I'd hate to see Elliott go. At the moment, he's definitely the best defensively in all of our outside backs, with SKD out (better than Burgess, Fergo and Toups combined defensively for that matter), yet still playing reserve grade???? And in saying that can still find the try line. Dropped last year after scoring a triple in the game before lol tough gig

I'd agree with that. I think he has the speed and requisite skill level but lacks a bit of size. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't sign with Newcastle - there's no real guarantee that he will get week to week first grade experience there plus it's not exactly a club going places. Those comparing Elliot's departure to that of Kane Linnett's and Joey Lealua's are a bit off the mark. Both those guys were starting centre's / wingers within the top 25 when they left. Whilst Elliot is a good player, he isn't a starting centre / winger in our top 25, I don't think.

BJ is a slug who was part of our infamous 2012 slowest backline of the century team. It is no coincidence Jennings tore Raiders a new one, and just a pity James Roberts plays on the other side of the field.
I expect BJ to become a decent second rower one day after all coaches realise he is a terrible defender in the centres.
