I for the life of me don't know why we are not going hammer and tong for Avarillo who is available - but strangely no one seems to be - is there off-field / training issues that make clubs wary of him? He's a very decent player on the field imo, so there has to be something going on around him that makes him not attractive to teams.

Averillo is a good representation of the current Dolphins team

great in attack but defensively poor

Maybe we don't know the way to Avarillo.

Timoko offensively is very good but from memory I think he is weak link in their defence.
Someone with time can probably find highlights and stats..
Overall I think Penisini is getting a bit of harsh smackdown.
I think it would be an even ledger if we were to get Timoko over Penisini.
I think we should be going hard at Chevy Stewart who is now playing left centre in the roiders reserve grade team.
Perfect replacement for Russell and get mentored on the field by JAC

Think we should look at how we go about recruitment, unfortunately been the same for the past 4/5 years. Bit like some of our defence agst the Storm, slow and ponderous

Yes, I would take RTS or Tupou for a year if they want to kick on. Give good money for 1 year. We need multiple outside backs for next year.
Tupou is 34, been a feather duster since 2012. I don't think he could cope without the lattes. Anything that smacks of a final hoorah from a player doesn't usually work out well for Parra. it's a NO from me. RTS is another Chook who's getting up there in years. He's also a hammy strain candidate.

I think they have their claws down south also. I've seen their signs at local grounds at Susex inlet and other places down the coast.
It's good to see that our scouts are out and about on a Saturday morning checking out the footy skills of Davo and Punter.

Panthers Leagues took over clubs in that area which in turn gave then branding etc,smart and well ahead of our guys
Well ahead of everyone, not just our guys. Goes to show the benefit of loan providers in high places. Expansion costs money and Penrith were nearly broke until Packer came along.
