"Agree, while I would've been happy if we'd signed Keon. I much prefer Spencer and if we'd had to beat Dragoons OTT contract for Keon, I think it would've been a mistake. Personally I hope Ryles starts Spencer for 20 then subs him for Junior then…"
"Good, that's finished now. We did have the leverage and seems he finally agreed to the terms before WC just to get it out of the way.
Samoa are training at Kellyville so good time to do it."

He should sign with them.
Who do we replace him with??
Kurupt, it's a no from me. That Bob guy is a defensive liability....no lateral movement.
Rusty gets more hate than he deserves its the BA effect.
Hes improved so much and you need players like him in a squad you cant have elite players in all positions
But if the bears throw big coin he should take it
Yeah / Nah, I suspect most pundits have been spot on with his skill levels to date. The ball has always been in his court and he has been afforded every single opportunity to excel.
An honest depth player, that sees too much time in first grade if you want a premiership winning backline.
'If he is able to secure a better at the end of his current one, then he should most certainly take it, until then I prey the Addo Carr effect keeps making him better.
He is a defensive Centre who fed JAC well this year. He will never be world class but he is FG standard. Teams have won comps with defensive Centres in the past.
mmmmm okay can I ask a simple question.
If the Eels wanted to upgrade their current game day squad (top 17), as of today, would Russell be in your top 3 to replace with someone better.
Yes, as our centres (both) are prob one of our weaker spots, but when you consider available players and the price differences, no.
Most people are spot on with his skill level, but the difference is in expectations.
It'd be great to have star players in every position but it just isn't realistic. To balance out the team and cap you either need be fortunate with juniors who over achieve or have cheaper players like Russell who you can rely on to just do their job. He's been feeding Addo Carr well.
