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.
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.
His defence was great, it was actually an amazing part of his game this year. I think most people were just rightly frustrated by blowing quite a few opportunities by not getting the ball to JAC in time with his slow hands.
I'd still prefer Russell over Brian Kelly though, an off-season could get him ready for this year.
"Albo's way worse than Gillard. I never saw her cry adressing the nation. When he came out on sunday night to speak as the country's leader and read from a prepared speech, I wondered if the tears would come. They didn't, it must not of upset him…"

He should sign with them.
Who do we replace him with??
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

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.
