Seriously... Skelton does this too often to not get selected.

Wtf does Averillo do? Defence can be taught, but this shit cant be.

That was just shit defence
He would have been smashed in FG
And he is playing on the wing in reserve grade, does what does that tell you?
Fmd laughable

If you combined Flanagan's defense with Averillo's offense you'd get a decent NRL player but as they are both are not NRL standard.

maybe that is all that is needed.

Set up a reservation at a cafe like Jobels, just those two for a few hours.

And they can have a conversation, and learn from each other.

Skeltons my boy but he ain't ready yet.

He comes from Rugby and even worse, the 7s. He will earn his spot down the track.

Wasn't his best game, but maybe if JAC is selected in Origin Skelton will get his chance. It appears that Ciro sees something in Averillo and wants to give him the opportunity with the right coaching to see if it is something, or whether he needs to be moved on. If he doesn't become more consistent soon though even Ciro will lose patience. Ciro is obviously big on D, and D is all about effort and that is where Averillo is not where he needs to be, he needs to start showing improvement.
I just hope Ciraldo saw this video

he was a totally different player at fullbacl last year, i think he'd offer more than perham who's too small doesnt back up, lazy getting back in position and doesnt have a passing game

In attack Skelton is a beast and better than Averillo.

In defence, no matter how much Averillo is critised he is still better than Skelton.

Skelton needs to learn how defensive patterns work in the NRL.

His time will come. But he isn't ready yet.

Jake has moments of brilliance and total off days… still finding his feet seems hot and and cold but he needs a season in his role.

2. Skelton
3. Kiraz

Can switch on the fly when needed.
Exactly. Who out of our back 5 would we prefer bringing the ball back out of our own end ?

A tackle buster like Skelton or a lightweight like Averillo ?

Wtf is 4 years not enough to learn, Phar Lap had a big heart and won races, he has a pee heart, my youngest son could tackle better than him.

it kinda tells me you can’t see a potential 1st grader, regardless of position…

Skeltons my boy but he ain't ready yet.
Ours… I am a massive fan of Helta

I don’t think he’ll be anywhere near FG next year when Crichton and Xerri arrive. Good player with some pace and footwork but his defense just isn’t FG standard.

Not too long until Fox is out for Origin. Skelton comes in - if he kills it, that might be enough for the boss to try him over Averillo.
I’m confident Foxx will be overlooked again. I think that Suaalii will get the nod.
