They swapped in second half.

You might be getting confused because of his positioning, he looked liked he was playing second row defending those 3 tries Ormsby scored on his wing

I get it with the familiarity of a position but you have to adapt quickly and yesterday he didn't do that and the fullback role definitely exposed his age and general condition at the moment with the amount of ground you have to cover, he was blowing out of his ass

It's one thing not training in that position but it's another thing looking like you've never played that position

He should have been in familiar surroundings, he is a specialist at fullback and after all has no 1 on his back

That sounds very much like what another poster on here as repeated as nauseum.

I am not aware of the post or the poster, it is just my opinion on how a specialist in his position performed when he moved to fullback

Back on topic, to sum Matty Russell up I would say he is a strong,quick athlete who happens to play Rugby League

Re: Russell ? : Mon Jul 25, 2016 4:12 am  
I'll say it as it see it.

Russell Lineham and to a lesser extent, Penny(good reserve winger) are not the future.
We are too week with them when you rival teams that have guys like Hall or Charnley etc.

Evans and Atkins cannot time a pass like the decent centres although I don't question, their knowledge of the try line and defence, and so are ideal to face up to the threats of class modern day wingers.

We just need to sort out this weak dirge on centres. We lost a class centre with Bridge although moving him on was smart, and failed to address the lack and recruit to fill that void.

I'd be tempted to move Hughes into the 3/4 position for the remainder of the season until we buy another.
Toby and Hughes at centre with Atkins and Evans on the wings.

We need strength and balance, we seriously lack it. TS still hasn't grasped the positive of having some structure in the quarters.

RD fully agree except for Hughes to 3/4 bit as not sure it achieves anything. Wings and Centres are weak although Evans and Atkins been solid enough this year to get by. Wings horrible.

What has Penny done wrong? The last game he played in was against Hull KR. The team on Saturday must include Penny on the left wing & Russell on the right.

I'm not sure what Penny has done wrong either, but, as far as Russell is concerned his lack of confidence under a high ball puts his place in the team in jeopardy for me. It was exposed at Widnes (was it two years ago when he got a belt in the mouth?) and then again at Widnes this year having to swap with Johnson on the wing depending upon whether we were attacking or defending.

As it stands get Penny back IMO Russell to play if Ratchford is unavailable I be saying my prayers that he is fit
