People said don't get Elliot because he is going to another club next season. Ipap is going to another club next season. Barnett looks like middle player but played a lot on edge previous seasons. He's been filling in at lock with Mann out
Seen people wanting to pay 260k more for Elliot now than I did weeks ago because what about job security. Sometimes just got to take a punt
Elliott changing clubs had nothing to do with recommendations for/against him. I don't think he's actually signed anywhere back when he hit the starting side in any case.. People said not to get Elliott because Ricky is a madman who changes rotations at the drop of a hat. People just didn't have confidence that Elliott would remain starting hooker.
They were right too, although fortunately for Elliott owners he went to starting lock instead.
I don't think anyone was warning anyone off iPap because of the new club. If anything, the dominant view is that this was Parra's best shot at a premiership for a while and they would clearly play their best lineup all year. Most people avoided iPap for other reasons (not sure if 2021 was an anomaly or the "new normal)
