Couldnt get him on the park at GC, we havent been able to get him on the park either, there is a common denominator here. Same for Marchbank, Cunningham, Fantasia etc.Its been a bit of an ongoing joke that these injury prone players we have wouldnt have played many games together but its a sad reality of what the S&C staff as well as coaches and MC have had to deal with and we have been running with a smaller list than most other clubs for years now in terms of availability and its come back to bite us.
For me its a recruiting and list management issue and Russell is a more minor issue, its just a shame its all come to a head in a season we were a genuine premiership contender. Core Players who needed a rest cant have one becuase we have such a large group of permanently injured players we have to carry and we lack depth in key areas.
The lack of KP depth is appalling imo.....just gambling with fate that Charlie, Harry and Weitering never get injured was always a high risk strategy and this mania for recruiting wingman and small bodied players is frustrating.
