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

Ge has 2 years left.

A swap deal would be good i like Bailey good player nice bloke but that's the business players come and go

of 8

"I think it's pretty obvious the eels need to shed a player or 2 to get a one or 2 big signings over the line. Simo is great and I love him but he does have an error in him and so bad defensive reads "

"He's a decent player, gave us good service but is far from a match winner and not going to get any better.
I have great respect for Simmo. Let him go if he wants to. "

"I might be wrong but let me post again, who says this is Bailey getting told to go?
THIS IS BAILEY's DECISION. As far as I can see. I don't think Ryles told him he's surplus. "
