We all know some players play better for different clubs but ability & talent still counts, also Huddersfield only ever get rid of player's who they consider mediocre or spent ! That can be unfair to individual's & this may be the case ! I don't think they will let him play for us before next season etc

Playing for Huddersfield tonight, and has been sin binned for a high tackle

Yeah, I've been watching it. He's played pretty well tbh, on the ball practically every set and has tried his hardest to make something happen, which he nearly did with that little kick-through. Hudds are just lacking a bit more cutting-edge at the moment though.

I quite like the look of Ed Chamberlain at centre for Leigh and I think he’s out of contract. Certainly looks like a pretty good centre and at 28 could be a good pick up.

Hall has had a good game for Cas tonight too.

Cory Hall looked really good Cam Scott quiet game.

Watched the second half of the cas game… Hall looked ok I thought… Scott never got a look in as the Hull spine and middles were so inept it was embarrassing…
Hull got 1 out of 10 for their overall performance… Cas were a 4or5 out of 10.

When I watch the Giants, Esan Marsters always catches my eye. He seems to have been about the most consistent Hudds player this year IMO.

Chamberlain did okay but just looking, he hasn't half clocked up a serious amount of clubs so far in his career, not that's a bad thing, he probably just needs to find a decent club to settle at.

I think a few players are playing at Clubs that are just not working for them at the moment, either because the teams are poor or inconsistent, or the Coach isn't getting the most out of them and they're shot of confidence. There seems to be quite a few players around SL that are not playing to the standard we've seen from them in previous years and are generally in a bit of a rut in average to poor teams.

Russell for example seemed to work hard and did everything he could to get Hudds playing well, but they seem to lack the speed and a cutting edge to make the most of his passes and kicks.

Similarly at Hull, Scott just doesn't get a look in, he's part of a team that's completely lost its way and he's no doubt struggling with confidence because I would be playing for them. Hull just doesn't look like they practise together and haven't a clue in attack or defence for that matter. I thought it was notable when Houghton went off, they had that decent spell at the end. The kid who replaced him just quickened their game up, which in turn lifted the team and they started to play with more freedom.

Also as others have mentioned, Corey had probably his best game in ages but Hull gave him space to work, but you can only play what's in front of you and he looked more up for it and involved and played with a smile on his face that I haven't seen from him for a while.

Keeps his place in the starting team against Hull FC

They were dreadful against arguably the worst side in the league at the moment.

We have just watched the Kr -v- Shudds match and once again Russell was virtually invisible (tbf you could probably say that for the whole Shudds team ??)
He kicked it dead once, ran out of the line and missed a crucial tackle on Tyrone May which led directly to a try and generally failed to impress one little bit...why do we want this guy ??

Because its not about the odd game here and there..

May be the coaching staff see more in him. However, like yourself so far I have seen nothing that excites me about him. Further to that, I hope we have another half targeted , because a first choice pairing of Russel and Lino next season worries me

I think Russell tried hard enough without really achieving very much whilst playing in a team that have clearly lost their way.I do rate him and he's got a great passing game.I agree though that we need a marquee standard half back also.
Where that would leave Mason Lino if it happened I don't know.Lino divides opinion,and although he can win MOTM in some games he can be very poor in others,IMO.
Another player who we are strongly linked with and who gives me more cause for concern is Matty Storton.I have watched nearly all the KR matches and he usually comes off the Bench,for what seems quite short periods,and doesn't get that much involved,from what I can see.He will of course get my full backing if he's signed up,as does any player.

Though I’ve only watched a few KR games Storton is a player I thought showed up well and one who I’m looking forward to seeing if he’s announced.

Scott is having a pretty decent game today for Hull too in the second row. If he’s coming we might have a decent right second row there.

As for Russell I can’t say much different to others here. Not seen very much the little I’ve seen him play but I’ll trust the club if he’s signed. If there’s any option to look at a Marquee halfback though then it’s one position that could make a big difference.

Agree on Storton, he gets so little game time it's hard to judge him.
