Avo just doesn’t do it for me as a 6. Walker showed more in 1 game for the Roosters and he’s only 18. If we want to compete with the best we need the best. I’d love to be proven wrong but I think we are wasting our time with Avo at 6 especially with Burton taking his spot next year. This year is a write off, use this year to see how Avo goes at centre.

We need to be playing players in their actual positions and recruit players in the position they've played well in. I'm sick and tired of seeing a wingers wanting to play centre or fullback and the coaches make them decisions. Sign a bloody centre to play centre sign a winger to play wing. Also get a bloody hooker a specialist hooker asap that can play 80 minutes.

Unless Shane Flannagan is coming to coach the dogs, i'd be recruiting tyrone may to play No. 6. He's not getting a starting spot at Penrith. He'll need to move to play his preferred position. Burton and May in the halves. Potentially the best in comp.
I would've gone Adam Reynolds @ 7 & Burton @ 6 - What a kicking Combination.......... Mamma Mia!!!

Hi Kyle hope this reaches you well.
My friend you need to cut out your uncontested kicks please they offer nothing to our team.
You need to mix it up with spiral bombs and torpedos please if your gonna do it.
Also shorten your kicks so that our players have a chance to contest them on the last,
Barrett has faith in you please don’t be stubborn.
He had a golden opportunity to put a kick into the in goal last game as well. A few of those will be good too. Need to build pressure.

Maybe these footy players see lights and have blinkers on when they play.
It’s frustrating to say the least.
And coach names same squad this week,he wants a payout lol

He’ll come along. He’s only really had one year in first grade. Still had a lot to learn.
I will say it and I’ll say it again...

The Roosters don’t let go of good players especially halves.

They need to kill the 7 tackle restart for kicks in goal, that’s why there’s less grubbers/attacking kicks and trying to trap players in the in-goal as this is a low percentage play...

I hate that last tackle kick to the corners trying to entice a fumble or set up the defence.

In saying that Flanagan seems to lack that complete kicking game to take advantage of multiple scenarios and keeping the opposition second guessing.

If Kyle received the protection from our forwards that other teams give to their halves, he'd have time to assess the situation and kick accordingly.
The Dogs leave him as a target, so he has to rush his kicks.
