6 by Melbourne on Saturday night.
Ellis admits with the talent on offer at the Tigers, they let an opportunity slip by letting the past four years go by without cashing in on a title.
"Obviously I feel we have let an opportunity slip," Ellis added.
"Every year that I've been here that (a premiership) has been the goal. We've had the team to do it and come up short a couple of years.
"It's a very talented bunch. I've spoken highly of this group for a long time and there was a lot of hope (this year).
"Our hope never really faded until after the (loss to Melbourne)."
Ellis said the prevailing mood amongst the players after the Storm loss wasn't of anger over referee blunders, or regret about errors throughout the year - but simply disappointment.
"It's just disappointment, we all want to be playing in the finals," he said.
"It's shattering that your Benji Marshalls and Robbie Farahs aren't going to be playing finals football."
Ellis found an ally in Marshall, who was equally shattered about the prospect of not featuring deep into September.
"To not have that chance to have a crack at the title is the thing that hurts the most," Marshall agreed.

It's disappointing all right Gaz, disappointing that the squad turned in some completely inept performance this season and didn't take the opportunities when they presented themselves. If the Tigers had a stronger defensive application, they'd probably have made the 8\. But guess what, if you don't number up and put your shoulder into it, you get rolled, and we saw plenty of that from the Tigers this year unfortunately. It's a damn shame because Ellis deserved better than this.
