This news certainly gives me a horn.

Where do you see Russel going career wise as a player?
200 NRL games? Flushed out for system in 3yrs? Origin?

I think it is to early to judge but I lean towards a solid player but never close to origin level. Unlike Penisini who is pure class.

On a different topic. Overated. Zac Lomax. I thought he could be anything. But now I see a guy who is solid with a flick pass on overs. His speed is well below average and he makes mistakes often.

Agree on Lomax, he’s regressed horribly. The Hook effect.

Getting worse. But at the sametime I am unsure he is as good as others thought. He is a slug.
At the right price id take him on. But unsure if he is worth more then 450k.
Even his goalkicking has gone down the drain.

Wollongong is a tough place to kick from with the wind but I assume he has missing them from everywhere being 4/13 or something along those lines from the sideline this year.

I would still take him and slot him into our backline.

1. Gutho
2. Sivo
3. Penisini
4. Lomax
5. Russel
6. Brown
7. Moses

Probably a better option than having one of Waqa, Bailey or Haze in there.

I reckon he has some type of injury... you don't go from a mid-to-high 70% kicker to a 60% kicker in 8 games otherwise.

Two posts ago you said that you previously thought Lomax 'could be anything'. Those others must have thought he could even better than anything.

But agree on his value. Too much of a risk about about 450k.

I've not watched him much in the last 18mths untill this season. Lost interest in him.
