Quote: Boss Hog "It looks like we we odds on to sign George Hirst from Oldham and were stunned when he opted for Wigan instead.
We then signed Ben Russell as an afterthought to cover the 2nd row position after we missed-out on Hirst.
I watched the game on Sunday and Russell was very average, and doesn`t have age on his side to develop.
Hopefully we will be surprised how well he plays for Wire in 2025 for us.'"
I hope you are right, like I said earlier I’m hoping coaches see something we don’t. My only real concern is he has taken the last quota spot and we are stuck with that and it would be hard to replace him with someone from here.
