Rumour Alamoti

[Doggiezbrah]

Doing the rounds on social media. I want us to a sign him long-term. This kid will be special.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

If we want him he will stay

Makes sense, Averillo playing well demanding an extension - Xerri coming in 2024 and a QCup centre coming into the top 30 supposedly effective immediately… writing may be on the wall. Todd’s not flying from Townsville to Sydney’s southwest for sh!ts and giggles.

Gus you fuckwit. Get the deal done.

Alamoti is only 19 and is playing like he's in his prime.
He makes hard yards, tackle breaks for fun and is a natural player. Not like averillo, who scored 2 long range fluke tries against the Dragons and thinks hes tedesco.

He's built like a fucking beast and vs the titans he looked like a machine.

Interesting - since there is no RSL club in Beverly Hills. Kingsgrove is closest.

But why not say Kingsgrove?

Calling bullshit.

Well he said to call him buzz, so obviously this is just a drunken tweet full of shit.

Hopefully it’s just a check-in chat to see where he’s at, I seriously doubt he’d want to go unless unwanted.

I am torn between Averillo and Alamoti. If you asked me after Round 5 I would have had Alamoti well ahead. However since then Averillo has shown his speed and instincts are up there with the best but is abit of a lightweight for a centre.

Neither will be superstars but both are serviceable when surrounded by the right players. However we want great players not good players, and we need at least one strike/gun centre which we do not currently possess.

If Averillo gets the support around him defensively and settled combinations, he has better upside. The type of player in a big game or GF that could create something from nothing.

Hopefully with more size and strength in the coming years, Alamoti will become a tackle busting line breaking machine… Avo with the speed, Alamoti with the power - good combo.

Alamoti easily showed up Aaron Schoupp over the weekend.

We have to remember a few things regarding Alamoti:

- He's still a teenager. He's got so much improvement and growth left in him.
- There was a 2-3 week period there with injuries where he had to fill in on the Wing and obviously was struggling there on his own.
- It's no coincidence he looked to return to form with JAC's return. You can't underestimate what having a world class winger back does to a centre.

A lot of this will come down to what JAC wants.

 

[bradyk]

good competition between Xerri, Averillo and Alamoti if we can keep them all.

Alamoti hasn't really lived up to the hype in first grade. His fend isn't really working against bigger better players and he's a bit too slow which makes him virtually ineffective. I was never fond of Averillo but of the 2 Averillo is definitely performing better. We should re-sign Averillo and I'd even re-sign Burns on minimum for depth and experience plus he can play fullback. We have Xerri coming, the new centre from the Broncos and Skelton as back up also so I think Alamoti has become surplus to our needs. We can't keep them all. We need props.

It's taken Averillo 4 years to have a breakout season, while we're already crossing the line on a 19 year old in his first year in the NRL?

no great lost if he goes!!

 

[CQDog]

If we are fucking anyone off to maintain places it should be Xerri

There’s no discussion. Averillo has been our most consistent attacking weapon. He’s the better centre. Only part of the game that Averillo lacks compared to Alamoti is his average run metres.

Id rather keep Avo tbh.
