Official Corey Allan signs 3 year deal with Bulldogs

[Baseball Furies]

We need outside backs, with Jayden and Chrichton gone, leaves us very skinny for depth, I’ve seen enough of Allan to think he’ll provide us some punch in the backline and he can cover multiple positions.

 

[El_Magic]

He looked streaks above anything we had last year. I don’t get the massive wraps everyone has on Averillo. Looks decent but has plenty of flaws.

 

[albatross]

Don’t mind if we sign Allen. Anything over about 350k sounds high but he has something about him and could be very good. Looks slow and lumbering at times but I think that’s deceptive. He beats players regularly when he looks covered - pretty elusive for a big bloke.

Avo's future is at centre. Barrett is thinking this:

1. JAC / Allan
2. JAC / Allan
3. Cotric
4. Avo
5. DWZ / Okunbor / Meaney (battle of the duds)
6. Burton
7. Flanagan

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

It’ll probably be between Allan and Meaney, one on fullback and one on the wing as Okunbor is injured.

Averillo would be 5/8, and possibly transition to fullback when Burton comes.

If Averillo doesn’t improve his defence I can’t see him having a future at centre. He is a deer in the headlights at times.

Yep this is what i think barrett is doing for 22

Well he just accepted me on instagram and he isn’t following the dogs but does kyle flanno

 

[Pity Fool]

If, and thats a big IF this news is true, I wouldn’t be too disappointed because from he had shown when filling in for Latrell at Fullback and we he was selected for SOO it looks like he has finally realised his potential and is about to hit peak form in his career. Great speed, footwork and skills and also has developed the ability to draw in defenders and be a ball playing fullback like all great fullbacks should be equiped with. I hope the rumour is true because he could potentially be another Barba for us in the years to come.

 

[Headmix]

Good sign!! Just what we needed...affordable, talented..,young enough to learn and can be shuffled around the backline.

So 2021 could be

1. Averillo
2. JAC
3. Cotiric
4. Allan
5. Okunbor / DWZ
6. Burton
7. Flanagan

That is a top 4 backline

Sorry 2022

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Madone. And not the Madone your thinking. It’s more aimed at that Bulldogs 4 life page. I swear on the Holy Mudda that the cocksucker, excuse my language, who runs that page is on serious heroin. One time I was reading the page and he said we don’t post rumours yet he shared about 50 posts on the whole Bevan French thing. He is a fuckin retard

 

[Juicydog]

Cotric will not be playing in the centres

Barrett does not rate Nick as a centre

Moving forward (2022 onwards) our long term wingers are JAC and Cotric

Wouldn't suprise me.

As usual I'll await confirmation from the club about any signing. We are somewhat thin in the backline though, so can't hurt to sign another one.

That's what I thought? And I'm not trying to be smart about this, but I'd really like to understand where people see Av?

Or as I think @Spoonman84 said? Maybe Av really hasn't shown up in preseason? Failed to impress?

Still needs a little time to toughen up in my opinion. He had moments of brilliance. But also copped some big hits and went into his shell in a few games. Not sure where he'll find a regular position long term. But it starts with him toughening up IMO.

He looked streaks above anything we had last year. I don’t get the massive wraps everyone has on Averillo. Looks decent but has plenty of flaws.

The potential is clearly there with Averillo IMO. But I agree that he's not someone that I'd class as a star just yet. Occasional moments of class are great if you're at least solid in defense and contributing something in every game. But I do think he's not quite ready for the physicality of the NRL just yet. He pretty much skipped a grade to jump into the NRL and I think he'd have been eased in if we weren't lacking some class in the backline last year.

Blokes played origin and is a fullback wing I can’t see why not he is available mad not to look at him rather him then mansour he is 22
