He's a good defender on his day, like most inexperienced players the gap between his best and worst is still the main issue.
 
Guess you were. He is a good ball runner, alright defender, terrible ball player. In every game he plays he always has ample opportunities to set up Ryan or whatever winger he has outside him and never does. On very rare occasions he turns the ball back inside. Either he doesn't trust his left to right pass at all or he doesn't trust his winger at all. Either way, the guy doesn't seem to be a right sided player. The games he played on the left when Lawrence was at centre weren't bad either from memory.
 
I`ve been highly critical of Blake being selected in the side, but i`ve got to give credit where credit is due and despite one bad missed tackle early in the game I thaught Blake went very well against the Eels.
He played with a bit of aggression and really had a go, i`ll be happy to say I was wrong if he keeps putting in like that.
 
Ayshford needs someone running off the inside of him. He'd have a killer offload, always gets his right arm free to flick inside.
 
is a fullback supporting him on every run he makes!!
how many linebreaks could of been made if someone was supporting him as he tore through the defensive line over and over.

the last few weeks he has been very impressive with his tackle breaking and the ability to get his arm free for offloads.
looking forward to watching him in the weeks to come!
 
But he hardly ever passes anyway. He gets his arms free and then holds on despite the support tbh. He's like the opposite of Benji.

from what ive been seeing he either has ryan on the wrong side of him or noone backing him up
 
I hope there is a statistic for it but I'm sure he has passed to Ryan less per game than any other centre-wing combination in the NRL.
 
I thought Blake has improved the last couple of weeks but he still needs to work on his defense as he can be caught flat footed. as far as being able to offload more often as he breaks tackles I like that he is a bit more selective when he passes we have enough guys who push the envelope
 
Blake will play for Australia if he can learn to set up his support men. He has an uncanny nack for pucnhing thru the line and if he could just have the slight of hand like a Paul McGregor or a Jacin Sinclair had, he could be anything.

Jacin Sinclair? One of those raising stars that never actually rose, despite enormous talent, (sadly)

Yeh, im just referring to the slight of hand. Sinclair unfulfilled in so many ways, but he's pretty much the best centre to play NRL when it comes to setting up his support players
 
Ryans positioning is ordinary most days.Always ahead of the pass,or simply way behind…thats what happens when u lack genuine pace.
We must have a better prospect in our ranks somewhere,surely.Are he & Fitz the same person?
