Despite Elliott’s fascination with physiological procedures he steadfastly maintains that Rugby League is a simple game that can fall victim to overcomplication from interfering coaches. Elliott has a penchant for technique and basics and says he won’t stray from that principle. “I think basic skills are and always have been the core of our game. How you actually carry the ball, how you pass it and your general tackling technique. The way you do those skills may have evolved over the last fifteen years but the principles stay the same. "I think kids do need to be exposed at some time to some of the more technical aspects of the game but up until about, say fifteen, I think they should engaged in areas which are simplistic in their nature. "Things like the spiral pass irk me. It wasn’t that long ago that only a few players used a spiral pass and now everyone does; but I still believe that the spiral pass isn’t an effective pass over a short distance, certainly over ten or fifteen metres it is, but percentage wise it’s not good to use over a short distance. "But because children are taught nothing except the spiral pass from a young age that’s all they seem to do”.
