Good luck to him he may be just what Powell wants & has a roll for him it might just be a good fit for both parties. I trust Tim Sheens in his judgment, we do need one more half, Carney may be the one but if pushed Blair can cover, marsh is not ready yet. Also Ellis may have wanted to much(or Giants) or not wanted to stay. Best of luck to him anyway , I always take an interest in all our ex players.

Marsh is 24, if he is not ready now then when will he be? personally I think the kid is utter rhubarb, and I cannot think of a player who offers so little, yet is so highly rated. If someone can offer an alternative argument as to what he is good at then please state this. I would pay him off his contract and use Harris as the "up and coming" back up half.

He only turned 22 in April according to his Hull KR website player profile.

I don't think he's a worldbeater by any stretch, but he seems to attract a huge amount stick when other young players have generally got away with 'not letting anybody down', at this stage of their career.

I think it's because it's such a pivotal position I remember people raving about Matty Berrahal and then he didn't make it at the same time people were talking about this kid Matty Marsh coming through saying how good he was personally I don't think he's good enough but he seems to get a lot of stick when others get away with it Quinlan been one for me

Yep - announced as a Doncaster player on a 2 year deal.

They've also signed Litten, Lane, Sanderson and Osborne from Hull on year long loans.

He is a good water carrier and he cleans the players boots or he should that is all he is good for

Underwhelming effort in recruitment so far

I think we need to be patient. We got some good players last year by not rushing our recruitment.

Now Mitch Clark has been confirmed as gone, I think there will be an announcement shortly of an overseas player. This is not me saying I'm in the know btw, its just that the club specifically mentioned him leaving would free up a non fed place. This type of announcement to me is usually followed with another about a new signing within a couple of days.

The thing what worried me with Ellis is he was often outplayed by the opposition scrum half in the championship he seemed to play when he wanted to

Totally agree.

I wish Ellis all the best - he will be remembered for his contribution in 2017.
