Half the reward: Averillo wants playmaker role long term

[Dognacious]

Can flanno play hooker?

 

[ddt192]

Flannos starting to look like a good back up half now hahaha

 

[habs]

Averillo is on drugs. Maybe starting half for wenty’s. Pull your head in.

He’s done some good things today but that fucking kick on the last when they had 11 on the field will be etched in my memory forever....

 

[Dogzzz of War]

Avarillo needs to be told he is shit and not NRL standard. Maybe then he can break his game down and start working on his numerous deficiencies.

 

[Hot Dog]

Lost us the game. Simple. Kick vs 11 and 6 again on the last tackle then they score to make it 20.

What kick? The one that was a touch too heavy and gave away a set restart? He's allowed to make mistakes...he at least learnt form it and kicked to an isolated winger the next play only for that fuck head Elliott to fuck it all up.

Yep, that kick, should’ve went through the hands or being rolled into the in goal, it was very poor but he is going to make mistakes I get that, it was just a crucial one.

 

[Dogna88]

Definitely see more in Avo than Flanno.

But it can't be denied he has some deficiencies in his game.

He needs to watch this game over and over. He as at yhe 7 needed to push through the middle, not feeding the ball side to side

 

[COVENS]

Give me a young bloke with the nuts to try something and fuck up then someone too scared of fucking up to try anything.

He's raw but he can be refined and at least he has the tools.

 

[2ndphase]

What were you blokes doing at 20 years old?!?

 

[B-Train]

It wasn't the perfect game but his defence was way better, he kicked well for the most part and had some classy touches in creating space for outside men. I wish he'd run it more but he was probably too focused on running the team.

He made one or two poor decisions in key moments but he's being asked to play halfback with no real playmaking help in a wooden spoon team, so I'll forgive him for making a few rookie mistakes... Hopefully he'll learn from them and he still had a decent game for the most part..

True. He at least showed some positives and I 100% prefer him at halfback for the remainder of the season over Flanagan. At least he looked to play at pace and into the line instead of just shuffling it on aimlessly like Flanagan...not sure what we do next week.

 

[korrmatta1]

He was solid up until he gave away a set restart. Anyone is better than Flanagan.

 

[CaptainJackson]

Has to be averillo and wakeham rest of the season.

Kyle and lewis will look at over call jake if they play

I really liked his kicks for touch, made huge ground a couple of times, probably his best game today.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

His decision making needs work but overall is our better half by far atm and looks like he's still improving.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

He also has a brain and actually looks like he's learning during the game. I thinks there's a difference between making a mistake or poorly executing something compared to just straight up dumb play. Maybe if some of our senior players stopped making dumb mistakes we come home with the win...

Exactly. We need halves who actually enjoy playing alongside each other. We don't need ego maniacs controlling & directing all the traffic towards them when nothing is on.

Some people need to settle the fuck down.
Jake is a confidence player and is getting better with more ball in hand 20 yrs old remember!!!
I still think fullback should be his position Burton 7 6??

We were never going to win many games this year if you thought we were you have no idea.
I thought our defense was sooo much better than previous games.
Some stupid decisions from some players but some strike players next year will fix that.
Canberra fans should be pissed almost been beaten by the expected wooden spooners when they should be a top 4 team.

We need a Cronk and Slater type to come in and help our spine play.
Its about getting the right people in to help the young guys develop.
