But he sure has left a hole on how we want to execute our game plan.
Yeah, he will be missed, but there was no way we could justify paying him the amount Gold Coast could fit in their salary cap.
Good luck to him, we should claim the credit for GC doing so well, Brandon took some positive culture up there from the premiership side.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Of course we could have justified it. We just made other choices on players for better or worse.
We still haven’t put in a genuine gut runner into his role yet. KMac then Naish should be given a spin in that position
Only time will tell on that front. Might be the best signing the Suns ever made.
Jeepers tooheys, he's played one game against the worst team in the comp. I reckon the underrated Jarrod Witts and perhaps Harbrow have been their best signings.
For a start I don't think he'd have cost 550k a season to stay. Was pretty clear he wanted to. I'd love to know what our offer actually was.
Outside of KMac what endurance runners do we have on the list jimbob?
Brando was a very good link runner. Houli is our best but aging. Grigg also a big loss in this regard.
I've no doubt the club thought we could cover him with some of the talented kids we have on our list but it's one thing to think they can cover a 2 x premiership player, another to actually do it.

Bobbles s running was important for the Tigers but off field he may have been just as important around the place, one of the most popular guys in the club apparently.
The club has lost Rance and Bobble two very popular players within the group in one off season.
That impact cannot be underestimated, maybe the fun and frivolity has diminished with these two going, most certainly with Tross going.
Some great points by TOO and Craig.
You can’t put a value on ones character and what they bring to a group.
Ellis was a major influence when he opened up during the preseason of 2017 about his struggles as a kid.
From an on field perspective we are trying to fill his role with the likes of Graham. That’s says it all!

I loved Brandy, but understood letting him go for the grander plan.
I just didn’t realise the grander plan was Ellis’ wing position being given to Jack Graham.
I’m a bit like Tooheys, I know 5 years @ $550k is unmatchable, but he would have stayed for less, and I pretty sure what we did offer was extremely low. Ellis had said he was basically told he wasn’t required.

While I appreciate there is debate over Ellis leaving as there should be, I have to say if they thought Graham would be a winger, well, I just can't see it. Not quick enough, his strengths are not those of a winger.
