Excellent poddy that mate and very interesting. Matt Ellis is a very genuine blowk of great integrity and a fella who you cant help but like and admire. I agree with his assessment on many things that he says. The entertainment factor of RL compared to football. His principled and sincere outlook on youth players and stealing them. His views on the the Sky coverage. He shows a massive wealth of knowledge too coupled with a great deal of common sense.

His ambition for Trin is realistic and attainable imo. He has a genuine outlook on life which is refreshing. His life history is a great inspiration to hear. If sport had more guys like him involved then the world would be a better place. Top, top guy he is.

Watched Trin get battered by Saints on friday and I have to say it was an education watching that and a reminder that I still have many aspects of the game to learn and respect. I'm starting to get it bit by bit mate.
