OFFICIAL Blake Austin [Discussion]

[Demps]

He had surgery over the off season?
Don't think he played in the trials, did he?
Might be a precautionary thing.

Yeah he did have surgery. Williams is injury cover for him and they're either going to ease him back with a bench impact role or they're playing shenanigans and Austin will start.

Who…?

 

[Demps]

Blake Austin is my fav player tbh.
Such a weapon.

 

[Tigerdon]

I thought he wasn't due back till round 3 or 4\. It's a long season, Ricky will probably play him at 50% in R1, rather than do the required rehab work.

Exactly where a utility should be 😛

Yeah , I didn't read who the OP was :laughing:

 

[Kul]

Looks like he's hurt his shoulder, but I'm so happy to see a great tellent going well.

His service as Concord was top notch. I'm sure that if we didn't have Moses coming through then he would have been kept.

:slight_smile:

 

[innsaneink]

He's a good bloke too

 

[GNR4LIFE]

His form this yr hasn't been as good as last yr. I think teams figured him out so the dummy and go himself hasn't really worked for him this yr. Good try tonight though.

 

[Milky]

He is a good player and a good bloke. Apparently a few young fellas rocked up to the Raiders training on the Raiders day off and Austo was there with a few Raiders blokes. He kicked a ball around with them and then also went to the teens game on the weekend, giving the half time speech.

I remember as a 13 year old he followed me back on Twitter and Instagram, i sent him a dm as excited kids would and he replied. More than just a "hello" aswell, gave me tips on how to improve my game etc.

Same goes to Jacob Miller and Blake Lazarus. Very good blokes.

Out for indefinite period.

 

[supercoach]

Will certainly take some of the wind out of the Raiders sail. Blake has not been as dominate this year, but like when he was with us, when nothing is happening and your in a hole, he is the guy who will make something out of nothing and lift the whole team

 

[Kavi]

hope he is out for our game vs them but plays some part in the finals

Don't know anything about his injury, but not fussed about him playing our boys as they have had his measure on his pet play.

 

[Yossarian]

Bad luck for Blake. He seems like a pretty good guy, be a shame for him to miss the finals.

Yeh, was just thinking the same thing…someone like Andrew Fifita deserves this, not Austin
