Russell has a few young players breathing down his neck. It really depends on injuries and form of these guys. A great opportunity for a young bloke to cement a first grade spot.
Fair enough. I think he'll start for Perth so I can understand. If Richie P, Twidle keep improving they might be first grade ready by 2027. Let alone younger backs. Let alone signings.
My understanding was twiddle and a few more of the younger blokes have gone to Queensland to play state cup up there don't know if true or not but thats what I've heard
Well it's a 4 year deal apparently and he would be on more money. Who would blame him?
He would not go well over there the halves they will have playing will be a step back and playing along side JAC has made him leaving that I can see his career going down the toilet I hope he stays myself but you can't pay overs for him either cause they probably will
Just goes to show that local juniors loyalty only goes so far. Richard penisni should be ready by that then
No lose, he an average centre that's easily replaced
This is great news.
Hopefully the club can replace him with a quality centre.
If the Foxx is an F1 car, Russell was your mum's old Corolla
This is an odd one as I am a Russell defender. He is a quality defensive Centre with not much else to his game. However, you can get better Centre's also. He would be a loss to what we currently have so far but he won't break the back of your team.
4 year deal and more money for Russell is severe overpay. Don't blame him for taking it at all.
