Yeah, Dufty on inside shoulders etc. Fully expect JAC to go ball hunting at some point too.I saw a few times Burton and Avo talking and trying to set up plays, with Burton switching sides to take the defence by surprise
It was their first game, it'll take some time but that combo will get stronger
Mate.. some of the Avo jizz festing is almost as bad as some of the dumb death riding of him..Seriously some of you are only here just to shit on Jake Averillo
No other reason
There were potential signs there, that they are building on something that's been different than the shit we've had for the past 4 years
Given the penalty count, conditions and it being the FIRST FUCKING GAME, give them a chance to build an understanding on the field ffs.
Who's actually doing a jizz festival over Averillo though?Mate.. some of the Avo jizz festing is almost as bad as some of the dumb death riding of him..
He looked to have more intent in his running in round 1 and he is building a connection with Burton which is great, but he still goes missing and needs to stay committed for the full 80 as a 7.
Personally, I loved the grit we showed but I worry that a lot of it was emotionally driven and not structured. Our best footy looked to be as lib and not “coach whisperer” inspired.
Yh we look promising when we play towards the left, just need to do it more often and with more variation. Burton also swinging to the right and at time being Naden with him, Dufty shifting to the left, etc. There's a bit more to our play more but like I said we just need to see it more often....it's like we only have one real attacking play per set.I liked it when the swing around to the left side and had Averillo and Burton combine.
We have as you say changed structure from last year.
JMK is terrible but BBO adds spark.
Dufty is a much better fb than we have had for some time too.
And don’t forget burtons goal from sideline which won us the game
Baz there's no avo jizz fest, I mean cmon.Mate.. some of the Avo jizz festing is almost as bad as some of the dumb death riding of him..

Exactly bro , and that’s why ugly wins like last night are like worth double to us as we continue to build on combinations and look more fluid in attackThe conditions were terrible.. rain, high humidity and high temperature yet we still created more try scoring chances than the Cowboys. We've also changed the way our spine links up compared to last season and the trials and there were a few good moments that we can build off.
There's obvious issues like JMK's awful service, not having an out and out on field general, lack of polish and chemistry, too many dead plays, etc...but people need to be realistic, we're not a top 8 team right now so don't expect us to play like one. We're hopefully building towards that this season and have continued to recruit key players that address our current weaknesses.
Ok, call me out on Jizz fest…What I am alluding to is there are several members that appear to defend Jake regardless of how he is travelling.Who's actually doing a jizz festival over Averillo though?
Ok let's drop him completely.Ok, call me out on Jizz fest…What I am alluding to is there are several members that appear to defend Jake regardless of how he is travelling.
I think nearly all of us want to see him do well regardless of position, but you can’t always blame the 9 or the structure or the coach for his input.
I think he is out of position and will never be a 7 and so do plenty of others including those in the game, but we are short on options at the moment.
Burton has played one (two if you count the trial) game for us. What do you expect from him in one game?Yep. I noticed the same things as you.
Its been the same mentality since the 90s. The only time it changed was with Sherwin-Anasta or Kimmorley calling for the ball.
We are without doubt the ugliest playing team in the comp. Dont let last nights win fool you. The opposition was just poorer on the night.
We look completely uncoached or we train to play this dumb and ineffective way.
I tend to blame Barrett, JMK, Burton and Averillo. Between them, they should be able to identify this ongoing problem and do something about it.
I watch our games and inside the 20m, i just wish we could replace our forwards with backs - NFL style
I walked before I could crawl.Relax it’s a new team a baby must learn to walk before it runs we will get better have faith we have good people running shit now…
That’s a ridiculous post mate and you know it. Where did I say to drop him?? I have said multiple times that I like Jake and he is our best option at the moment but he is not a 7.Ok let's drop him completely.
Who do we put in?
How long until people start shitting on BBO too?
Flanagan should never ever be near the team ever again
Wakeham will be shitted on too
Jake's the best option at the moment and he does have potential
We cant sign anyone else (this season)
