As a veteran Kouta doesn't count.
 
I think his pace, height, and skills are all reasonable too. His smarts and general football ability are what is letting him down. Our new development coaches could really benefit him in that area.

I have him in my starting 22 next season...

I agree with you...

The new development coaches at the blues are going to have to deprogram a couple of players apparently who Denis the menace stuffed up. I think that Russel is one of those.

He will come good with game time experience and as you said he could become a very good ball carrier for us on the wing or across the forward flanks. He has looked a lot better as a forward rather than a defender, but I think that he was only played as a defender for the same reasons hoops was. We didnt have a defence. And Pagan was desparate for defenders.
 
It aches me to watch Russell sometimes. He skirts around the packs, and just does not have that knack for finding the footy. Noticed this year though that his tackling is excellent, and he has started to kick the ball nice and long. I really want him to improve though and carry the ball. It think he will come good in time, just a slow developer.

We had one guy short on the list as we didn't use the pick this year. We have a full 38 squad with those 3 picks and PSD pick,Jamison is 39 as a nominated Rookie. I say if we use another pick in the draft, Saddington is gone,couldn't see Bannister going,he took some good scalps during the season.The only other guy not contracted that could go is Cameron Cloke and Jake Edwards still to sign but will.

People forget Blackwell or Wiggins they have 1 more year on their contract,Ackland has a year still he would go before those two.

His career summary echoes what many are suggesting in here - a slow start and gradual progression. His average statistics are increasing. Interesting to note that the first 'stat' to be noticed (as we assess it in the Blueseum) is his tackling, which is something he appears to have worked on over the years, particularly in 2007.
