No player is bigger than the team, if with options on the Market are limited and what we have coming through can improve the team the it may be he has to move to 6.
Russell is another freakish talent at fullback. We will at some stage need to accommodate him or lose him. Even worse Russell could move on then Sam head to union.
I think we will sign a half, and hopefully re sign Finch. But long term within the next 2 seasons I expect Russell will be our fullback, with Sam either in the halves or in the other code/Nrl.

Russell is 18 and still looks very raw to me. He had a decent game for Hull the other night but when compared to what Sam brings to the team from that position it would be a massive step backwards. This isn't one player being "bigger than the team" as you put it, it's simply playing our best player in his best position. If as anticipated Sam moves on after 2014 (hopefully NRL not union) then this is when I think we'll see Russell take the 1 shirt, when he will still only be 21.
