I have watched Rugby league for 35 years AND

[Northern Beaches dog]

I will say, i have never in my entire life seen a WORSE defender than Jake Averillo.

Has absolutely no fucking idea what is going on. Looks beyond clueless.

What do they do during the week?

Honest question, what do they do? How can someone be so inept at something?

 

[Flanagun]

Yeah, he’s shit. I don’t see why the kennel gets excited by guys like Averillo whole being too critical of certain other players.

add Holland to the list

 

[habs]

Blame the coaching. No wonder Barrett wants to clean out the coaching and conditioning staff. The kid is about 10kg light.

 

[stinkypinky]

Add Cogger to that list too rubbish

 

[Northern Beaches dog]

Game was lost as soon as he put Averillo on and played him at left centre.

That is just negligent coaching.

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

Not a centre, and he’s had no proper coaching this year.

Should go good with a proper offseason.

 

[Turvey Chip and Chase]

I’m starting to think this is correct.
I’ve been an advocate for him being our long term fullback, but he can’t defend for shit.

I’d be looking at Staines or even Ado-Carr for a solution now. JAC would of learnt to play hard in defence from Bellamy’s system.

 

[c-b-b]

Did this kid ever play centres coming thru the grades? As far as I know he's been in the halves.

 

[silva]

Defending at centre you pretty much dictate when to run up or slide. Need to talk. Taking Lafai off cost us the game clearly

 

[GreenTurd]

A young fella with a hand full of games playing out of position. Foran that can barely move next to him out wide.

He’s struggling in centre, I’d like to see him in 1 or 6 before writing the kid off.

 

[tyl0r]

Dont play him in centres. Blood schoupp or something fuck who cares wtf happens at least he is playing in his position. Two tries down that side when Avo was on, fucked us

Yup agree lol.

 

[Northern Beaches dog]

I mean, this is not the first time i have seen it this season. He has looked so clueless out there everytime.

Imagine going to work and just failing at a basic function week after week?

I mean, the first few times you get something wrong, your manager sits with you and you work through it together until the problem is solved.

What do they do at training? Does SG and the staff sit with him and show video and work through it? Or do SG and staff think he is Matt Cooper in terms of defensive centres and dont need to do anything.

I just do not understand.

The game was lost purely on that side of the field.

 

[B-Train]

Maybe if he wasn't constantly played out of position or wasn't screwed around by coming off the bench then he wouldn't be having so many issues.

It would also be nice if one coach at the club could actually work on correcting flaws that players have to try and make them better. It's a crazy notion, I know..

 

[Northern Beaches dog]

Did this kid ever played centres coming thru the grades? As far as I know he's been in the halves.

If so why put him in a position that is one of the hardest places to defend? Its just negligence.

 

[Jarrad El Hickey]

He’s 20 years old ffs

 

[bulldog]

No footy nous on the field at all, no leadership and no idea about game management. Could be the lowest IQ footy team I've ever seen. Hard to single out anyone in this mess.

I have never seen a team look so vulnerable WITH THE BALL IN HAND as this lot, it's honestly laughable at times.

Because he is not a fucking centre. Its probably the hardest defensive position on the field, and he is simply not a centre. He is a half or fb.

Yeah why are people Jizzing all over the place about Averillo?
I've seen nothing yet.
