if we have AD api bula tdm then yes think we can

I think we’ll have everyone back on deck barring Samuela Fainu by the time we play the dragons, so here’s hoping

And I think Benji tried to get him across when Benji first took control, so might be interested 🤷

The Dragons are a stronger team than many realise. They have a top 8 pack. It’s their spine that’s kept them where they are. With a new look spine next year, and Koalamatangi, they are top 8 contenders.

Do they have a top 8 pack:
Jaydn Sua
Blake Lawrie ( ok he has been in finals teams, but is a bit past it)
Luciano Leulia
Emre Guler
Dylan Egan

The Couchman bro's have been rather good for them.
I feel it's a similar pack to us in 2022. A lot of names, but not a lot of performance till the Broncos game.

I think one thing holding the dragons back is just how old the squad is.

Pretty sure both Suli and Luciano have been told to take a hike.

Suli would be great instead of Averillo

If we could get him mid-season even better

Young attempting to move on players to either bring new players in or re-sign youngsters. I'd look at the players Young wants to sign or re-sign first.

really hasn't lived upto his potential, not all these young guns kick on

Suli could be a good backup. Just don't think he's worth a lot of coin anymore, he's lost some athleticism and could be snagged at the right price. However except for a couple years at Manly, he's not been part of winning teams.

Luciano seems like a dunderhead but for the right price would be a great addition to our team. Imagine him off the bench able to play more minutes than Royce and he's more versatile. Another who is very good at losing though.

This is assuming we get no further injuries. Which is unlikely given the way we are going.

But this in itself is an issue. Everything about this club is on the never never. Guys come through but there’s a shinier model playing Flegg or Ball. Hopefully these guys come good and Averillo is shuffled back to the Reggies at the backend of his contract. Right now we can barely put together a backline and this guy plays pretty much every position. He’s a cover for Bula, probably our second or third best centre, a 5/8 option.
He’s not starting with the Dolphins because he’s injured. Before then he played every game and most of the previous two seasons… it’s not because he’s “average”.

Ok then,
Is he injured now? If not why isn’t he starting. Cause better players in front of him. We are short of centres cause bunji has been backing toa the injury prone player.
But get where u are coming from in a way. I reckon our biggest issue is back up hooker! Connor would have got us in the finals next season, soi needs support. Again bunji backed hope-less, bad option!
Solo needs to be groomed into first grade then we have Makasini, May, Toa. I have no problem with signing averillo but not on the reported big coin! That’s the issue, he just not that good, remember dogs dumped him.

We are due some luck. Might come at the right end of the season....

We need the wing/fullback cover. Suli is a one position player.

On NRL Tonite...last night...they said he hurt it during the team song

They had Vision.of him jumping up and down doing the song then turning away with a limp.

Ive heard.people say after the game it couldnt be too bad an injury because he was junping up and.down in the team song...and i havent seen footage of Seyfarth taking him out...so a bit confusing all round

Who?

Our run home:

Bye
Dragons - commbank
Roosters - away
Cowboys - away
Panthers - away

Its going to be tough.

Definitely need everyone back on deck and the panthers to rest players in round 27!

Realistically i think we can win 2/4
With the bye thats 6 points in the last 5 rounds...

This weekend is really important for our for and against.

You’re kidding.

Averillo is a gun.

Suli has a poor attitude and is reflected in his fatness. Luciano too.

I’d take them both on a train and trial contract. Nothing more.

 

[TigerSkins05]

Not keen on Averillo if they plan to use him at 6 in 2028

he’s a centre that can cover fullback imo

Javon Andrews will be our 6 in 2028 .. (if we can kept him)
