I couldn't be bothered posting the same thing you are because it's logical justification, Mitchell moses knows how to kick! The haters just won't cut Averillo slackMate that wasn't a sitter!
That scum #7 is one of the best bombers in the comp!
I thought Avo did well to get himself into position to take it and was undone at the last minute by the swerve.
There have been many #1's undone similarly who have spent much more time practicing diffusing bombs.
I think every one needs to stop trying to wank or murder the kid!
He is new to the position in firsts & showed some promise & positives.
Lets give him the opportunity to train & learn the position (to end of the season & then offseason).
In time Avo may become our version of Dylan Edwards.
Dylan was dismissed by many as not good enough for the modern fullback role.
However he has evolved into a great player who is both safe defensively & contributes positively to attack for the riff, while not costing the earth.
Our priority should be finding/promoting a quality 7 which will help Burto's continued growth, assuming Avo's development continues at 1 & he can in time perform at a level similar to Edwards or Daine Laurie level FB's.
Dylan Edwards used to screw up handling those type of bombs all the time, he fixed his game with plenty of practice at training with Nathan Cleary.
Averillo will get plenty of practice at training with Burton putting up those bombs and he'll get better at this.
