Blake Austin

[pHyR3]

Heard something about braith's groin injury in the middle of the year inhibiting his passing ability in the backend of the season? Would explain a lot, some his passing was abysmal and his weakest point really, a minor tear would explain that and i'd be okay to give him another shot if that's fixed up.

Otherwise mentoring the halves is not a bad option. But I'd much rather a joey or fittler….

He looked the goods at this level,hope he can carry it on NRL level next year,I bet Braith hated commentating on this game,never mentioned he is playing at the WestsTigers next year,wonder why.

What are you on?

He did nothing but wrap him all game and said he cant wait for austin to join the tigers.

No he didn't,what game did you watch,I can't recall one time he mentioned this,he wrapped him,didn't mention 1 time he was coming to the Weststigers,neither did the other commentator.

 

[system]

I believe he mentioned it during the warm up

 

[Pokies]

They mentioned it at least twice that Austin will be with us next year. Anasta praised his work after both his tries.

Newcastle were a decent side and he had a hand in just about everything.. really mature game. He looked good.

Running and kicking game remind me a bit of Carney. Also seemed to be a good talker which we really need.
Faded out of the game a few times (cork or cramp or something in the last 20minutes?) & one really bad read in defence but definitely a cut above reserves.
Definitely deserves a shot at the 6 next season.
851 - try watching the game with the volume above 0 next time.

Yes he did at the start and he when he scored his first try he hopes he will bring this step he did to the Wests Tigers and he said he was best on field during the game.

I have a feeling he will be a gun five eight on our team i cant wait to see how he goes next year.

Mayer commented about Austin. Sounds like he thinks Austin will be six. Check it out.

Yes he did he said it could be a good combo with our young half next year.

 

[simonthetiger]

I agree he did fade in and out of the game….but what he did do was quality......bang on kicking game and a wicked left foot step.

IMO this kid is potentially a gun,

Interesting talk about him on a Panthers forum http://www.pantherpride.com.au/index.php/forum/penrith-panthers-nrl/883-blake-austin-signs-with-tigers
… Especially the bit about him helping out a local junior team. NRL needs some more decent guys.

Get a hearing-aid. They both mentioned where he would be playing next year.

No pretty good actually

Easts Tigers lost yesterday , my physio destroyed me today

Just can't understand why forum members get excited about fringe first graders who are in and out of games

For them to be effective at the elite level they should be killing it week in week out in NSW Cup

 

[LaT]

Nobody is lining him up for Origin or anything. Its mainly discussing the good things he does and his potential because its off season for us and there is basically nothing else Tigers related to discuss.

**For them to be effective at the elite level they should be killing it week in week out in NSW Cup**

it doesnt work like that…

in a fantasy world, yeah you're right, but there are other factors to consider, such as the players playing around him.

not every single 'effective' first grader 'killed it' in reggies.

austin has more than enough potential to be given the opportunity to play regular nrl.
