  • Hands is a nice extension and wouldn't have cost much. I'm not sold on Sean Russell yet. Has a lot of flaws in his game he needs to work on, I want him to be successful just not sure he has it in him. I won't complain but I'm hoping locking up Russell didn't cost much at all. 

    • Extended by a year, gives us time to develop some of the up and coming players and also gives Russel an opportunity to show his new coach if he can learn to eliminate some of of those flaws. Both these signings make sense at the moment.

    • Russell is a good NSW Cup winger/centre. As 4th choice first grade winger or something like that he's fine. 

      Hands I think can be a break out a bit. 

    • Russell is a solid backup. If he's in the starting 17 we have a problem. But he's a guy who could have a steady NRL career. He's not super brilliant, but he'll get the job done.

  • Hopefully they are both on minimum contracts as they are backups at best.

  • Why is Hands not as good an option as Brailey? Or ...why is a reserve grader at Newcastle a better option than Hands?

    • You won't win a comp with Hands at hooker

      • I think we all know that Hands is a stopgap with very good young hookers coming along , every club needs back ups and he is quite o k for that ,I don't know why so many are down on him 

    • Hands up for a big year in the new environment.

      Same with Ryley Smith

      • Geez I hope Smith kicks on. Like his style.

"That's a very strong SG ball side, I think Fletcher will take over Moses spot when he retires. He's having a very good preseason atm. Possibly could get a nsw cup debut at some point this year."
