Seems like a likeable guy. I think he's learnt from his mistakes, will be in the 17 and have a good year.

On another note, when younger, who hasn't slept with a mates girlfriend, not a biggy as long as you grow out of it.

This lad will be a great signing. If anything I hope he has some form of relationship with CHN which encourages him to stay at the club.
He speaks very very well, and I wouldn't be shocked if (should he sign a longer term deal) if he becomes a leader, if not VC.

There is only upside to this signing - we can only hope he listens to the leadership in the coaching ranks rather than think he is in control of his off field antics.
Seems to be quite mature, and should we get his partner down here for the NRLW, I think we've got the makings of a very good player.

are talking about Adam Elliott? "the" Adam Elliott? the Adam Elliott that played up with team mates partners, repeatedly got nude in public, got caught semi naked in a pub toilet with a female missed more tackles than almost the entire nrl combined Adam Elliott?

"Repeatedly got nude in public" is totally incorrect. A photographer from the Tele booked a room across the street from an upstairs room in a hotel which had been hired for a private function ie the Dogs end of year party. With a telephoto lense he was able to photo Elliott unclothed within the confines of the room or suite. We don't know any context of his nudity, how long it lasted, who was actually present or the attitude of the pthers present to the nude person or any behaviour he was involved in. Just that he was for a moment at least in the nude. On the evidence available I find no particular fault for Elliott, although the behaviour was perhaps a bit coarse, not unusual at end of season parties and probably the reason for the photographers presence.
In most contexts that behaviour should get the photographer arrested on peeping tom charges and the player absolved as the victim of a crime.

Nuding up in your mid 20s while pissing on with your mates- hardly a rarity. If it's not done in some public place, no harm no foul.

Pashing on with a girl you met again who you crushed on in high school. Again, if consensual, no problem. I think he broke a covid rule which would be the only negative.

I think it's the fact that those are combined with the complete EDIT of cheating with your mate spouse that makes the pattern worrying.

I'm really more concerned about the fact he's a plodder. Elliot Whitehead was kicked from pillar to post for how innefective he was last season- but he made more linebreaks AND more linebreak assists that season, than Adam's ever managed in his BEST nrl season ever- and he's 27, he's had plenty of seasons to put in a decent one if he had it in him. Not just close or the same. More. That's the level of plodderism we bought in. So I don't see him, at 27, offering a whole bunch apart from steady backup I hope rarely makes the 17.

Agree with that BnM. I think there is a chance that he was doing a little more than snogging in the bathroom, to be thrown out.

However as the great Cheese likes to remind us, who hasn't been caught shagging in a restaurant toilet with a girl you just met?

Exactly where I stand on the matter. Hooking up with a teammate's wife is the only thing that really meant he probably needed to leave the club.

But let's be honest, it's his onfield performances which ultimately led them to let him go.

We could have two or three of the loosest defenders in the second row next season. That's what worries me.

Hit the nail. I don't really care that much for what happened off the field in the past. We recruited CHN who did something most of us wouldn't agree with, esp. if you have a younger daughter. The toilet and Mad Monday incidents were very minor. He's with the same partner now as the one he had the toilet incident with and hope having a partner brings stability and satisfaction to his life.

But Elliott's defence and attack, coming from a side with the worst for both, worry me. And Whitehead's defence and attack has let him down and Young went through problems last year as well.

I refrained from commenting when people did after his interview. So we are judging him based on how he performs in interviews and saying he's going to have a good year because of that?

He’s a plodder, and surely the other concern is his professionalism? Arguments around the severity of his indiscretions aside - the fact he’s had one per year rather than knuckling down and focusing on his football might be the bigger red flag here.

But here we are, a couple of puff pieces and him making all the right noises of contrition again at a press conference, and the gullible are back on board.

He’s had his chances and should be clogging up another club’s roster while we develop a younger player with more upside, imo

I assume we signed him because we're focusing on developing younger players with more upside such as Mooney and Rushton but need somebody who has already played at an NRL level in our squad in his position. He's on $200k which is pretty much the bottom for a forward with NRL experience. He's not blocking anybody's path to first grade.

The moment he is (predictably) picked in the 17 for Round 1, Elliott will be doing precisely that Pat.

We’ve seen Rick have plenty of misguided blind spots over the years. And he never plays rookies when he can select a senior player (even when that player is a hack).

I would feel better with one of the youngsters you mentioned on the bench - even if it’s one of Rick’s 0-5 minute cameo specials - than Elliott bringing his very average game and off-field baggage to our setup.

You’re allowed to have an opinion too. You want to be a Rick apologist - go for it.

But feel free to point out anything I’ve said about Rick in that post that isn’t based on fact or on his previous behaviour in the role over nearly a decade… I’ll wait

And how is it controversial (or “punishing” as you put it) to voice a view that prefers some young player development over a re-tread player with a history of behavioural problems, who barely played an impactful game for the worst team in the comp?

If you’ve got a problem with that, well I’m not sure you have a lot of business discussing rugby league on a forum with other adults champ

I agree that he will likely be picked in the 17 in round one and if not, he will likely be first cab off the rank when injury strikes in the forwards or if a forward isn't performing. But I disagree with the suggestion that he will be blocking somebody's path. We didn't see Lui or James preventing one of our younger players from debuting or being selected as regulars in the 17, for example. If they're good enough, they will overtake Elliott in the pecking order.

Two problems with this. I said with a friends girl and we aren't friends so you don't meet the criteria. Secondly she is a martial arts weapon and would destroy you if you tried to do anything untoward.

I heard about that and also that the Bunnings guy beat it by 10 percent.
