Am I the only person who is super excited like I can not wait to see him in a Tigers jersey? I have followed him for a long time now and I really rate him, I have always seen him as a role model and base a bit of my game around him. I watch all the games I possible can that he plays in. In my opinion a great leader on and off the field, he has already got interacting with the fans on twitter by following and tweeting back. Good on the club for signing him, I am excited to see him and Brooks in the halves next year, he has a great passing and kicking game. He is playing lock for Windsor right now though due to Lachlan Coote returning from injury. Good luck to him and I hope he turns out to be a top signing.
 
I think he'll kill it. He has games under his belt in nsw cup and first grade experience. Still young and developing. He and brooks could finally be the 6 and 7 we've been waiting for.

5/8 he could kill it. (Siro and Austin are second rowers) I feel brooks and Austin combo is young and feels good enough. Similar to DCE and foran. Having Austin and siro on one side would be scary also Patterson all play makers and big size. Pretty happy.

Haha sorry was commenting at work and the boss came in damn you iPhone

Haha, I believe Austin and Brooks are the halves we have been waiting for, no doubt he is pretty big but he isn't as big as Sironen. At the moment Brooks and Austin are the way to go whilst Moses is still developing, he clearly isn't in our plans for early next year.
 
It sure is Austins spot to make for the next few years and Moses coming into the bench in a year or two. Good thing is when this happens you can bring Moses on without taking Austin off similar to what the qlders did with DCE.. Austin can cover most if not all position and assisting Moses if he goes missing. Great buy cannot wait.
Hope potter stays.
Hope youth stay.
Hope we have a better year.

I think Moses should get about a year in NSW Cup and then a year off the bench, once ready Austin can move to whichever position he is required in. Cant wait good times ahead!
 
I'm super excited also.
#6 or #12
Can't wait to see, he really has a go this youngblood.

Just had a small chat to Blake on twitter (direct message) and he said he can play multiple positions but aiming for 5/8! Can not wait!
 
We sure needed a 5/8.

He will do better than Anasta that's for sure. Also has some experience that I'm sure will help brooksy.

Which NRL player would you compare his style to Milky?

Does he have any similarities in style to Luke Lewis? I remember Freddy Fittler doing a special on him and he seemed to be Lewis' sidekick.
 
Why do people think that Gus is all-knowing and all-powerful? He signed Soward and let Walsh go. Even without seeing much of Austin I know I would take him and Walsh over the coward anyday

I haven't been watching footy from the days of Luke Lewis and Andrew Johns but I would compare him to John Sutton right now, honestly cant wait and he is a top signing.

Not similar to Luke Lewis, more similar to Foran I think. He is hard defending, ball playing 5/8, like Sutton yes but more ball skills. Only seen a few games of him but I have hugr expectations.
