Now I've been against Russell playing first grade, his had moments, BUT that game against the Broncos was a 5 star performance especially marking up against Stagg. That try he scored may well have be a fluke but still needed to execute it, his defence all game and his running mtrs were outstanding. Maybe he did need 50/60 first grade games as some do to realise they belong in the top grade. Whatever happens his confidence will be sky high, and I for one am happy and cheering for him.

Cops a lot of hate for no reason, the kids solid. He's pretty quick and defensively extremely solid, gave it to Staggs the whole game.
Pretty sure in the pre-season challenge he ran down Xavier Savage who's considered one of the quickest in the league.
may well have be a fluke but still needed to execute it, It was no fluke...in a game of pool,if your shot bounces off the cushion and sinks centre pocket, it's a fluke. If you tried for a double you pulled it off....Russell had the temerity to try it and pulled it off
Now for the second act....
Yawn.
Russell is improving with every game, and i think his improvement coincides with the arrival of JAC. Ryles has shown faith in him, and as long as he keeps improving, the centre position is his for as long as he deserves it.
Very happy with his performance against a top quality player. Hopefully this is his next level and can string a few games together
100% agree with that. He put some pretty big shots on Staggs and kept him quiet most of the game. He's also averaging over 100 running metres per game over the last 3-4 weeks and makes around 20 tackles per game with very few misses. Let's hope you're right about the 5/60 games, it'll be interesting to see if he can take it to another level with the confidence he takes out of that game.
