Jake Averillo is off contract at the end of next year.I've only seen him play the few games at centre in reserves and he slotted in easy and looked very impressive. I'd seriously consider throwing him in there at NRL level this season just to get him into the NRL side and get the experience and then look at transitioning him back into the halves.
Either way both him and Wakeham bring exactly what we're lacking in our squad, a genuine ball runner with pace and footwork and a genuine half that can ball play. We can't piss around with the likes of Lewis and Cogger if they're not making progress next season because we have these blokes with genuine raw ability that we need and they need to be given the opportunity.
Here's hoping we extend his contract asap.
