[Freakzilla]

Teams updated.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Jake Avo went all the way to GC to not make the playing 17

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

I think the Raiders are in for an ugly season.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Is Bellamy round 1 win record going to come to an end v Penny?

 

[Raysie]

Jake Avo went all the way to GC to not make the playing 17

Literally took the words out of my mouth.

I don't get it. He went up there because Bennett wanted him. I don't remember him saying Bennett wanted him at No. 19.

 

[Freakzilla]

Jake Avo went all the way to GC to not make the playing 17

WB was not impressed by his defense I would gather.

 

[dekepefc]

Well he is average so I'm not surprised he missed out

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Wayne is old like Biden and is confused, obviously.

 

[Moedogg]

Jake Avo went all the way to GC to not make the playing 17

We are the only ones who rated him. Yes he can score some nice length of the field tries but his defense is not NRL standard.

 

[Dogzzz of War]

@CrittaMagic69 your boy is killing it

just like you said he will

because you know everything and are always right.
Great call champ, we should listen to you more often.

 

[Dogs4eva13]

WB was not impressed by his defense I would gather.

Bennett falls in and out of love with backs very easily. Niu looked good in the trials. Avo is probs going to have to play Qcup and wait for an injury. Could play some games as a14.

 

[Moey91]

Wayne is old like Biden and is confused, obviously.

 

[Dogzzz of War]

Wayne is old like Biden and is confused, obviously.

I reckon you’re like Biden

 

[Cook]

Some weak looking teams. Warriors Sharks looks a cracker match up. I’ll back Bellamy and Bennett both early round specialists

 

[Nate DAWG]

Jake Avo went all the way to GC to not make the playing 17

@CrittaMagic69 will be inconsolable

 

[Moedogg]

@CrittaMagic69 will be inconsolable

Honestly, I doubt he would find a spot in our backline if he stayed.

 

[dekepefc]

Jake Avo went all the way to GC to not make the playing 17

He went almost 2 hours north of the GC.. maybe the allure of seaweed lapping the shores of Moreton Bay was just too tempting

 

[Berries]

WB was not impressed by his defense I would gather.

I feel WB could have seen that from our tapes though. Strange to sign him for overs but not play him

Who said that he signed him for overs?
