Believer Ayshford commits to Tigers

[you_know_who]

Yeah heard on the BSB this morning, good news indeed. We have most of our players signed up to long term deals now.

 

[Mrs_T]

Great news, love Blake, a loyal Tiger! :wahoo:

 

[Deano1]

Definitely great news. I also think he'll get better and better.
The only thing I wonder with so much of the club signed to long term contracts at once is,
are we seeing them in the middle of a comfort zone?
Either way I love seeing blokes commit to the Wests cause.

good stuff.

 

[Yossarian]

The reasons he gives for staying are just as great as the news of his contract extention. I love the spirit this club has at times.

 

[TIGER]

Top news, now if he'd stop carrying the ball in one hand i will like him even more.

honestly speaking, i have never seen him make a mistake from ball security, despite his reach and carry. I like the fact he always seems to have an arm free, just wish he'd offload more.

Yeh he could be asked to look elsewhere in a few weeks of he gets injured. Harsh world these days.

On the signing, im very happy. Im a believer players and coaches should never be signed for more than 3 years at a time, but overall im very happt Blake re-signed. I would like to see him work hard on his game as a centre and not rush a move to the backrow. I believe he shouldnt be looking at the forwards for another 4 or 5 years. I think it should be in the backend of his career when he makes the switch.

Finally some good news this week great signing for the club and if need be he would be capable of being a back rower as well but for the moment he is going well at centre and is still learning the position at NRL level.

 

[Montague_Street]

It's all good news with Blake's signing.
I agree that he is solid now and has the potential to develop into a Matt Cooper style centre over the next 5 years.
We all wish the team would turn their words into deeds - consistently. The next two games will define the 2011 Wests Tigers.

I think we will see Lawrence moved to lock before we see Blake moved there He has the size , defence and would be great to have a hard staright running lock with ball skills , Many successful sides over the years have had ball playing locks (ex backs)

Lawrence to the forwards would be an absolutely disgraceful move. Why would we ever move someone with his speed to the pack? If Sheens ever entertains that idea (and i know he has), then that will do me. Besides, he isnt as big as some people make out. He's a nice size for the centres and his speed would be wasted in the backrow considering we have so many qaulity backrowers that can get on the edges like Dwyer, Murdoch and Ellis. Simply no need to ever move him to the pack and lose the strike power outwide.

This obsession with turning centres to backrowers is really starting to bug me. If a player naturally evolves over time to be better suited to the pack i.e, Ricketson, Wiki etc then thats fine, but if a centre is still dangerous as a centre than why move him to the pack?

Well actually I think he will go to five eight first when Benji retires and then to lock KS

Good signing. A rangy centre or back-rower.
