Averillo has been playing behind a forward pack that doesn't win the contact battle and is therefore always on the backfoot. Chuck Cleary, Jahrome Hughes, DCE or Sam Walker in our side and we have similar issues. If we can't go forward, there is no point criticising the backs. Signing Brooks, Johnson or whoever isn't going to change that. Not even Burton. Need to announce some forwards that get over the ad line asap.

Your kidding averillo is what 20 he’s got talent he will get better and better
He might be young and talented sure, but that doesn't mean he has what it takes to be a great 7. The dogs chasing SJ proves that we probably need someone else steering the ship at 7 before we hold out on Averillo to take the reigns

Look at Munster in origin 1 and 2. His forwards got dominated and he played shit

Luke Brooks had the potential to be a superstar when he first came through with the Tigers. He was super hyped to be the next big thing. But yeah I think he is overrated and he is asking price is too much. I would persist with developing a halfback... whether it is Averillo or BBO.

We literally have won the forwards battle 2 games and they are the 2 games we have won. The reason for our blow out score against the Dragons was because they were puss and our forwards got a roll on and Averillo iced the opportunities provided to him.

If we can win the forwards battle 13+/25 games next year we will be in the 8. It's a pretty simple game footy.
