Jamie Russo

[Ari Gold]

Anyone know what happened to this player? Played NRL a few seasons back and played for burleigh last year.

Jamie Russo is playing for Wyong in the Newcastle comp. This year Wyong have quite a few that played 1st grade. Paul Stringer is captain-coach, also Julian O'Neill, Dane Morgan, Troy Pezet and Dean Amos.

Jamie's cousin Chris Smith is playing his 7th season with my side, the Sydney Bulls in the Jim Beam Cup.

How is big Charlie Farah & your other big props going Nfed?

 

[Nfed]

Charlie Farah is one of the 9 players from the Bulls that played both JBC and Premier League last year. He played about 15 games for the Bulldogs last year but played in both grades for last 5 rounds so he could qualify for the Bulls in the finals.

He has played the first 4 rounds in Premier League this year and had a run in 1st grade during the trials so we dont expect to see him in a Bulls jersey this year.

Fred Briggs was the other prop and arguably Man of the match in the Grand Final. He played the last round in P/L last year and has also played for the Bulldogs in the first 4 games this year.

Russo played 6 for Wyong in the first round and was apparently oustanding(O'Neill 7) but got moved to 13, O'Neill to 6 and Pezet to 7 when Pez returned. O'Neill has since gone to the centres so I'm assuming Russo is back at 6

any chance of a return to the nrl

 

[Wilco]

I sure hope not. He was bunkum at Souths (the only team he played first grade for) and looking at our rosters for the last couple of seasons, that was no suprise.

 

[Sanchez]

what about for other teams surely theres place at least in the top 25 of a team

If he ever plays in the NRL he will actually have to learn to pass, kick or run. He could do none of these things at a competent level when he was at Souths. I would really be skeptical of any club who signed him.

Add Canberra to that list.

 

[Wilco]

I have looked into it; he started at Parramatta, then went to Souths and played his only first grade football there, then moved to Canberra midseason and played about 4 premier league games.

He then disappeared to the Qld Cup.

 

[Spike]

Look harder. He started at the Roosters where he played a few first grade games. He then went to Parramatta at the same time Dean Widders did. He then went to Souths then on to Canberra.

He then disappeared to the Qld Cup.

Funny, I thought he played in it. Looked quite visable to me.

 

[Mad Goanna]

Tore his quad or groin playing for Wyong yesterday while he was kicking off. Had a bit of practise for the day as well. Scored a good try after great leadup work by Paul Stringer.

:lol: Don't let facts get in the way of a good story champ!

He was a Marcellin College Junior and played his junior footy for the Roosters...so therefore started at the roosters not parra...way off the mark there!

 

[Gentleman Jimmy Cowell]

He is actually a Sunshine Coast junior signed by the Roosters at 16 and they moved him down to finish his schooling.
