Averillo would make 20 plus tackles a game compared to 5 or so for Dufty.. You have to make a lot more tackles in the line compared to fullback. Less than two missed tackles a game for a young half that supposedly can't tackle isn't bad.
Mate Dufty in one game created more points than Averillo has all year
Do we run the same shapes as Dragons? Have the same forward pack? Etc. Statistically Dufty is up there with Teddy, Paps and Tom in terms of attacking output, but everything else is absolutely horrible and it's why only a desperate Walters and desperate Baz are after him.
What does the shapes and forward pack have to do with anything?
So you just stated he is up there with the other top fullbacks, but you don’t want him, That makes sense?
Well said. I'd rather Dufty any day if he is going to score two tries, set up five and make one mistake out the back. What's funny is Tedesco makes defensive errors at times and hear nothing of it.
Do you even rugby league? Lol I give up. Maybe watch some more games and you might get a better idea.
Mate your the one with no idea, and it’s been shown up time and time again, but you still have the biggest mouth on here, yeah if we were all so lucky u really would give up, no chance of that though, far to self indulgent for that
Averillo is in his first full season and is being asked to play halfback which isn't his position at all. I don't get everyone hammering him when he's played less than 25 first grade games and he's showing signs of improvement.
Wasn’t that his job when Flanagan was the dominant half? Did nothing
The whole team didn't score one point im three games and it was all Averillo's fault?
Nah you said he will be better with a dominant half, where he doesn’t have to control things, can just run and support, that was his job when Flanagan was in the side and he did nothing
That should have been his job but Flanagan shat the bed and went into hiding so often that Averillo often had to do a lot of the kicking and organising.
Nah Flanagan and Averillo have both been as useless as each other, also Burton isn’t the silver bullet, he isn’t going to fix everything himself, and having a young inexperienced half in Averillo beside him, is leaving to much on Burton
Burton won't do everything by himself but he's a special player who will make everyone's job easier. Look at the impact Turbo has had on Manly. They were bottom four and getting blown out without him, now they've barely lost since.
Penriths miserly 7 points against average and Melbourne's 12 suggest it matters plenty.
Averillo has improved his actually tackling significantly - not sure about his defnsive reads but the actual tackling has been good lately. This time last year he was woeful with reading defense and with putting his body in front of attacking players - his efforts against Kikau were excellent last week.
Getting those 3 and staying cap compliant would be a supreme recuitment effort. It may require Avo to FB and forgo Dufty if we can't fit them all in. Plus we need fast, hard FRFs.
