I mentioned this in another thread but Blake posted the following image on his Instagram account recently. I don't think I'm reading too much into it to say that it could mean he is staying.

I think we really need to keep him. Even if only for next year. It will give Moses some more time to develop at 6 and he is a great player who can cover so many positions.
 
I doubt that Jason Taylor would want Blake to leave, even though he has Moses for 5/8\. To be fair Austin would have to be in front of Moses for the job and Mitchell may just have to earn the No.6 jersey through onfield performance.
 
I hope whoever gets the spot has to have earned it on the field, and I also hope that it doesn't stop there, and whoever doesn't get it keeps piling on the pressure to get the spot back.

Congratulations Blake Thoroughly deserved , you have been a shining light this year .How much better you would of been if you were settled in just one position instead of mix and matching you every week .
It would be a disgrace to see you go to another Club . i know what i'm wishing for Xmas :wink:
 
Spirit and a willingness to have a go is what the club desperately needs and Blake certainly has it. Stick with the Tigers.
 
It keeps cutting out once I get there to look at it

So he got members player of the year , has he said he was staying as well ??

Congrats on the award Blake , we love ya bro , you gotta stay
 
Taylor should throw all the numbers one to thirteen into a hat, pull out a number and than say to Austen thats your no for the season and by the way your also captain!!!!!
 
Well deserved
He needs to be signed with 2 more years added , this kid has got the goods and with a stable spot in the team who knows what he could do
 
**2014 Season Awards: Members Player of the Year**

**Wests Tigers would like to congratulate Blake Austin on being named the 2014 Members Player of the Year at today’s Grand Final Luncheon.**

Following on from thousands of votes, Austin finished on top of the Members’ tally after a stellar first year with the Club.

Austin joined the Wests Tigers from the Penrith Panthers at the beginning of the year and made his debut for the Club in Round 6 against North Queensland.

The 23-year-old played every match from that point, often filling various roles within the team including five-eighth, hooker, fullback and centre.

Austin finished the season with seven tries, just two behind the Club’s leader try-scorer Pat Richards on nine. The Doonside junior also finished the 2014 season on a positive note, with six line-breaks in the final five matches of the season.

Moses is not the man for the No 6 in 2015\. he will be a star bat has to develop some more.

Austin is the man. He is a solid runner and was the shining light in an otherwise lack luster season.
