Anyone have any idea when he is back, can't wait to see him play again!

I think there was another thread that stated Russells strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths - strong return, strong off the mark from dummy half
Weaknesses - positional play, organizing the defence, communication.

For me the strengths outweight the weaknesses unless he can develop them out of his game.

Our best full back for many years - Hodgson - was not a strong returner or strong from dummy half but he was excellent at chiming into the line, organzing the defence and communicating.
That's why I think Russell will be behind Gidley at fb and Ratch will be in the halves.

I'm suprised that Ratch isn't there now if the intention is for him to be there next year with Kurt at fb.

Looks like
Gidley
Lineham
Bridge or Monas (I assume one wont be here next year which is a real shame if it happens)
Atkins (i'd like Bridge there)
Ormsby / Evans / Russell
That's really tough on Penny who I think played very well at fb earlier in the year

Coupleof additions there

He's the backs equivalent of Danny Lima to me.

Danny Lima, now that's a prop I would swap Asotasi with.........even now
