Averillo 4 line breaks and looked dangerous in attack
Either move him into fullback or 5/8 and let him gain experience there
I would develop him at fullback and have Wakeham in the halves. Centre is one our pressing issues and Hoppa would provide adequate cover.

Averillo can create in attack but was caught out in defence.
Meaney not up to it.
Jacko offers nothing any more. One good pass for the game.
Renouf has to start over Nappa.
Katoa to start with JMK to be 14.
Harper will never be the answer. Averillo offers more but really needs to work on his defence.
Have to try either Averillo or Wakeman at half.
Can't afford Lewis any longer.

I said at the time of the Napa signing it was one of if not our worse signing ever. Only came over to us because the Rorters knew they had far better talent to spend their money on. He’s playing like he’s hearts still with the the Rorters. I know Foran tries hard but what can you do behind a pack like we’ve got?
We need to get Tolman back ASAP, at least he can tackle plus expedite Luke Thompson up from Melbourne sooner rather than later. While you at it show the Napa the door and get Bateman!

Averilo has to have more ball!! This kid has some serious skills!!! Our bench rotation was diabolical once again!!
I think he needs to be our 14, and I don’t mean that as a sledge to the kid.

get 1st grade tough.
Come in later
X factor

f’n wasted in the centres and the defense he is asked to do at his age out of position will kill him

Surely katoa needs to get a go
Toomaga needs more game time
Napa should be benched at best

Fuck look at Trent Robinson... mentoring Flanagan in the sheds.

Pay would be looking at his feet in silence in the sheds

He flat out doesn't have a clue, needs to be cut asap. Just a massive waste of time these last few years under him.
