My opinion of Russell has been formed over many months of watching him. The fact that last night he knocked on at the PTB wasn't an issue for me, it happens. His inability to finish was a worry, however my concern is mainly focused on his lack of impact at the try line. The kick to the corner where he got bounced in mid air by the Widnes young winger sums it up for me. He's not good enough and we should be out of the Smith era of nostalgia. I want this club to win trophies and i doubt we will with Russell on the wing, he simply isn't good enough.
Compare him with every winger in the top 4-6 teams and he's bottom choice, we shouldn't accept that just because someone gave him a 25 year contract!!

Fair enough, but unfortunately it seems there is no one better in the squad (which is a whole other issue) as I can’t see Price ruining his chances as coach out of sentiment for a winger he hardly knows.
