Brandon Ellis

[tigerlove]

I’m deadly serious. Short on a wing could do some damage.

Yep time to try something else. That dropped mark in the backline was just so Ellis. He often fails at key moments.

Ellis should watch Brad Sheppard play. Intercept Marks, kicks well, doesn’t mind the contest etc.
Very similar in athleticism and roles but very different in output.

 

[Tigers of Old]

The most valuable asset for any elite sports man or woman is consistent high level performance. The problem with Ellis is exactly that - far too much variation between his best and worse. If we as a club aspire to greatness within the 3-4 years left for this group, he can't be part of it.

Well said. I like plenty of what Brando has done over his 164 games for us & he'll forever he a Premiership Tiger.. However for all the good he brings, there are weaknesses in his game that won't ever be ironed out.
He's at the point where others younger are knocking on the door for an opportunity & he's a free agent. If he gets a good deal elsewhere I can't see us standing in his way.

Weak efforts all afternoon
Missed tackle that turned into a goal for Long
Just too many gutless efforts
Bring back baker

the whole Mr Universe pose every time he kicks a goal cracks me up. More like Mr Puny-verse

Bad brando turned up. Can excuse cotch and co returning from injury, but brandos game was insipid

Same here. I like it.

Can't remember the exact details but the Saints kicked deep into their forward fifty and Ashbury (l think it was him) was one out with his opponent scraping for the ball. Ellis comes in with his opponent and then stops 3m from the contest and lets his man run towards the goal square alone. Surprise surprise the Saints player fighting for possession with Astbury knocks the ball to the, now, unmarked team mate who kicks the easiest of goals.

Surely he keeps shoulder to shoulder or at least he gets goal side. Thought it was poor play from Ellis

he's a headless chicken who grows a head sometimes ... but he's still a chicken .. thought his goal was nice ..

 

[Harry]

Next in line to go when we get more players back

I commented on this very contest my brain almost exploded.

He should've hit that contest to either assist Dave win it or kill it and cause a stop in play.

He did neither he shirked it and handed the Saints a goal.

It's amazing Craig. That stoodout as the worst defensive play of the day to me as well. I couldn't understand how Dave could be turned around and then Bruce still find a spare player so easily. On replay, I noticed what you and Tigerport did. Either support Dave and kill the contest or make sure the get out player is covered. Did neither and just jogged around when he could have impacted defensively.

He was ball watching.....like he does regularly.

[CarnTheTiges]

I watch Ellis sometimes and ask myself how did this guy play in a winning Premiership side?

 

[tigerlove]

How many times lately has he flown for the ball to get one hand one it and then out of the contest to watch his opponent trot of with the ball. He's gotta stop flying for impossible marks. He's no good at it, stay on the ground and clean up the crumbs. Very frustrating to watch is Ellis. Can't we just have Balta running up and down the wing?

 

[Tigaman]

Another top four quarter effort by Brando. Integral part of tigers march towards 2019 finals.
