Averillo - Finally Found His Spot

[baz]

It's still early days to say that he is our long term answer at Fullback, but I think it is clear to see in just one half of footy that Fullback is his best position.

I don't know why it took anyone so long to figure it out.

He will only get better

Jake was sensational today, being at the ground and behind the posts, on defence he was marshalling the troups very well
And his offence was first class

Spot on Averillo is not the answer at FB. At least Dufty offers more in attack. This is why Potter was coaching a Ron Massey quality Mounties side/ Averillo has had plenty of opportunities not only at FB at NRL level half,centre wing. & doesn’t cut the mustard like at least 10 others out there last night. Averillo is a monumental failure at FB, poor positional play in defence, poor communicator in setting our defensive lines, looks scared in collisions. The new coaching regime will have a task on their hands getting this roster fit & skilled to NRL level

lol

He’s been pretty good at following the ball in attack,

He's our future at fullback. I've seen enough to feel comfortable with that. Now to find a halfback.

Fair point about a thread but in terms short term, sure Dufty should be better than Avo but I saw a lot more spark and a fb attacking the ball. Since Dufty isn’t going to be here next year by the look of it, you want that game time given to someone else, to invest in the future. Fair point tho and well constructed @Dognacious

Back then it was premature he hadn't done anything yet. But he's changing my mind the last few weeks.

Definitely getting better, will keep improving, and he’s been fantastic!! but since I’m biased, Walsh is my preference, but it’s only a dream it seems lol.

The true believers, (that’s not you @Mutt Dafty) always knew Jake would find a home at the back. Played some junior footy there and his strengths and weaknesses suit that spot.

He looks at home.

Averillo got a touch of rod Silva about him

Credit to Mick Potter for actually naming him at fb and giving him a shot. I doubted he could play well at fb but very happy to be proven wrong about that.

Yep was behind the posts aswell and his communication was great.

Can't remember who on the kennel stated that the coaching staff believed Avo would make a shit fullback, as he couldn't catch a high ball if his life depended on it. Next minute...
