Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

For some Api was the difference.... thank God we are given a brain to ascertain, think and grow.

Me personally, all 4 players made a difference.

He only played 55 minutes …Bula was our best

What If Api did not play 1 minute?

What if Bula doesn’t hold up Critta last play of the first half ?

Apparently we’ve signed Jake averillo

Bula played well and was definitely in our top 3 players last night, but his try saved on Crichton only made up for a very poor missed tackle on Kiraz when he scored.
Not forgetting his dropped ball near halfway not long before halftime that very nearly cost us another try.
Not forgetting his brain snap pass to nobody on our own try line that nearly cost us another try and gave all the momentum to the Bulldogs due to our poor field position.

Was that before or after Twally giving away that dumb penalty that gave them that last chance to attack in the first half ?

Who are you saying were the other two in the Top 3?

Seyfarth was atrocious, really need to upgrade backrow depth for next season

He isn’t and has never been a backrower

I have never seen what others have outside of being costly and not doing the job a forward should do. Showed it again last night.

Luai definitely in our top 3 players last night.
Probably Skelton just ahead of May for the other with others such as Madden, Turuva, KPP and Pole not all that far behind.
We have to give plenty of credit to To’a for his defence, but his attack was again very sluggish and lacklustre.

lol ..Dragons fans on X reckon they are going to sign Averillo ..is there ever a player that comes on the market they don’t go after ? Nothing about him headed to the Tigers …

But let me say I’ll take him !

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Connor Tracey can play a utility role off the bench or play centre. If dogs chip in not a bad pick up

Wouldn’t help the Bulldogs at all.

That would be unusual for Benji to let that info get out

Great signing if true

It can always be leaked by the players management

Family friend who’s close with one of the younger players, apparently for 27 but trying to get him early

He simply doesn’t have the speed and athleticism required for the modern day edge back rower.
Not his fault that Benji keeps playing him there due to lack of trust in our other options.
The good news is we will have absolutely no problem with a rival club buying out Seyfarth’s full contract if we want to let him go.
We will not have that luxury with a few others.

Absolutely Vicious. But to be fair to Bula - coming back from injury - Api suspension.

Would be a good get for us …hope it works out

If true Averillo will help us immensely being a specialist right centre with plenty of speed, a competent goal kicker and would also provide very good cover at fullback.
He is not a great defender, but his speed alone means he has the ability to get into spaces that many others are not capable of.

He's no Shibu Saki. Best centres can tackle and hurt you at the same time. But who is complaining. But he ain't coming Jake. I have a family friend too.
