Someone compared Averillo to Mbye earlier … we signed him in 2018 and were paying him more than that back then ..😂

I rember Mybe was on $800k,and reputedly we had to pay half of that for 2 years after he left to move him on
But...he was a half/full back..and a proven 1st grader(sort of)

Ro

Roberts, Geyer, Godinet?

Geyer is off to Perth.

Godinet, not sure he'll make it tbh.

Roberts is very promising, imo.

Has Mav joined the Bears yet?
Big chat around Godinet of late. Rising star?
Roberts... very good prospect that needs more minutes. Could force Benjis hand with a big display this weekend.

Fair call here. If Critter is over a mill, and Latu is on 500 as a utility playing reduced minutes, IMO the sweet spot for Avarillo and what he brings at centre is bang on 650/700.

Let's face it. With big Sam out until possibly round 20 we have a gaping second row hole. Roberts was impressive against Manly in a losing side. If he can reproduce the goods against a top notch team like the panthers then he may prove to be the answer. He's young enough and has size on his side. Let's see him rip into the chocolates!

I think someone posted yesterday that the contract values the press talk about are seldom close to the real amount. I agree with this 100%, it’s often done for a purpose. It get clicks, it blows the manager’s tyres up and it inflates players expectations of their value. Like with most things in the NRL media, you take it with a grain of salt.

In saying the above I am more than happy to have Jake coming across even if his contract could be on the high side

The more i think about the Averillo signing the more i like it, if Bula cops a few injuries like this year it means no Mason at FB locks down problematic right centre. Herbert to cover if he has to move i still think it may be a little bit over but the market is inflated with PNG and the Bears.
Also back up 5/8 at a push but id rather be using Latu,Jock or Andrews in the halves with Doueihi once Batman goes.
