OFFICIAL Blake Austin [Discussion]

I don't see a reason why he couldn't play centre if he adapts his defensive game. He struggles a bit with one on one tackles sometimes but his attack speaks for itself.

Also, who knows what the future will bring? What if he kills it at 5/8th and likewise for Moses at fullback which forces Tedesco into the centres?

The obvious thing is Moses and Brooks in the halves but sometimes things don't turn out that way.
 
In all honesty he looks more confident on the park than he did in that interview.

He didnt saying anything wrong but i wouldnt call that outstanding.

When someone doesnt repeat the same words and fills sentences with umms and errrs they are confident public speakers.
 
You're right, it is a good interview and he definitely sounded like he's got a good head on his shoulders and a vision for himself and the team.

Will be a shame if we lose him because of this vision though, he's maintained all year that he wants that number 6 jersey, but for obvious reasons its looking unlikely. So I hope we don't lose him to another club that is willing to give him the long term 6 jersey as he's a quality footballer thats still young. But if so, good on him for striving for his goals.
 
While he was great at 6 in State Cup earlier this year, i feel at NRL level Austin loses his way just a little when at 5/8 at this level.

Im starting to think he needs to be in a position where he thinks run first pass second.

Worth a try at right centre IMO
 
I don't get you Austin haters. Robbie does it. Yeh that's fine. Brooks does it, yeh he is a champ. Austin does it, he is a no hoper.

Did he steal your lolly pop as a kid

Hmmmm i cant see any haters so far in this thread mate.

Im a big Austin fan, just observing that some players go better when they think less amd Blake may fall in to this category.

From what I see, he is in the position for one game and your making your verdict. I think I got it right, because I didn't see him do too much wrong tonight.

No not necessarily. Im basing this on a number of games both at 5/6 and in other positions. He has played 6 for us a few times now and every time he has gone good but not as good as other positions. I could possibly be jumping the gun, but ATM it seems the less thought and organising he has to do the better he plays.
 
i personally thought he did well , he was one of only attacking options out there, at least he gave it a 110 percent,
