Avo will get folded playing fullback, you need a fullback who can attack the defence with their carries.Id be concerned if Avo played FB. Under the high ball several times a game and how he would handle it when he drops 1. Kick returns, visions of Meaney when he use to get dominated in this regard. Last point of defense defending the try line, reading whats in front of him, defending corners etc. As for his ball playing skills, I havent seen much for a couple of years when he looked promising when he first debut 1st grade before the head knock. Big challenge first grade against Panthers when your team delivers performances that see you last on the ladder.
Ive always wanted him to come good. If hes ever to have a chance I would have thought reserve grade. This could be the nail in the coffin and its not really his fault with the way everythings gone down the last couple of years.
I also remember someone on here (I think it was @TwinTurbo) saying they saw him at training at the back earlier in the year and he was a shambles…
