Averillo as a replacement?

  I think very possible

I might be wrong but let me post again, who says this is Bailey getting told to go?

THIS IS BAILEY's DECISION. As far as I can see. I don't think Ryles told him he's surplus.

He's a decent player, gave us good service but is far from a match winner and not going to get any better.

I have great respect for Simmo. Let him go if he wants to.

I think it's pretty obvious the eels need to shed a player or 2 to get a one or 2 big signings over the line. Simo is great and I love him but he does have an error in him and so bad defensive reads

  Well right now Simmonson looks to be set and gone during the off season, we still need to sign a centre as our backline is stretched thin. And knowing the Eels luck they have non stop injuries. Who could be some options, Jake Averillo, Stafford Toa, Adam Doueihi, Phillip Sami, etc

    I would love khan piera from the titans and put lomax back in the centres. In saying that I am very interested in seeing how much Russell keeps slowly improving. He reminds of a Joel reddy

      Whats Khan like in the backfield or in defence?

        Defence and high ball defusal is his weakness. But JR can hopefilly fix that

    Averillo mate. Speed to burn. One of the 10 fastest in the comp.
