Russell is getting 40s pretty comfortably and with Bird injured/JDB suspended can’t see many issues with job security

Great 18th man if you have upcoming byes

Very busy so he's good for around 35-45 most weeks I think with some potential upside.

My quandary this week is Lemmy or Garrick in the 17 (no loop available). Given everyone seems to be keen on sitting Garrick I am really tempted to zag and play him. Convince me otherwise....

Perhaps he can 'better' Nathan Brown's score from last week

So he’d have to basically concede error or 6 again on his first tackle and then get sent off straight away as well

Possibly serious dissent could do the job with a penalty and then marched for another penalty and then sent off

Averaging 55 without JDB this year with a bump from 48 to 55 mins on average. 63 in 61 minutes last week.

Dragons pack looks diabolical sans JDB, Bird, Su'a, Molo etc. Someone's gotta play big minutes, you'd think he's the only logical option.

Either that or thinking Robson + MoFo -> Lussick + Horse.

You know things are looking dire when Blake Lawrie and Joey Lussick start to look like attractive options.
