He also led the Sydney Kings to two Grand Finals but was unsuccessful losing to the Melbourne Tigers on both occasions. Just like the Pirates, the Kings had to fold at the end of the 2007/08 NBL season. Without a club, Russell was about to retire before he signed with the Townsville Crocodiles as just days before he signed the Crocodiles lost their star centre Ben Pepper who had “family issues”. Once Hinder landed in Townsville, he announced that he wants to help the Crocs win an NBL championship as the team has not won a Championship and Hinder has been in three NBL finals but has never won a series. Hinder won the 2008-09 Townsville Crocodiles' Players' Player Award. Hinder will be sidelined for the entire 2011/12 NBL season with a broken leg.
