Butcher:
That is a superb idea from Powell and Mills. Get him back up to speed without risking our results. Happy with how the Rourke-Jowitt-Lino spine is going and wouldn't want to disrupt that for the sake of bringing back a player who hasn't really performed for us even when fully fit.
Makes that basement battle on Sunday worth watching too.
To be fair to Russell though he has been in and out so hard to drum up any consistency. There were some flashes of good play though and decent link up.
This will help get him some match fitness and SL games under his belt.
