How would he be threatened the guys scoring every game probably very near to a fit fox in speed young and determined. Guys a prime example of how to respond to criticism, so many players in sports these days wimper, cry and play victim his shown he wasn’t the issue. Being thrown about coach to coach in the poorest sides in dogs history finally shaping us as a player. Critta FB and Xerri who knows yet wouldn’t be replacing Avo though.

Alamoti is a bit too slow for centre. Put him in the second row lol

There's always room for Canterbury's best utility, Reynolds will be gone next year, Alamoti is a bit slow while Jake is getting faster.
Crichton and Bronson does sound good but who says they get first pick?

Mason said Jake is our BEST PLAYER.





Na not really he called him out X factor though and said we're trying to get him more ball.

Xerri has been out for four years. It's not like a reigning Dally M center of the year is coming over....
No, but a great player none the less, I think with him an Critta it will be a huge + couple of possible key signings.

The fact that we’re having a discussion trying to fit Averillo into the 2024 team tells all.

Critta and Xerri are slotting straight in.

Bulldogs should offload Averillo at the end of the season unless Xerri does an Okunbor and decides to play Center.

My bet is Ciraldo will prioritise Alamoti and keep Burns as backup.

I don't understand why everyone thinks Xerri will walk into our FG side.

He won't have played competitive league in 4 years.

Hopoate was killing it at Manly and took 2 years off. Took him quite a while to get back and was never quite the same player either.

It will take Xerri a while to get anywhere near top form.
Xerri will be different he has a point to prove and has lethal speed. He will kill it from day one

Prioritise Alamoti and dump Averillo with Burns as the back up sweet

Hope so but 4yrs is a long time. Instincts become dull.

Brett Howland had lethal speed too, didn't make him much of a footballer.

I have no idea TBH.

But if I have to guess, I say we would see him between rounds 5-8.

PS I'm not sure if he will be used in the centres or backrow with his size now.
play him on the right edge i reckon. can still use his speed and keep avo and kiraz outside him. he’s huge now so should be able to handle it

Averillo and Okunbor are two players that are improving out of sight at the moment!
