It's not rocket science is it. Play Horne at the back when we are defending and bring him back to 6 when we have the ball! It's were he's going to be playing next years by all accounts. Can't believe Gentle has not done this already to be honest. Russell is class with ball in hand but he's very poor under the high ball. Every time the ball went up today I got flashbacks to Motu Tony!

Can't catch under pressure though which is a worry. But hopefully he'll get better at that as he get's more experienced.

I'd agree, although he was not at his best yesterday, he certainly still looked dangerous with the ball in hand.

He has exceptional balance and is the type of player who gets me on the edge of my seat when he has the ball. He is young and has someway to go before he becomes the finished article, but there is no doubt the lad has talent, and he's shown enough in his 4 games for us to suggest that he will become a solid super league full back.

I'd certainly be sounding him out about if he would be willing to sign for us and possibly offer Wigan some brass for him, can't see them taking the bait, but it shouldn't stop us trying.

Could not agree more but as you say he is young so will definately get better under the high ball.I would not like it if wellens was up against me with a huge bomb coming down!! I also believe that sam tomkins isnt brilliant under the high ball! the modern full back now needs to be able to return the ball with speed and strength and this lad has it in abundance! Big future in the game for me

I don't think comparing Lyne to Russell is fair tbh. Although they are the same age, the comparison ends there. Russell is an exciting prospect in rugby who will go on to have a great SL career, possibly leading to international rugby, albeit maybe in a different position to the one he is currently playing in. Reece Lyne looked a great prospect up to about 16/17. He is now at best a below average championship winger who I don't expect to ever make a career out of Rugby League.
