OFFICIAL Blake Austin [Discussion]

[softlaw]

Again, starts great then fades out of the game. Needs to fade back into the game fairly soon.

I blame the coach for this. He has Austin permanently on the left. Why on earth coaches insist on having their main players limited to one side of the field is plain stupidity.

Austin should be roving around both sides of the ruck, rather than waiting on the left.

 

[Blake93]

Terrible second half from the wolves so far. A lot of unnecessary offloads and slow running

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.

There are two players that the club will not drop irrespective of how badly they play, Anasta and Lawrence. It happened in 2013 and will most likely happen again in 2014\. Sad for the club all round as other players will lose interest.

Yawn
Who would you replace either of them with in 2013?? Given our salary cap situation there's no one else.

It would definitely have to be Tim Moltzen and when he settles into his real position of 6 or 7 it will be no yawn watching him.

I said who would you have replaced Lawrence (playing busted) or Anasta with in 2013?

It happens at all clubs….I dont know why people cant see this?

Maybe its because we are average more often than not its more prominent....but clubs rarely drop senior players - it doesnt sit well with sponsors, and then theres the high pay checks for playing reggies....it dont sit well with many

Wolves today were very similar to WT sides of the past few seasons.

Some talent in playmaking positions etc but zero grunt up the guts.

Sharks won the field position and walked away with it on the back of that and some errors from the Panthers winger.

Austin was easily their best player and only bright spark from the game from the Windsor side

Totally agree Smeg & was only thinking the same thing watching that game.

Seemed like he has a big head on him. If the reports that potter is tough on the young kids is true then it would do Blake a world of good.

There was a moment when he gave a bad pass to capewell and walked away like he did nothing wrong and on the other hand capewell was spewing.

When he plays good reminds me of foran. Seems like a good defender when he does go looking for a tackle.

Otherwise seemed to go missing- a lot like Anasta.

From what I saw- there is no way he will be our starting 5/8\. He's behind Anasta and moltzen for sure.

[eyewonder]

if he is behind anasta in the pecking order,he must be very ordinary.

 

[stevetiger]

if he is behind anasta in the pecking order,he must be very ordinary.

Anyone behind Anasata must be terrible.

 

[2041]

To early too say either way of course, but give Austin has just been given the arse by a club which feels the need to sign Jamie Soward I suspect the magic eight ball would say: "the signs are not good".

 

[magpiecol]

Why don't you wait to see how he goes in first grade before writing him off. How often have you seen him play? I have only seen him play a couple of times ( I suspect a couple of times more than some of you ) and he has been the best player on the field by far. Wise up.

 

[Tigersman]

Which is why we bought Austin. So we have a bit of competition there and can pick the better one because I don't know who is in fact better. We clearly need halves, he was the best they could find.

Moltzen
Anasta
Brooks
Paea
Madden

Is about all we have without Austin and two aren't 1st grade material. 3 halves for a season, given what we just went through, is really not enough.

There is also
Curtis Sironen
Matt Mulcahy
Mitchell Moses
Chris Lawrence

 

[pHyR3]

Sironen is a backrower, Moses is too light and inexperienced, (74kg), Mulcahy is also too young and not that amazing for his age and defiinitely won't perform very well in the NRL. He's very low on the pecking order. And chris lawrence? well when we're selecting Lawrence at 5/8 god help us all….

#6 austin/moltzen
#7 brooks

either way, i think we are much better off than last season.

With Austin and Brooks I think we are definitely better off. With Moltzen and Brooks I think we are much, much worse.
