If we had already let Russell move to another club why wouldn’t the other club have announced it and played him during a busy Easter period? Unless the club have been given a special dispensation from the RFL, which would seem unlikely.
I have no doubts we want to offload Russell now that Charnley is here, but in my view that’s because we already have 3 wingers in the squad and Price thinks 4 is too many.
Cheers Alffi and St Helens Wolf it makes sense and potentially good reading. If as reported we are still paying part of his salary and St Helens Wolf right, we can use Russell's cap space for a reinforcement if he heads off to Barton.
We might be down on squad numbers, but, we must have some decent earners taking us up to or close to our limit? Although reading between the lines, Charnley was our previous cap space and now that's transferred to what we were paying Russell?
