    • 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.
