What’s the deal with Ava, is he in the top 30, I thought he did good yesterday, we could do with another prop forward

Train and trial deal so he won't be able to play NRL until after round 11 without bringing him into the top 30.

Had some decent runs, would be nice if they uploaded stats for this game but I think it's unlikely.

He was solid. Alot of talk from him too which was good to see.

Didn't make huge metres, but he found his front alot as the opposition couldnt wrestle him. Decent first hit up player.

Good size about him. Sit him down with Geoff Robinson to teach him how to run into the defence & then he could be anything.

Some of these big islanders I don't think want to hurt their opponents - they are too nice. If they learn to play at their full potential they could be World beaters.

He was only brought on for Mounties depth. Unless he literally plays the house down or we get decimated with injuries he won’t be playing first grade

I thought he played well.. but his style of forward is being phased out of the NRL..
I think there’s still room for a big man in the NRL but they have to be really mobile and athletic. I don’t think Ava fights into that category.

Absolutely .. plenty of big guys that have really good lateral movement, just not Ava.. Jnr paolo, taomololo fifita, papali.. etc.. all monsters that move really well

He got hooked after first 2 mins because his lazy ruck defense led to a beak from sharks who binged the try to make it 18nil. He was better 2nd stint. No chance he can keep up with nrl pace imo
