Official Dolphins scoop up averillo for three years

[InGusWeTrust]

Lmfao at the reddit dumb **** takes. Making out Avo is a gun centre hahaha fucking clowns.

I really don’t care, we have plenty of good centres. I even rate Burns better. He’s actually become a very good player, just needs to stay on the field. Then there’s Alamoti, Xerri, Gabrael… the list goes on.

 

[chuckynemo]

Big deal. He’s had 1 or 2 good moments out of his years being here. We haven’t made the top 8 with him so why is everyone complaining. He’s very average and easily replaceable.

 

[diddly]

Dont think he is worth 450k - what bothers me is two months ago ciraldo was spruiking averillo as an elite centre - so what has changed - failed as a coach, talking more crap - elite centres are worth 450k.

re alamoti - only scratching the surface - not improving - poor coaching or more crap talk

 

[Flanagun]

Maybe if he wanted to stay so bad when offered to look elsewhere, why did he bother looking? If he wants to be here so bad why not just re-sign. No one’s bagging him out for taking more money are they? If they told him to jump
off a cliff would he?

You expect him to not look elsewhere when the club indicates he is not a priority by telling him to look elsewhere? Come on, fam. That makes no sense. Any player in his shoes would do the same.

If this means we are going to spend our money on some damaging forwards and a genuine no.7 then they can have Alamoti as well as Jake. We have plenty of backs. I even think Kiraz is a better Centre than he is a winger.

Best of luck hope he kills it up there.

 

[diddly]

WE OFFERED HIM A CONTRACT! Can people get the fuck over it. He took the money and ran. Fucks sake!

Gould comment about extraordinary opportunity -i read as he - Averillo - was offered much more than his worth by Dolphins.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

It is always a shame to lose a junior but Avo is hopefully the start of moving along those who aren’t up to it or what we need. I’m sure he got a good offer to go play up there. Hopefully the dolphin fans on here can go with him.

He doesn’t have Bulldog DNA. I’d say that’s why he’s been allowed to go. Good player on his day, but those days are few and far between. He’s had about 4 seasons to cement himself and is still not a very reliable and consistent player. Wayne Bennett is a knob if he’s gonna replace Aitken with him. I’d take him over Avo any day as he has the killer instinct we lack. Has scored some good tries this season through pure determination. The question is whether he’ll do that for another coach, as he wasn’t as good the year prior for Warriors.

 

[Bad Billy]

meh.

 

[Interestingg]

Considering all our cap space, and he’s one of our only attacking threats, there MUST be something in the works

 

[underdogsontop2246]

don’t care

 

[Nate DAWG]

I think it’s more reacting to not having faith in a junior who hasn’t been given a fair go, we all know barrett killed him. He stayed loyal and should have at least been repayed by the club. Plus he’s fast.

Dolphins offered him more than us. I agree that Baz didn’t help him but he not consistently performed in any position. His defence and avoiding contact has been an issue since he came into grade.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

Shame to see him go. Had real speed - the one thing that can't be taught.

See his gait the other day chasing Hynes?! Dude looks busted man.

 

[yearofthedogs2018]

Hopefully becomes another Mbye/Schoupp

 

[Bad Billy]

Fuck we have fallen from grace

[InGusWeTrust]

After he gets a sex change and plays for the NRLW yeah? Jakinda Averillo.

 

[InGusWeTrust]

I’m gonna Start doing like the nba and just follow my favourite players. Fuck this club has gone to shit.

Like Seinfeld says, you’re really supporting a jersey, not a team/player/players.

You know they said Averillo, right?
...Just checking

 

[under_Dogz]

He’s very replaceable.

Yeah Kiraz centre Skelton wing or Wilson. There is a lot of options. Personally I hate seeing local juniors go but it’s one position we can cover IMO.
