Along with inside centre,Beale is Melbourne's high-profile off-season recruit and he is expected to make a big difference to its play.
But Beale failed to recover from a hamstring injury, which means he will not line up against his old team, something that Elsom, who is also sidelined with a hamstring injury, was not unhappy about.
"We have dodged a massive bullet with Kurtley not being fit to play," Elsom said.
"James offers a certain type of creativity and explosiveness and Kurtley offers a very different type to that - particularly in his counter play, he is very difficult to contain if you are not 100 per cent on the ball.





The war are missing several of their own threats with Elsom, inside centre Berrick Barnes (groin), lock Dan Vickerman (leg), winger Drew Mitchell (ankle) and winger Lachie Turner (hamstring) also sidelined, in Turner's case for the season.
 But Elsom has a lot of confidence in rookie fullback ber who will make his run-on debut after playing impressively off the bench in the Waratahs' heart-breaking 25-21 loss to Queensland Reds in Sydney.
