Any update on George Hirst?

29 in December. Plays Centre too.

Rather Lindop gets a run at right Centre

Is this a Frizgibbon replacement Abe or are they hoping for him to play next year?

29 with 8 NRL appearances? Possibly not a replacement!

Not an anything based on them stats. Can only guess he is cheap but having said that I’d say not good use of a quota spot. Time will tell I hope.

Got two conflicting Fitzgibbon stories last night….one saying he’s good to go and one saying he’s definitely retiring???

Well that narrows it down

Don't believe the retirement rumours at all, just seems to be fan rumours with nothing solid at all backing it up.
Dan Russell i know nothing about, but if Burgess see's something in him i'll trust that. He's a big guy, 6'4 and 16st so should add some punch, but no idea on his skill level?
Burgess has made FAR more good decisions than bad ones so will let time answer the question on him.

I faintly remember Russell from the World Cup, he was the only ginger in the PNG line up in the game at the HJ. Like Tai, I think he will be cheap and I hope he doesn't become the scapegoat in the same way Rodrick has.
