I know people have been quick to take the piss out of Russell. Its pretty average when our own fans pump him when realistically the PM's squad is exactly about giving blokes a go that will arguably not ever be in that arena and for that I say I hope he relishes every last minute! A career highlight no doubt.

Its easy being a "know it" all fan, and I am not saying he is another Jamie Lyon, but geez the bloke cant be criticized for not having a crack, he can hold his head high in that regard.

I hope he plays his heart out and cherishes that jersey till the end of his days.

He is a handy back up. Or if our backline was stronger he'd be ok if he was in one position. Problem is our backline was weak.
It is much better in 2025. If he gets stronger he might become an ok winger.

Yep, well said! No superstar, but solid player, pretty young, who will get better with experience.

think he was pretty busted towards the end of the year too.
