Ok. He's still better than Young and if we sign him I'd be willing to bet that he would overtake him in the pecking order.
I think Young has greater potential. Elliott's best was 3 years ago and trending down ever since. Maybe a change would do him good, particularly as it seems like his last chance in the NRL. Wonder who the other clubs are, or whether that's just his agent spinning?
At 24, Young definitely has greater potential than Elliott. Elliott is the better player as it currently stands though. It's funny to me that others find that notion laughable. At $200k, it's a no brainer.
No he's not

Yeah I wouldn't say it's laughable but on current form I'd have Young ahead of Elliott. Young had some cracking games last season, up there with MOTM. Elliott hasn't been at that level for 3 years. But as always if the club signs him I'd support the player.
I think that's a fair summation.
At his best, Young has been a very high performing player, capable of making a genuine impact in a top 4 quality team.
I can't say I've seen anything of the sort from Elliott.
And as poorly as Young was in defence a few games this season, Adam Elliott is statistically one of the worst forwards in the NRL in defence.
I simply don't see how Elliott is better than Young.
Still, he's worth a gamble at $200k.
