We actually confirm some info together.

You know the dogs are having a bad year when TK is more excited about signings for next year than what's happening on the field this year. The SJ signing will be a watershed moment for the dogs because it will be the first time in more than a decade that we've had genuine quality (rep level) halves.

Nah, throw enough darts you eventually hit. He’s made a heap that haven’t been true.

Avo is a fullback and Baz wants him in fullback for 2022 and beyond.

Still doing a better job than Flopagan.

My opinion of the pecking order is...

1. Avo
2. Wakeham
3. Lewis
4. Daylight
5. Moonlight
6. Daylight again
7. Flopagan

This all means sweet FA because in 2022, it's going to be

1. Avo

6. Burts
7. SJ

How often does Flanno do that? Once every solar eclipse?
If you were as good as HB as you claim then you would have played in the NRL and we would all know who you are.
That shows your lack of understanding of HB. What did our greatest ever player do? He was a running HB called Steve Mortimer who scored countless brilliant solo tries or broke the line and set up tries for others.

A real HB must have vision, kicking, passing AND a running game.
Do you know why? Because a HB who doesn't run the ball telegraphs to the opposition what is coming next.
If a HB has acceleration he can score tries from nothing in addition to setting up tries for others, for eg Steve Mortimer, SJ at his peak.
If a HB lacks acceleration he'll instead run to the line to commit defenders, take the hit and put a player through a hole -eg Johns, Thurston.
Why is Avo playing HB despite his flaws? It's because the more experienced Flanno failed miserably as HB.
To finish off you sound like someone who thinks that a HB is a "game manager" who leads the team around the park by passing the ball 5 times and kick on the last on every set.
I don't call that type of "HB" a "game manager", I call him "dead weight".

Don’t even compare Turvey to Averillo.
Averillo doesn’t create anything for anyone else at the line. He has fuck all line break assists and fuck all try assists , so not sure your argument about that has any validity .

In reading your assessment it seems you are happy to have a team with no one as a game manager to provide direction around the park , and you think this will lead to success ?????? All the good teams have a major play maker directing them around the park . And a lot of great half backs aren’t strong ball runners when they first break into first grade. Cleary took a couple of seasons to get his running game in order. Cronk took a few seasons to develop this as well. What they both had in common though was to be able to direct traffic and pass and kick at the right time and point the forward in the right direction. Flanagan can still work on his running game as his still only young and in reality is still inexperienced himself. If we had a Cam Smith type of 9 capable of running the team then we could probably afford to have Averillo at 7. The fact is we don’t and won’t win footy games persisting with him at 7.

Are you actually reading the shit you're writing and thinking of Flanagan in relation to it???

Seriously???

And you're going to harp on about averillos inability to steer us?
