Anyone know what Sean Russell’s favourite position is? Is it fullback or centre?

Read somewhere recently (I think it was TCT) that he is faster than Blake over 30m.

At least we can blame it on the Rein when we lose.

BTW I think he is a smart acquisition and he is my tip to be the surprise packet of 2022.

I haven’t seen him play juniors, but have been interested to know if he has any play making skills or just played fullback in juniors as he was the fastest/strongest/hardest runner (which is sometimes the case in junior reps)….

If I was a young footballer I'm sure my favourite position would be the one that pays the most too. As to what position he's played previously. In Harold Matts I think he started out on the wing then moved to the centres (Josh Tuipulotu was fullback and player of the tournament). Then in his 1 year of Ball he played centre. In 2020 he looked to be the Flegg fullback. Started out at centre for St Pats Blacktown but after 1 game was moved to fullback.

He's likely more suited to fullback but is equally adept at centre and wing, could also play in the halves if need be

Has he got a decent passing game?

It's good enough that if a pass needs to be thrown he can pass it. Just needs a bit more time and development to get it to a first grade level
That’s good, as expected in a junior, Gutho wasn’t great either when started in the NRL….

have wondered if he is a potential 14 utility option short term (if he doesn’t get a starting back spot) along with Stone/Rein/Perham…..he is going to be a decent size…

Normally I would say Rein would be lucky to get a game and be critical of such however in this case I hope BA flogs Rheed to death. 80 every week traitor. 😉
