Should we persist with Averillo at fullback next year?

Is Averillo our answer?

Yes he had a bad game but hes literally played 10 games at fullback, lets relax, give him a pre season and see how he fares there next year, if hes not good enough then, atleast hes had a proper crack

There is no one of the market and he has done more than enough to earn a preseason there, if there was a genuine option available then go for it but there isn't. He has obviously struggled since returning from covid but people are so quick to forget all the promising signs he showed before that.

Dropped bombs and uncontested kicks aside... He is a pussy when it comes to contact in both attack and defence and as a result doesn't get through enough work. Full pre season coming up, I'll give him 8 weeks in 2023 and if that hasn't changed then he's gone.

Pretty accurate. Couple nice line breaks sure. Though any fullback that lets balls bounce numerous times and avoids contests is a no for me.

I would personally let Averillo walk after next year, Toia and Papalii are both better fullback prospects.
