Averillo can’t play centre due is defensive deficiencies . He can’t tackle and can’t read the play in defence. His defence reminded me of Barba in the front line.Centre is literally the worst position to have a poor defender . It’s all one on one defence and split second decisions.

I'd rather Baz played Britt in the halves than Lewis getting a call up. Hopefully Jake is fine for Round One.
Perhaps Bazz has managed to turn Lochie into Wally.
Honestly some don't see Lochie been as bad as most of us do, so its possible that Bazz has managed to iron out some of his flaws during the off season, after all what have the past 3 coaches done to improve our other players skills.
Bazz might not be another Bellamy but lets hope he's is a BIG BIG improvement on the last 3 coaches we had, because if he isn't we're in big trouble.

Looks like tape/strapping, generally used to stop excessive joint movement after a mild hyper-extension injury of the elbow, which occurs when the elbow is bent backwards further than the normal range of motion. Usually not a big deal, a couple of weeks of limiting the extension by taping and the ligaments heal.

If there was extensive ligament damage he would have been wearing an orthotic, something like this;

I'm confident Baz will do a great job and he'll have us playing good attacking footy soon enough.

But in regards to Lewis, I just don't think he has the fundamental skills required to be an NRL half. We'll soon see. It will be interesting to see what players improve under Barrett and what his selections/rotations will be.

Not sure what to make of it, but in the top photo he has his left elbow strapped in the bottom one it's his right elbow.

It gives them slightly more leverage in negotiations but the club has shown they won't accept a ludicrous offer from Penrith so it will be interesting to see if they can find a deal that works for both clubs.

Looks like averillo cant defend in the centers or at 5/8, Wing/14 is probably where he will end up next year unless burton backflips

Waiting for Burton to arrive next year makes this season that much longer and more painful
