Williams and Martin are both playing injured. Williams has his ankle re-strapped (and probably jabbed) at least once a game and Martin is on one leg. High profile players, brought in by the current CEO and footy manager and payed overs (as you have to), can't be out injured or membership numbers will suffer.
Russell has an unenviable job with the pressure he must be under to get players back on the park, for the wrong reasons. Hopefully, the reviewers will pick up on that and recommend that Russell be free to decide on player availability on fitness grounds alone.
