OFFICIAL Blake Austin [Discussion]

Although we do not have a specialist

5/8 he could kill it. (Siro and Austin are second rowers) I feel brooks and Austin combo is young and feels good enough. Similar to DCE and foran. Having Austin and siro on one side would be scary also Patterson all play makers and big size. Pretty happy.

Haha sorry was commenting at work and the boss came in damn you iPhone

Haha, I believe Austin and Brooks are the halves we have been waiting for, no doubt he is pretty big but he isn't as big as Sironen. At the moment Brooks and Austin are the way to go whilst Moses is still developing, he clearly isn't in our plans for early next year.

 

[pattyferg]

It sure is Austins spot to make for the next few years and Moses coming into the bench in a year or two. Good thing is when this happens you can bring Moses on without taking Austin off similar to what the qlders did with DCE.. Austin can cover most if not all position and assisting Moses if he goes missing. Great buy cannot wait.
Hope potter stays.
Hope youth stay.
Hope we have a better year.

I think Moses should get about a year in NSW Cup and then a year off the bench, once ready Austin can move to whichever position he is required in. Cant wait good times ahead!

 

[Demps]

I'm super excited also.

Can't wait to see, he really has a go this youngblood.

Just had a small chat to Blake on twitter (direct message) and he said he can play multiple positions but aiming for 5/8! Can not wait!

 

[pattyferg]

We sure needed a 5/8.

He will do better than Anasta that's for sure. Also has some experience that I'm sure will help brooksy.

I'm going to wait and see on this one.Plenty of promise but will he deliver? Why did Gus let him go?

Which NRL player would you compare his style to Milky?

Does he have any similarities in style to Luke Lewis? I remember Freddy Fittler doing a special on him and he seemed to be Lewis' sidekick.

 

[Blake93]

Why do people think that Gus is all-knowing and all-powerful? He signed Soward and let Walsh go. Even without seeing much of Austin I know I would take him and Walsh over the coward anyday

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

All the hype and expectation
Hope he doesnt suffer the same fate as Jacob Miller.. All that promise and being average really hurts

 

[softlaw]

So from all the hype he sounds like anasta - but good.

I haven't been watching footy from the days of Luke Lewis and Andrew Johns but I would compare him to John Sutton right now, honestly cant wait and he is a top signing.

Not similar to Luke Lewis, more similar to Foran I think. He is hard defending, ball playing 5/8, like Sutton yes but more ball skills. Only seen a few games of him but I have hugr expectations.

His a gun signing welcome the the best club the tigers hope you smash it in five eight postion. Excited about this signing.

 

[Milky]

Ill put in a few quotes from our conversation for you guys:

"Thanks mate. Really excited about joining the tigers and playing some of the stars yous have. Cant wait for next year. Cheers."

"Mate i play a number of positions. Would like to focus on five eight"

Rest wasn't really about Tigers, he is already my favourite player!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I have one vivid memory on blake austin regarded the next big find at penrif. First match if i recall we played against the panthers this season & austin bombed a try against us with with the line wide open. After that moment i felt the game change & we went on to win. Banished soon after that. I hope they got this one right.
