Without him we didn’t win any Of the final games he is the perfect centre if we get a strike centre cause he has terrific ball skills and great under high ball .. never understood the hate he gets
He’s been very good for us. If he had more pace he’d be one of the best centres in the comp

Yeah you are right. There's fuck all havles off contract. Going to have to hope someone breaks there contract.
But who? There’s bugger all available that are better and more established than what we have now.

Short of trying to get someone to break a multi-year contract of course. BSmith and Harry Grant are both tied up at the Mexicans til end of 2022, for example...

I'd go for Jackson Hastings....young, just won the Man of Steel, goal kicker and would have a lot to prove back in Australia

Lots of opinions on who the Dogs should sign. Surely the most critical position is centre.
We are very light on in the centres. Hopoate fills a gap but he is a journeyman at best.
Hoppa, Averillo, Harper, Schoupp, Alomati we are well served in centres ATM. These youngs boys need a shot before we go spending cash we don't need to

Needs a couple more years to mature. He got booted from 3 clubs

Our problems are halfback and hooker, until we have those 2 positions filled with top quality players I cannot see the doggies throwing big cash at Fifita.
And I cannot see us finishing in the 8 either without a specialist half and hooker.[/QUOTE
What a put some quality centres like
Xerri fro sharks?

I agree that they are the best we have. But they are not established first graders except Hoppa.
We desperately need a strong strike centre. We do not have one.
The point I was trying to make is that forwards are not a priority. But it would be good to have them.

Personally we have always done well with a brutal set of forwards and 1 exceptional half. Center wouldn't be my priority just a big brutal instinctive pack that goes for big minutes & legally beats the crap out of anyone who faces them.

Agree I wouldn’t complain at all if we bought another powerful established forward. Especially if we don’t resign a couple off contract. The halves will go better if they are behind a really strong back.

Cotric is the only centre I'd pay money for... I'm happy to see how these boys go though. We've had a couple lean years and finally have a couple of great young prospects ... I just don't see the point now in spending up big and blocking their path and ultimately losing what we have developed

Not sure if he can kick but he might make a decent 5/8. He’d have to be close to our most creative (which is somewhat depressing tbh)

Hoppa and Harper yes. Tass needs to improve abit for fg. Averillo is more a fullback or half. And alamoti is like 15 so you can’t count him yet.
I’m a big fan of alamoti though. Will be a star in a few years

Agree on a few counts, but I don't see a reason why Averillo can't play centre for now.

Apparently his going to make his debut against the eels round 1
If Meaney isn’t fit and running by friday
Would be great to see. I have concerns about our left edge defence in that contest though.
Whoever Pay goes with for left backrow / half? / Smith / Averillo. Up against Mitchell / Matterson / Blake / Ferguson. Will be a big challenge for our boys and we will be a big chance if this edge holds strong. Perhaps putting Okunbur on the other edge is a good idea as it might draw them to the other edge lol

Good defender And a hard worker

Christ there is a lot of hype with this bloke, I mean he's a 107Kg backrower with good leg speed? Hasn't got an offload that I've seen, can't kick goals, tackles like a regular backrower and wouldn't scare the skin off a custard. 1mill for that? You'd have to have rocks in your head to pay that.
