With an option to recall him after a month.

Oh I see....

You may have had him longer if Gaskell and Farrell hadn't got injured.

Not sure what the options would have been if we hadn't recalled him after the first month.

Did he play many minutes for you?

Re: Ollie Russell to Leigh : Mon Feb 18, 2019 11:16 am  

He played zero minutes, and they have;
Woods on loan from Wigan
Ridyard
Richardson on loan from St. Helens
Ollie not even on bench for their 3 games so far

Would have liked to see him play as Josh Woods only seems to pass and kick, doesn't really 'run at defences'. Ollie looked good in training, and was probably our fastest player, really 'quick off the mark'.

sure gaskell is back fit now so russell wont play for us either dont think

Re: Ollie Russell to Leigh : Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:00 pm  

Was always coming back after a month anyway i was told.

Re: Ollie Russell to Leigh : Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:02 pm  

would have been back sooner but sounds like they couldnt bring him back so soon

Re: Ollie Russell to Leigh : Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:09 pm  

Rules state he had to stay 1 month minimum

Yep - one month minimum was agreed.

Think idea was to give him some game time against some seasoned pros on a regular basis.

Might as well be back at Giants if that's not happened /happening.

Pity, think he would have gone well for you.
