the way some on here have spruiked this signing you would think the club has signed a reincarnation of reg gasnier

the club has signed a competent first grade player, an improvement on toa and herbert which at present is a start

As long as he can Tackle and has a pulse he ticks alot of boxes

I was a KPP doubter and an AD doubter as a half both playing great.
I am very much an Averillo doubter and I think this is a signing the club has gotten wrong, 4 year deal for jack of all trades player

im no fan of a 4yr deal , but i watched a bit of Averillo coming through the grades , don't think many will be upset with his work rate

I think we are just happy to finally have some speed and a genuine right centre. Its been a long time.

I love the way Averillo moves. Could a a star as a fullback, but well suited to centre as well.

another rebuild/cleanout ,its just more words ,from management to excuse their short comings.

In fairness, were not in "rebuild" stage yet.

Yet having the patients in charge of the asylum is far from a perfect outcome.
Tough talk threating to may be walk out on your contract and be sued for it because dont like your new Coach lmao
Same same with signing up the brotherhoods ,you basically hand them all a power block with out really having to put in,but if it pays of - which is on its way .4 years and its time for another clean out .
The club is slowly getting the lower house/s in order more money is needed.
Supporters are fickle ,only 5 people could honestly critic Jovan up until last weeks f tel coverage ,and wow the managers with reiki ,hot rock youth invigorating diplomas on how he should proceed towards being the next immortal .sprung up like green shoots on a magical carpet ride of wealth on how the club is stunting our 1st grade results by holding certain kids back. lol as the same shout down Maka being galled by the throat by seasoned veterans.and should hone his craftin Flegg

I love "please like me" where he walks out on a date when the other guy was boasting how good his "reiki" massage was.

Reading between the lines, our club will only get back through hard work and toil. Real training, standards and getting basics right. (thinking Laurie Daley/Madge with the Blues).

^Ofcourse every club is trying to do this.
Slater seems to have coaching genius in him, I suspect Cronk is the same. They will be able to wade through the new management BS and the old school stuff and pick up exactly what the team needs.

Avarillo Can play Full Back, Centre and Wing.

But, but, but, some "experts" say he's coming here to play #6. 🤣

 

[lathami]

Look at $700k he is not worthy that money, if true! But at $500-550k I ok with that. But I have t seen any x factor I his pay. Hope I am wrong and bunji is right!

How did Averillo go today? Couldn't watch the game. His stats look good, 172m run, set up 2 tries.

Good job considering 1st game back in 1st grade from injury, struggled a bit with fitness but showed good toe to slice through and set up a try.

Yeah he looked very unfit. Got caught flat footed defensively to let the Knights 2nd try in. Came back well setting up 2 tries though. One was a cracker individual line break and acceleration

 

[Telltails]

At least he is fast

Some posters on here compared him to Mbye … if he could do the things he did in the 2nd half in his 1st game back I think we’ll be right

That try was the result of a great pass from Brown which allowed Hunt to get outside Averillo before he even received the ball. Would have beaten most fit centres let alone someone who has not played in weeks. Classic brown.

His acceleration is something the current side lacks but I'd like to see him in full flight over distance, he either didn't get to full speed or he was tiring before he passed after turning his opposite around.

In the past he holds his speed over longer distances better than most

Agree to an extent. The reverse replay really showed Jake on his heels which cost him significantly. If he was bouncing on his toes ready to trun in our out he would have got a shot on Hunt IMO. Its an easy fix though, so not too worried about that one monent
