Well done...Talented local junior Jake Averillo has continued the trend of positive news for Bulldogs Members and fans by extending his contract with the club by a further two years, keeping him at Belmore until the end of the 2023 season.
The talented 20 year-old back made his NRL debut last season and showed his versatility by playing in the centres, on the wing and in the halves at various times.
A product of the Bankstown Sports/Moorebank Rams clubs, Averillo played in thirteen NRL matches last season, scoring three tries and kicking twelve goals and impressed all judges with his footwork and speed off the mark. His performances earned him the Bulldogs Rookie of the Year for 2020.
Bulldogs Chief Executive Andrew Hill was delighted to be able to keep the talented local junior at Belmore:
"Jake has shown during his first season at Belmore that he has the talent and versatility to be an excellent player for this club for a long time to come.
We believe that with recent signings we are creating the opportunity for a new beginning here at Belmore leading into next season and Jake will be a major part of that."
Matty Lees (Saints) and Robbie Mulhern (Hull kr) would be great... Probably the best younger props forwards who haven't hit their ceiling in SLDon't know but next Tuesday cup day twin willows most of the players and Arthur will be there so I will asked
I’ll see you all there lolDon't know but next Tuesday cup day twin willows most of the players and Arthur will be there so I will asked
Agree, JMK off the bench is the best fit. Can cover hooker, half, centre and even play through the middle..might not win a game but likely won't lose it and do his job in defence. Just need to work on his running game so he can actually break tackles without falling over so he can be more of a threat when he's carrying the ball.Averillo aint no utility.
JMK is a utility - Jack of all trades, rough around all the edges
