Speaking about centers, I was under the impression that Averillo was well and truly on our radar, he has just signed with the Tigers, WOW. Looks like we must have someone in mind not to be at least chasing him hard.

 

[RufusRex]

He was until the tigers offered about 250k above what we wanted to pay so we stopped chasing him

Glad we missed him. Strikes me as being a jack of all trades, master of none.

Keaon sensational again last night. 213 metres from 22 runs, 33 tackles, 2 offloads. 76 minutes though, wish Wayne would give him a rest. Hopefully he gets picked for game 3 of Origin so he can get some time off

Strong rumor is we have signed Murray Taulagi. Can cover both wing and centre. Hope his defense is better than his stats indicate.

Playing edge I presume. Will take a squiz at the game.

First game all season without strapping all over his knee. Looked so much better was back busting tackles, offloading and dragging defenders with him. Can see him having a huge end of year

This is huge if true. Imagine rolling out wingers of Taulagi and Sami compared to what we have the last couple years

Heidke and rejuvenated Holmes in the centres. Serious speed, skill and power in that backline. Just need to extend the Couchman's!!

Encouraging words from the man they call 'truck' more like a semi trailer because he runs like one and hits like one. Not the most eloquent speaker, clearly a born 'westie'. No offense to all westies.

Val is too slow laterally now in defense. Future is Heidke and Te Moananui if we want both power and skill. If we buy two youngish centres tho, what is the future for this pair of local juniors.

Just stay injury free for us KK.

A priority. As is Jake and Loko.

The best news from this interview by young Jake is that, as he is enjoying the middle he is now on the same page as the coaching staff. I have watched all those seven ressie games and he has been awesome. He has the second best PCMs in the comp with his game/ meterage ratio. 637m from 10. He is also developing his ball skill with offloads in strong field positions and is averaging 5 tackle breaks per game. I'd contest that as in one game alone he must've brushed away like flies that number with one powerful run.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Take a guess which Dragon is leading ressie r/ms. Not Jake.

Spot on. He is in top 15 in several other stats too.

Where did you hear the rumour? Random Facebook post or something more credible?
