I liked the look of Austin in the game last week although I have reservations about him and Brooks being a halves pairing I think Brooks needs more experience beside him I don't know if Anasta is that person but I'm not sure who else there is.
I fear now we finally seem o have a half back we have no 5/8 …...

Anasta first 25 minutes and then bring Austin off the bench.

What about our friend Tim Moltzen :exclamation: although I do agree with your post, at last we have a good up and coming half, but no tried and tested five eighth, it seems Moses is a long way off, and I'm not too sure about Anasta, I know he has experience, but I don't think he stepped up to the plate this season, I was dissapointed with him :crazy

ffs… no.
either austin or moltzen should be in the 6... this off the bench stuff for halves gives us no stability and i cant rememebr any teams who have done this successfully... pearce and maloney. dce and foran.. reynolds and sutton.. cronk and widdop.. reynolds and hodkinson...
no one else does it, and for good reason.

If we play Moltzen at 5/8 we will always wonder what might have been. I would prefer we try others and fail then to stick with someone who we know isn't right.

Anasta will wear the 6 for better or worse. Anasta's best game was outside Brooks so I'm reasonably happy with it.
Moltzen is the best proven option to get a shot at the #6 (I say this as I would push Sirro into the second row next year,) however Austin would be my pick to get the start. I think he and Brooks would complement each other very well.
Anasta shouldn't get anywhere near the starting 17 next year, the bloke is just not good enough.

Anastavis way behind the pace. His lost what he never really had ! .Austin should be given a go. I can't see any other reason for signin him

Wait and see what happens in pre-season guys. Anasta is not the player he once was and also picked up a couple of injuries during the season. Austin will get his chance one way or another. When he does, I hope he's good enough to hold onto it.

I actually forgot about old mate Moltz I guess he is a possibility if he's here, anything could happen there he could sign with hull and 2 days later extend his contract with us for 3 yrs :bash

I would love the club to chase Pita Godinet from the Warriors or Adrian Davis from the Knights as a backup halfback as well. Both will be down the depth chart at their clubs next year, both talented halfbacks

yeah, majority of time it wont work though.. it didnt really turn out well for souths…and queensland and DCE are a different kettle of fish to what we have at the tigers..
we dont need to waste an interchange in the halves and im old fashioned in thinking that the 6 and 7 should be the same for 80 minutes.

I think we should just all accept that the 6 is definitely up for grabs and whoever works hardest in the off season in the trials will get the nod
The most important thing will still be this , if they are playing behind an ineffective forward pack it won't matter whether we have Lewis ,Daley ,Fittler , Kenny at 6
We will get belted and they will look bad
Moltzen will need to be behind a good forward pack , Anasta will add experience but little else , Austin still has a lot to prove and we won't know if Moses is ready
6 is a crucial position , and the fact we don't have a proven 6 is one of the main reasons we will really struggle to get close to the Top 8

The bottom line can anyone see the club dropping Anasta????Just cant see it happening regardless of the other contenders.It was obvious to everyone he cant play in the backrow anymore, so that only leaves the no 6\. He may share the role with a player off the bench and during the course of a season their will be injuries so the other players will get their chance, but for what ever reason he will be like other players and never get to meet the reserve grade coach. Really Potter has more chance of being dumped than Anasta,yes it is madness,but these things happen in football clubs especially ours.

I saw a tweet from Mayer saying something along the lines of, 6\. Austin 7\. Brooks has a nice ring to it doesn't it. But i couldn't find it when i looked for it again an hour later so i could save it and put it in this very thread. I think he deleted it. It was While Winsor were playing Newcastle and Austin bagged 2 tries and assisted in 2-3 other tries.

Dont be surprised of Brooks isn't quite ready for week in week out NRL and Austin actually plays 7.
Blake isnt as big as i first thought, certainly not big enough for the bcakrow. And the way he played last week showed me someone who could handle 7 with ease.
Its not how i would start the year, but i can definately see it turning out this way.
