hea cover, he's younger, arguably better than pomeroy based on the last few years, And more importantly he's only on a twelve month contract

Exactly....hopefully you'll be happy with Mitch Brown once the season starts. What's all this about Matty Rusell...thought he was a decent player, knows where the try line is..etc

People on here know more about players than our new coach.

Where have I seen that before?

Probably over the last few years when fans have questioned certain transfers, and we ended up fighting relegation.

But yes, coaches always know best.

He's scored 6 tries all season. In no way whatsoever does he know where the try line is. For a winger that's woeful. Lineham has scored 19 this season with only 2 assists from his centre Atkins, Yet Lineham is hounded by a certain number of people on here. Imagine how many Lineham would score if he had Hiku outside him all season.

Russell has also bombed double that amount by not having the nowse to dive in or step inside. He's awful. Then there's the amount of ties he's let in by failing to deal with a kick.

However, he has a good scoot so that's alright...

And three of those were against a vastly under-strength Halifax in the 'Middle 8's'

Yep.

And in 2016 when we weren't crap, he was outscored in our own team by:

Two other wingers, who each played fewer games than him, two forwards (second row + loose) and a scrum half.

He was also tied with our hooker.

These are not the stats of a player who knows where the line is.

He's a decent enough player in a number of aspects, but his try scoring record isn't good enough to play a position that primarily requires you to score tries.

Russell bagged a hatrick for Scotland around that period too I think.

A good summing up there. Reliability, yes - wow factor, no.

Whats that got to do with the price of fish?

Well it can affect wether it's that or a bridie to go with my tatties.
