He looks pretty good at State Cup level. As Smeg said, he looks to be a good runner of the ball and has good speed, he moves across the ground well. Keen to see how he goes in Wests Tigers colours next year that's for sure.

Sorry , how can some one get excited about someone who didn't crack it at Penrith and only looks a gun when he is playing NSW CUP
I'll wait until he shows his worth as our 6 in top grade

Guns N Roses - I'm having John Grant flashbacks as well. I thought I was the only one.
Saw him play first grade - had a shocker - try line in front of him wide open and he bombed it. It was against us. All he had to do is put it down. I had to slap myself - it wasn't me - it was him. Never saw him in first grade again.

Maybe have only seen his less than brilliant games
Then again with our limited options at 6 , he might be the man if Moses isn't in the picture

Because he is at the beginning of his career with a good bit of potential.
He has been set back by injuries a number of times, but mid 2012 was rated high enough to be given a $700k 2 year deal which isn't bad for a rookie, Gus' player clean out meant he left mid contract, no idea if Panthers are picking up some of the bill for him.
He has been on the horizon of first grade for a while now, be good to see what he can achieve with Tigers.

And now Penrith think that Soward is a better option 😱pen_mouth:

Happy, two years ago he was the highest rated junior in the game. He reminds me of where O'Donnell was in 2003 and Fifita in 2011\. Sometimes a change of club is needed to focus a young player.
He will do good.

Gus would have one of the most intelligent football minds in the game .
I watched Blake's Fresh Meat interview with Freddy and some of the comments seems like he was trying to find shortcuts to making it , how you could cruise in NYC etc I never played at anywhere near NRL level , but I know I always wanted to destroy the opposition and never was looking at cruising through games
I dunno he just reminds me of smaller version of John Sutton , that he will go great once you have the perfect side around him That might take a few years
I agree, I defend Gus all the time. But I don't believe he is the most astute recruiter in the game. He has shown this many times including Souths upon re-entry when he was asked to help build the team from scratch.
That doesn't mean that I think Austin will be something great, just the same as Gus letting him go to get Soward doesn't mean Austin will be a bust.
Excited by the potential, and he has it.
