Averillo seems to be the new Kennel sweetheart... till he has a couple of bad games then -> Sack Averillo! Just like every other young prospect.

Jokes aside he played well on debut, but we've seen that so many times before. This team is just so inconsistent.

Averillo is Awesome.

This kid is a local junior... and a very natural footy player, once he has a few more games under his belt and pay leaves him there with wakeham so they can form a combo, this team will get better and we should see some big positives, better attacking and more points.

A few more minutes will be nice. Perhaps the 15 mins leading into half time

He was dangerous and had the defence in two minds every time he touched it. It was a very promising first taste of FG indeed. He has to start next week somewhere in the team.

Credit to Pay tonight for actually having Averillo in the side and using him. Yeah the first 60 was a basket case but at least he was willing to change it up and give a young guy a go.

A big statement from Pay to hook Lewis for Averillo and it payed off.. he should be applauded for that, took some courage.

Wakeham looks likely at 7 and Averillo at 6 is showing tremendous promise, showed his class with a quick decision to catch and kick for the last try.

I like that combo and they look comfortable together. In fact, they compliment each other.

I get the feeling Lewis and Cogger are death riding these blokes because of the threat they carry and that’s toxic.

Lewis is unfortunately not a real threat in attack, lacks that bit of speed and his passing and decision making needs some tuning. Great long kicking game though, huge boot.

Averillo looked more likely in 10mins than Lewis did in 2yrs. I think Wakeham likes to control the game and when Lewis was on, he looked disinterested cause he couldn't see what Lewis was doing....cause Lewis has no plan of attack at all. Lewis is a good kid and deserves to play but not as the dominating half...he just doesn't have the vision.

Lewis needs to put 20 kg on and move to Lock. He just has no running game at all.

I was impressed with his footwork looks very light on his feet, does anyone know if hes played fullback before ? Tons of speed good footwork and from highlights i have seen a good passing game. Would look good linking with halves or hitting gaps as the game wears on ie Tedesco. Happy for him to play 5/8 for now though.

Averillo looked great tonight on debut ... along with Wakeham these 2 with enough guidance and patience we could have 2 gun halves that we have asked for and wanted all these years!!!
Since this season could be a write off with covid19 it might be a good year for these 2 to develop and hopefully come 2021 they have experience to guide our team around and once again bring our team to be a heavy weight side once more!!
Up the doggies !!!
