Quote ="Refnom95"Really? Russell is the reason I made this poll. Though I agree Jack Hughes is fantastic and hugely underrated for the record. I feel so much about the way we play and why it works is down to Rusty's tackle busting and scoots. We would not be the top metre making side in the league without him. And he takes so much work away from our front row, allowing the likes of Chilly and Bash to do the big minutes they do and win the forward battle. While he is appreciated, I think he is one of our top 5 players and deserves way more credit for his contributions.'"
It is an odd one I will grant you that. Scooting, metre making and he has pace I can agree with. However can he pass, can he catch (we know the answer to this one) does he have a rugby brain and by that I mean from FB and I realise that there are different types of FB and not everyone can play the Hodgson chiming in the line/pivot game?
He's a trier and when he first burst onto the scene I thought we might have a player (we still might if he can nail a position and get a bit of confidence back under the high ball) when I see his name on our team sheet I'm not devastated but with a fully fit squad he wouldn't be in the 17 for me
