| Quote Seph="Seph"He's nailed on for Leeds.
=#0000FFHis missus is from Leeds, they have a house in wetherby, obvious connections with the rhinos from his previous time there and they need to replace their captain peacock with a similar figure.
I'd love him to sign for hull but see this more as a signal of intent than a realistic option. Keeping everything crossed though!'"
a fair few players travel from further afield to their clubs |

| Quote Rock God X="Rock God X"And probably two or three props. I'd worry about us signing Ellis from a salary cap point of view. If he'll demand as much as people seem to think, it could leave us rather unbalanced. =#0000FFIn all honesty, I would be happier with someone like Whitehead - not quite as good, but a lot cheaper and a lot younger.'"
I'm leaning more towards that way of thinking if we can get the right sort of players for the positions in which we have greater need, too. |

| Ellis is world class and would be a sensational signing for a number of reasons. It would be a real signal of intent.
I hear what people are saying about strengthening other positions but it goes without saying that Ellis would improve us and it's great to hear we are amongst the front runners for his signature.
Not getting my hopes up, mind  |

Exactly. Any world class player should be welcomed in. If Hull want to be back at the top it's the Ellis type players that need to be playing for us and not against us. Leeds must be favourites but it's good to see us in there giving it a shot. |

So, who or where do we sacrifice to fit him under the cap?
Would the improvement that he would bring, be greater or less than the improvement we would gain, from strengthening our weak areas? |

How could I answer about the cap ? Like you I don't know who is on what, who is staying, who is definitely going ? etc. etc. Why wouldn't we have room on the cap but Leeds, for example, would ? There are a handful of English world class players in world RL and he is one of them. This calibre of player is not ten a penny and doesn't become available very often.
I could turn your perfectly fair questions around and ask how many other world class players will become available for 2013 in the positions where we supposedly need to strengthen ? Maybe a few - maybe none at all. We know Ellis is available and I'm glad we're in for him. With a house in Wetherby and previous at Leeds he'll likely finish up there. |

World class player but i'd rather strengthen other areas. Prop, centre and SO are the key areas for me.

I have a house in Leeds and lived there for 20+ years but I don't want to go back.
Wetherby is north east Leeds, near the A1 and handy for West Hull |
