Maybe we can get them to put out a joint statement ?

Klemmer & Woods battling it out for starting half back.

I think we have to find a spot for averillo and bbo. I think the best way forward for team balance would be:

3/4: averillo
7: wakeham
14: bbo

by all accounts wakeham has pulled his finger out at training so deserves to be there. I thought he went alright in a few games towards the back end. If he doesn’t perform one of the other two steps up and at least this way they have been playing regular games so it shouldn’t be as big of an ask for them

If true finally averillo will play in his correct position. His best attribute is his running game can see him having a great season. Wakeham is our best option in the halves with BBO of the bench as utility, consistent game time and allowing him to develop chemistry with the side will make him a better player.

And I have to say this. If round one comes and flannagans names on the team list Barrerts hopeless.

Maybe BBO and Cook to share the 9..and JMK to re-unite with his brother at the Tiggers..
JMK will be surplus in 23,so send him to his brother now.

I believe BBO should get first shot at 7. Wakeham has had plenty of chances and never shown much. If he's pulled the finger out it's because he knows if he doesn't perform next year he's looking for another job (off contract). I'd rather Wakeham than Flanagan though.

Yes Averillo is a back 100%, not a half. If he can improve his defence and play centre it would be good.

Wakes has been training the house down.

Prefer wake over Flan in the 7.!!

What do you mean improve his defence ? His D was sensational this year, and if at centre is only one spot further out.

Wakeham has played 21 first grade games, 7 of those have been from the bench.

If we're going to be fair dinkum about giving guys a chance with a more quality around, then he deserves the same consideration. He's the most polished option at 7 we have for 22.

This post/thread does have a Dave Holland feel about it.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Pfft, Averillo is seen training in a position other than 7, therefore he is not 7. It's not like footy clubs have to think about injuries during the season and during games that require shuffling players around. Obviously a terrible idea to make sure a decent portion of your playing roster is at least passingly familiar with multiple roles.

Isn't Kasiano wearing the #7 next year?

These past 3 years we've been forced to throw wakeham and averillo in the deep end, ie first grade halves without a season of Canterbury cup under their belt.

So why would you think doing the same thing with BBO is going to work out for us?

I see your point and your possibly right, though i think BBO is potentially better than Wakeham as a halfback and Avo isn't really a half? so while it may work but yes has risk(s)
