He’s had years to demand a good contract next time it was up. He hasn’t done it. Based purely on footballing ability and what he’s done in games, he’s simply not that good. I wish he were better since he’s a local junior, but a few highlights of him scoring tries because he was quicker than the defence, is a low bar for wanting to retain a player.I laugh at people blaming the club “how dare you let a junior walk”. We hold them hostage do we? WE OFFERED HIM A CONTRACT. Dolphins offered more money and most likely a better lifestyle up there. Can you blame the kid? Good luck to him. He took the money and ran.
Be grateful Des isn’t still here. He would have offered him 800K and a 5 year deal. Overpaying average players is why we are in the mess we’re in!
The only thing in Avo’s defence is he was moved around between the halves, fullback and centre, but he didn’t nail down any of the. He was going pretty well with a sustained period at centre this season, but pretty well doesn’t cut it at this level.
