I don't think it's as a farfetched idea for Elliot. He already plays in the middle at lock so wouldn't be new to him and he wouldn't change the way he plays.Martin or elliot and front row?
Are you guys serious? Lol
It should be explored tbh

No it's quite a far fetched idea. Elliot can play lock because he's not fixed to the middle of the field but no way in hell is he a prop. He gets dominated in hitups and tackles. Look at his average metres ffs, even when his form was "good" he was averaging stuff all metres, instead it was other aspects that he contributed toI don't think it's as a farfetched idea for Elliot.

ISP until injuries?What about the boy named Sue. Where does he fit in.

This is true regarding his running metres but I do not think it is reason to not throw him in the front row. Finucane was a front rower at the dogs, now he's a lock. Gallen has been between lock and front row his whole career, Mcguire from bronco's the same etc. Not comparing Elliot to them, but it just shows that its a shift in mindset, they all have the skill set to do it, it's just what the team needs. If having Elliot means at front row (whether off the bench or starting) means we get more out of Martin, RFM, Jackson and CHN then I think the team will be better off.No it's quite a far fetched idea.

If we put him in prop look forward to no field position
Finucane was always a lock, rotating with Eastwood usually. Elliot gets dominated in way too many tackles and doesn’t have the size/strength of people like Gallen. In my books he sticks to either 2nd row or lock.This is true regarding his running metres but I do not think it is reason to not throw him in the front row.

I disagree regarding tackles. Elliot puts 'em on their ass for a living.
I had him on the bench when he signed, but I’ve been impressed with Renoufs and Ogden’s progression so not sure he’ll make the 17What about the boy named Sue. Where does he fit in.
Really? What games are you watching?I disagree regarding tackles. Elliot puts 'em on their ass for a living.
Agree. In hindsight looks like a waste of a signing from us, just not neededI had him on the bench when he signed, but I’ve been impressed with Renoufs and Ogden’s progression so not sure he’ll make the 17
That backline scares meJust a thought and don’t be to harsh as I don’t post often, however does anybody think that Martin could be or emulate a Gavin Hill type player and start up front ?? Just trying to think outside the square and use what we currently have.
Obliviously I understand this could change some how but not holding my breath.

I really wanna see how he and Ogden go next season. Equally as pumped to see CSmith get a crack, he goes very well and gets through a mountain of work. Very good depth. Not concerning in the slightest. Need to get our backs in order.What about Renouf To’omaga surely he will be in fg.
We are blest with forwards.
