Ask yourself this would Averillo and JAC ever be mentioned as a origin FB ? Even if half the comp is out injured they wouldn’t. Allan isn’t as bad as you all are making out to be. I rate him higher than Dufty at Fb. He is the best FB at the club
If Allan can get back to his Souffs form which saw him represent QLD then he becomes valuable for us covering FB, Wing and Centre

Wakeham is in his final contract year next season. He knows he needs to train hard and play well to earn another contract somewhere which is going ti be tough because we have 4 young halves all competing for the one halfback spot that’s up for grabs in our team.

Well seriously you do have to make allowances for size dont you? :grinning: Like comparing a grown man muscling up on a teenager? Seems fair :grinning: plus she's the Aussie Sheila. You go girl lol.
Is that Kerr?

Bennett let Allen go from the Broncs, wouldn't play him at Souths until they had injuries, then didn't want to keep him again. He played OK on the end of a team of stars but only played Origin because he was the last man standing for QLD. He played well in 1 game after a shaky start but he's really done nothing else. If he gets a go I hope he plays well and impress's some other teams.

JAC probably gets first crack at replacing Dufty?
the bloke hasn’t even played a game yet, if he does happen to fail then prob fox but i reckon he’ll have a blinder. if that’s the case then he’ll want another contract. if he has a cracker season we’d obviously want to keep him though? he’s never played in a team as stacked as ours, dragons have been trash for years and he hasnt had the opportunity as he does for 2022. if he falls on his face and he’s hopeless then i’d say fox to 1 and either a development player bought in or a cheap winger purchased. to be honest i’d like to see fox play 1

he’s better than untried averillo who’s terrible one on one and can’t catch a high ball 100%. probably 3rd in line behind dufty who’s actually played nrl fullback and fox who’s played the position in junior footy and a proven nrl player i’d say

how should averillo be in front of anybody seeing as he’s never played fullback? genuinely asking because i don’t get this avo to 1 thing
I guess it shows how bad I think Allan is. Averillo's a player with potential and there are similarities with five-eighth playing fullback (also gets BBO in the team and I want both of them in the team). I don't agree that Averillo can't catch a ball or can't tackle 1 on 1, especially when comparing to Allan. I think JAC would be more ready right now. Allan just needs to go asap.

You’re making it out like Allan is as bad as Damien Ford or Nick Youngquest. Yes he didn’t set the world on fire but who in the team did? At Souths surrounded by quality players he performed well linking between the halves and outside backs. I definitely don’t think he’s our long term fullback, but I’m saying we had bigger problems than Corey Allan last season

i'd be happy to move allen on before 2022 if possible and if dufty's no good throw JAC to 1 with Masters/Burns on the wing
