Disagree. RFM’s form was just as bad before pay started posting him in the middle, tbh... Elliott holds his own with both those guys. At his best, he’s probably better.
No actually , rfm was dropped for bad form and Elliott was rewarded.. that's why people dislike Elliott , because other more skillful players are dropped for less.. rfm has more skill in his left toe compared to Elliott whole body..

I have nothing to apologise for, I know quality when I see it. Those of you who incessantly bag him can leave your apologies below.
Fair enough. I've never really bagged him, definitely not incessantly, but you have to admit, he was a machine for mistakes and silly plays for a long time. Has definitely improved recently, but needs to keep improving I reckon for a long term future at the Dogs. More of an edge forward IMO and would be interesting to see him back there now that his running is better and the silly stuff is mostly gone. Still, I expect CHN and Stimson to start on the edges next year, with JJ at lock and RFM getting more minutes in the middle from the bench (Elliott to compete for an edge spot I reckon).

He is still a very very very avge player who once in a blue moon plays above his own expectations. One day when we win a premiership, you will look at the team list and see he will never be on it..
But, good on him for getting a chance that most of us will never get... to wear that Dogs jersey..

Stimson's no certainty (I think he's been a little over hyped). As it stands I'm expecting the same as this year regarding our 11, 12 and 13 (not including future recruitment, if any). Stimson would have to really impress in training otherwise I see him having to wait for his opportunity due to injury or poor form at the start of the season from CHN or Elliott. Also unless we run no utility on the interchange I don't see him making it there either. Elliott and Smith are still the best Lock rotation we have. Toomaga and RFM are our Prop's.

His form early on was indicative of the whole team. Even Jackson was well below standards

But I like his energy and ability to use the ball
Yes prone to the odd ball handling errors but hoping he will have a big off season and be more selective moving forward

Elliott will slot in somewhere. He is well liked and highly valued at the club.

He has his good games when our props provide go forward and quick play the balls.

Otherwise he gets completely dominated in his hit ups. He needs a back pedalling defence to have any kind of "impact".

Just look at tonight's game Napa went in and stopped hayne pass dead in his tracks and Elliot went flying backwards.

Hes a nothing player and i cant believe he still gets picked ahead of other playera

The only thing that is useless is irrational hate for players who ain’t goin’ Anywhere. :p
Chn
Jackson
Rfm
Renouf

Are all better than him. And we have Stimson and kalache to come in too.

By 2021 he won't even be first choice for the bench. Mark my words

Yeah he's improved his game in the last month or so but hardly an apology is needed lol. He still wouldn't walk into any other side except maybe the Titans.

It’s only my opinion, but I just think Adam offers more value to the team.

Both have way too many errors for my liking

But I think Elliot has a better attitude.
