Blake Ayshford as utility?

[tigerlogic]

No he is a quality centre, perhaps he may end up at lock in the years to come but certainly not til later in his career, I would prefer to see him at centre

No, leave him at centre.

In a few years perhaps to a back row position and he will still be good on the right side but play a little tighter.

I agree! Although I am not sure he is as slow as some suggest, maybe some work with a sprint coach would help him.

He isnt slow BUT his problem is he doesnt really hit the ball at any pace. When he has been in the clear (I.E - vs Carney in roosters semi, or vs warriors a few weeks ago), he has shown hes got real big leg stride and can motor a bit.

However he does not show this pace near enough and as a result our sweeping backline move rarely is threatening when we go to Ayshfords side. He really needs to run onto the ball harder because when he originally gets it if someone is honest he doesnt really look that dangerous. When he gets it he generally looks flat footed (i.e - one time vs parra last week when Farah through him a bullet late in 2nd half).

So I believe he has some pace, but he really doesnt show it IMO

I believe Blake played his junior footy at fullback in the Roosters squad, is it possible that he could be moved for Reddy? I don't care personally, Go Blake.
