could ellis be a good hooker?
anycase if brough or brierley got injured then we would need ellis to slot in
then again gaskell can do that too
I suggested that a few times last season but it got slated by people who thought Ellis was our future. I don't know if he would make a good hooker or not but i reckon he would be better than he is at half, Really we need to be setting our sights a bit higher.
As regards building for next year, start with Brough and Breirley and try to build a pack ( or coach a pack ) to give them the oportunity to play. Regards backup we should be training and coaching Brough's replacment now.
