How Ellis retained his spot is remarkable. Like the ins however

[WilliamPowell]

Absolutely disgraceful BEllis remains.

Rewarding being laziness and refusing to go hard at contests because you don't want to get hit is obviously accepted these days

Not to mention it sends a shocking message

But whatever

[Lozza]

Was at last week's game and saw two standout poor efforts by BEllis and if I was coach he wouldn't be playing until further notice, it was soft and quite frankly cringeworthy to watch

BTW and totally off subject was anyone else at the game aware of the outcome of what I believed to be a Tigers supporter who had a suspected heart attack, they were trying CPR for quite a long period of time.

Was there too and know exactly what you are referring to and feel exactly the same way. Some things are not negotiable

Was not aware of that. Hope they are OK

[Diocletian]

Not that I'm fussed but Hardwick pretty much said Townsend was in during today's press conference....only named as an emergency...reckon Caddy might still be a late out...

Castagna very fortunate, BEllis keeping his spot is laughable but sadly predictable - Garthwaite should've been retained, would've been better for the run and seems a bit foolhardy to go in with one less tall against a side wth two quality rucks who can both rotate forward... good to see CCJ named as an emergency ahead of Slomo... starting to make an impression in only his second year - solid progrees for a young ruckman.....

Looking forward to finally seeing Bolton on ball....

[sdc01]

agree with everybody's comments above

[strongandbold]

I'm guessing the coaching staff see something in BEllis we don't, that's ok.  They know what they are doing.

I would have also had Butler over George, trust him more with the ball in his hand.

[Tiger Khosh]

Ellis and Castagna lucky but with 3 forced changes may have just been a case of being named by default. Butlers dropping has been a long time in the making, hopefully this is the wake up call he needs. Happy with all the players coming in.

They may be playing balta down back which is why garthy’s gone out.

[big tone]

You have the choice to play Townsend over Bellis and you don’t.
One would die for the club and his teammates and the other is soft as a babies bum.

Other than that I’m happy with the ins.

Looking forward to seeing Balta again this week and also Ross and Bolton for their first games this year.
Baker has earned his call up too, so good on him.

 

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Can't question Towner's hardness but I don't recall ever seeing him play as a half back flanker. Still, would have liked to see him come in. His time will come though.

It's last chance saloon for the BEllis and like whoa, stuffing look out...

Fantastic to see my man Bolton get rewarded...

Last time I looked Houli and Vlastuin can play HBF.
No need for Bellis.... ever again.

Of course they can but always play 2 runners off half back. With Houli back we'll likely see The BEllis back on the wing, where he started last week before JayDon snapped his arm in half....

The cat with nine lives how many chances for Ellis pathetic.
