At the end of the 1992 NSWRL season Elliott played for the Dragons off the bench in their grand final loss against the Brisbane Broncos.

On 19 February 2006, it was announced that Elliott would coach the Penrith Panthers from 2007 onwards, having signed a three-year deal.
Elliott succeeded John Lang in this position.
In September 2008, Elliott was criticised for Penrith's consistent poor showings and it was speculated that he would be prematurely sacked before he saw through his three-year contract with the club.
Elliott however defied the pressure and criticism and managed to convince the board into letting him remain in charge for the 2009 season.
After a promising start to the 2009 season, Elliott's contract was extended to the end of the 2011 season.
In the 2010 season, the Panthers finished second in the ladder, but they did not win a match in the finals series.
Their 645 was the most points scored in the regular season, the second highest being 559.
On 25 April 2011, Elliott was informed by the Penrith board that his services would not be required beyond 2011.
