As a starting hooker F-oath but his a gem of a utility though... He'll be a good jersey 17.
Even as a starting hooker he isn’t that bad, honestly JMK is the least of our problems. You have good 6&7 the nine doesn’t need to be a superstar.

that try tonight was a massive fuck you to Lewis

Lewis should have been there to collect his own kick, instead Averillo felt like he should run in there and take it, and scored

Averillo will struggle in defence but looks like he has great speed. I don't think we have the side that will cover his defence while he works his way into first grade.

He's our only hope in attack. I think he's being kept from starting on this team because of how shit we are and not wanting to damage his confidence. He should be starting when Foran is back tho.

Well if it wasn't for his individual effort we score no points at all yesterday. You look how Newie stepped up without any stars and our performance looks ever worse than it already did. We're fuked!

What your seeing with jake is a kid who understands space in attack. look at our fullback and halves atm. Zelezniak , this guy is a dumb footballer, he thinks he is a tough guy trying to run over blokes all the time and he cant pass the football, also he has proved he is iffy under the high ball. every time I watch lewis I think I'm transported back to 1975 and watching bomber peard, 4 up for the up and under. Cogger , well pays love child, he is not a first grade half, never will be, but pay will keep giving him umpteenth chances cause he probably sucked up when he coached him in junior reps. Let me say we have a really average side, speed and ability wise, but we are coached pathetically. Young jake doesn't tackle really well, and will leak points if he gets isolated like last night, he hasn't since he was first in our development squads when he was 13, but how do you bring him on, and don't play him in the halves where he can get some multiple touches and advance his game by telling first grade blokes where to stand and what he wants them to do, because he is already better at that now than the halves we have, and tell me he isn't the kid you want to have with the ball in his hands after a quick play the ball.......... We are of the pace not just on the field but off it as well.

Watching him play only about 15 minutes, it's pretty clear he's a talent

Kind of feel sorry for him being stuck in our side this year

Iv changed my thinking re Averillo and a few others - start him at FB DWZ to the wing bring in Harper to centre with Hopoate put smith back on the wing Wakeham n Foran in the halves.
Unless Meaney has clear space he has nothing and cant do the job of bringing back the ball, Chrichton was better last night.

Britt cant play second row - too slow as was shown in the trials - oppos get to his outside should too quickly - middle bench or grandstand.

Desperately short of second rowers who can break a defence and defend on the edge - Elliot n Jackson are far more suited now to the middle.

Lewis to the bench - at best - admire his defence but his attack is woeful.

Zac Hollywood - well said - Averillo is a natural footballer but defensively he will struggle in fg but the only place someone can improve is by playing fg - not likely to get better watching - no NSW Cup is an issue as well.
Your point about DWZ - so true - good that he runs hard but any good defneder or two contains him - they know he wont pass or step.
Cogger was crap at Newcastle - ordinary defender ordinary with the ball - enough opportunities.
