Flanno would be better at 9. Then we can fix the real issue and piss JMK offFlanagan would be worth a try, at least he’s a halfback

Bring back Lewis.Enough with anyone suggesting flanno ffs.
Aa said why another Avo thread
Hopefully only until this week. I took a gamble with BBO as a free agent in my NRL fantasy league team and so would love for BBO to move into the 7 role for the rest of the season.Don’t get me wrong I think he’s a good player but I’m no way is he a 7 nor will he last there.
It’s only a matter of time, I think he’ll be moved into a new position for him or dropped by Rd 12
BBO is worth a try at 7, maybe play him at 14. Bring him on late in the half and get him to play halfback, and move Averillo to hookerHopefully only until this week.

On a serious note there's no use turning BBO into a 9 with Mahoney coming next season so we should give him the shot at 7 and see how he goes while our other half backs are at best average.
Plus I think Jake is pretty crap for a 7 as he doesn't control and steer the team and doesn't look like he will anytime soon.
Isnt that how we started last season. Didnt he get first option for the 1st 9 rounds or whatever it was?Flanagan would be worth a try, at least he’s a halfback
Yeh but we have a different team now, and the whole team played poorly.Isnt that how we started last season. Didnt he get first option for the 1st 9 rounds or whatever it was?
This topics done to death and just another laying in the boot thread.Yeh but we have a different team now, and the whole team played poorly.
Just give him another go Barrett
No I’m not nasheed,I think this is nasheeds other account?
The stupid thing is that he didn't exactly play bad last week and we won. Almost scored a try, linked up well a few times with Burton and forced a repeat set. Nothing amazing but hardly anything that justifies the carry on. Just imagine when he has a bad game lol.This topics done to death and just another laying in the boot thread.
We dont have a 7.
Barrett isnt throwing away his pre-season.
Is what it is.
Hopefully Avo shows incremental improvement as the weeks roll on.
He had an okay game on the surface, but because he’s predictable it means that teams can mark up on Burton better, we need skilful unpredictability in the halvesThe stupid thing is that he didn't exactly play bad last week and we won.

As I've said before people on here are way to obsessed with positions and show a total disregard to everyone's actual role within the team. You then end up with people creating all these fake scenarios like Jake was hiding on the last and left the kicking to Burton like it wasn't a tactics. Obviously the best kicker is going to kick, they're literally crying because our best kicker was kicking the ball. The kicking duties were also split like a lot of halves pairings on the weekend yet their brains can't accept it because Burton had the 6 on his back and Jake had the 7 lol.
We should also compare his performance against Townsend who's a Premiership winning half on over 700k a season...no one has said a peep word about that because they don't want to acknowledge that it's VERY hard to find a genuine halfback today that's going to consistently perform. Even Walker who was hyped like crazy as a halfback has been shifted to the 6 to protect him.
So predictable that he almost scored a try huh? Stop dribbling. You're basing your opinion off last season without even giving him a fair shot this season. Doesn't matter what you, I or anyone else thinks because in this moment the club sees him for the best fit for the role ahead of our so called traditional halfbacks at the club. What feels right in the moment might change in a couple of rounds, months, next season or not at all. Just accept it for what it is and move on because there's hardly any options available within the club or outside the club right now.He had an okay game on the surface, but because he’s predictable it means that teams can mark up on Burton better, we need skilful unpredictability in the halves
I can never recall a post from Mut Dafty refwring to Reynolds ( maybe under one of your many alias' ? Ha ha ha.Was i this bad with Reynolds?
Flanno probably was better when he was 9. But now he is an adult and playing against adults he still plays like he is 9. How many chances do you want to give him? Didnt you see enough last year? He isn'nt the first or prob the last unfortunate signing we have / will make. He for me is just an adequate reserve grade half no more. Pity he is on such a large contract but thems the breaks it wont last forever.Flanno would be better at 9. Then we can fix the real issue and piss JMK off
Another bloke that was played out of positionBring back Lewis.
This. Also Como or should I say Hobbit, (affectionately. I'm originally from the Shire too) I think your hunch will come good. Give it a little time....it will pay off. I'm sure BBO will be our 7 before too long.Hopefully only until this week.

Now you are trying to make Avacado into Moombye.BBO is worth a try at 7, maybe play him at 14. Bring him on late in the half and get him to play halfback, and move Averillo to hooker
And we will still get more mediocrity.Yeh but we have a different team now, and the whole team played poorly.
Just give him another go Barrett
