  It was a rumour started on NRL360 last night.

I guess bringing in Ado Carr and Lomax has really limited his chances to even crack the 17. Penisini is just a better player and Russell has been about even with him most of the season. He's probably looking at titans for a chance to be in the nrl regularly with less competition for spots. Especially if Richie penisini is next in line as well. Hopefully the club does sign some more depth for the backline

Hopefully it's some sort of of swap deal for Beau Fermor, but knowing the Eels they will probably give him to the Titans for free

Shame. He always played with plenty of heart.

  Definitely, but those damn injuries piled up and he's 27. He's been unlucky with injury and that gave Russell plenty of time to win that spot. Maybe a fresh start for him is best for all

    Sean's had one good game in five years. As the old saying goes: "One swallow does not a summer make..."

      He's just always ok or half decent, Bailey probably a better player but it's not a huge difference tbf. Club really does need to find a strike centre

"Our outside backs that won SG ball in 2023 were Richie, Talagi & Alamadine. So we had good ones coming through. RIchie is good. Talagi we all know. Alamadine did not have a pre-season and he started the season very slowly/poorly."

"Everything you have said I wholeheartedly agree with NOS.
It's sad to see him go, and yes, let's hope something is in the pipeline to soften his departure. "

"Probably a bit like Luke Kelly. Very comfortable at reserve grade level, ball playing is probably above that level, but not quite there in terms of speed of the game and reading defences."
