The journiest of journey men. But I suppose we're desperate.

We need a little bit of experience. We’ve a couple of younger lads who either aren’t quite ready or injured. As much as I’m not a fan of Russell’s and he can come in and do a job for 2 months that’s fine by me.

If he's available then that's already a massive improvement on the current incumbent.

Those younger lads aren’t really proper wingers either, Russell will do a job for us which is what these loan signings are for.

I agree. We can gnash and moan or just accept that we’re in need of a winger. I doubt there was a ton of options and as I said, if he can come in and do a job for 2 months then great.

He’s got a pretty good try per game ratio as well

Hope he doesn’t read Twitter, he’ll feel really welcome if he did.

i'm presuming thats your side, or the wigan fans, maybe not the fc fans, probably the wire fans.

there were a lot (myself included) unhappy that he was re-signed last year, even on a cheap deal, his last game for us against salford, he was pretty bad, letting balls bounce, generally being out of position a lot, he really looks out of place now in the burgess team.
