Elliott Miller is the best all round player we have. He deserves the opportunity to regain his place as first on the sheet, he's come back from major injury before when he hurt his back. He'll do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I know similar applied with Leon but Chris as a former 6 has to get hold of Jamie in the offseason and instill into him what he requires in professionalism , game management and conditioning . He has the attributes to consistently be the star man above and beyond this level but I fear he’s in danger of stagnating which would be a shame with his natural ability . He’s got to be in the best shape and clued up to use that ability to control games for us - which he should do week in week out . Not knocking him , but it’s frustrating I don’t think we’re getting everything that’s there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoped he might improve as the season went on but some of his attempts to tackle are just laughable and it seems hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 But cutting Elliot isn’t gonna improve you , only give you even less strike than we have . A fit Elliot , let’s be honest , is a big majority of it . Of all the players you could argue about losing to move forward I’d have him right at the back of the queue . We’re at the basement level , you’ll simply get no one better than him . He’s one of the few who’s better than this and losing guys like him kicked away the ladder up which we trying to progress . Give him a chance to bounce back (again ) , there is literally zero logic in losing your few prize assets . Adding to them is the key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townie88 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I thought it was a joke at first but he must be being serious. Elliot is one of the handful we have who are already championship level. To say youd let him go is laughable. Just because you have a season ending injury doesnt mean you cant come back even better.

DavidM Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Jonathan Thurston had two shoulder reconstructions in 2007 .
