I like that you bothered to list your reasons but I found it strange that you left out the data that actually supports those reasons. Let's test a few (source;
https://www.nrl.com/players/?team=500010 )
Run metres last season average per game CHN 80, RFM 82, Elliott 104, Jackson 103 doesn't look that pathetic to me.
Tackle Efficiency, Jackson 89%, Elliott 86%, CHN 82%, RFM 89% again in comparison to his peers not all that pathetic, could be better of course.
Missed tackles, CHN 106, Napa 76, Jackson 59, Elliot 55, JMK 53 again not all that pathetic.
As a team in the error stakes we are pretty good, DWZ is the worst at 21, which is less than 1 per game, so hardly terrible and he's ranked 40th in the NRL. No other Bulldogs player including Elliott makes it into the top 50.
Penalties conceded, Tolman is a worst at 15, 29th in the NRL, hardly terrible, then JMK at 14, 42nd in the NRL. No other Bulldogs player including Elliott makes it into the top 50.
Sorry, but it seems that the data shows that it's actually not "there in black and white".
