been linked with signing russell from warrington, dont know how much truth in it

been with brough and ferguson in the scotland setup for a few years now

player i enjoy watching , hard to put down and quick

wing or full back.... maybe mamos replacement long term? murphy will be off so short on wingers for 2019.. especially if we lose mcgillvary too

We're losing Jerry?

I like Russell, I just don't see where he fits in. He's not somebody to bring in to warm the bench up.
We have enough backs surely?
Unless we can offload injury prone Mamo early and bring him straight in.

I think he looks average, good runner though, wire fans seem to really dislike him...

I can’t recall a game where matty Russell has particularly caused us any problems. He’s not what we need- he’s not a leader or a play organiser, he’s not a brilliant defensive organiser, So why fork out all that dosh when we have a perfectly adequate Mackintosh waiting to get regular gametime. Qe have a team full of “solid” players. I like solid players- but if we are going to go down that route at least let them be homegrown.
.

Agreed I'd rather have Simpson/Darnell in the squad, half the salary and a point to prove.

just a link with him ive read

certainly a good ball runner and elusive

will have to see, like i say murphy will be going so we only have two wingers macintosh and mcgillvary...but short.

If he’s so good why can’t he get in N underperforming wire side?

dont know, must be rubbish, just run with mcintosh and mcgillvary (thats if he doesnt go) and hope someones comes through the academy. always got jared simpson to fall back on if not
