Ayshford is a such a strong player, had a great game tonight.
I think he's as important to the team as Lawrence is so lets make him a tiger for life.
I do think he fits the other thread as one of the most under rated players also
 
always liked the way he runs, I can see him finishing up at lock in his career though its good that he can move there when Moltzen comes on
 
I metioned blake ayshford for the 2nd row a month ago and got my ear bitten off on here and after spending 15 mins there tonight some ppl actually agree now lol
 
I still like Blake as a centre even though he went well in the back-row. He is so gangly teams struggle to put him down every time.
 
another solid week.
Great to see him have a good stint in the forwards too. His lunge at the line for the try (ala Roosters semi) highlights his superior strength and agility; got my 3 points and it's no wonder he's been at least mentioned for City
 
Most underated player for sure….i love his soild consistancy in denfence also for his size he has an incredible ammount of strength
 
Very good game last night, I'll have to watch the game again and may bump up his rating.

His defense is remarkable. I used to think he was a hog but I think it's just because he is so strong he gets his arms free every time but is selective with when he pushes the offload. So not a hog, just a smart player.

I've been saying that since his debut when people bag him for not positioning his winger!

He was an outstanding off-loader with beautiful hands at school & in NYC - and just became more selective in the top grade (not wanting to run his winger over the sideline - unlike Daniela who did exactly that to Latu twice last week in NSW Cup!!)

His offloads last night were sensational & could have created several tries (especially if Utai didn't drop the reverse pass in the 2nd half) - but it also seems he has more confidence in Utai that he did in Beau!!

i see it in future Guesty give him a season or two Could be a handy utility player in SOO as could play in lock or 2nd row
 
…..need to start a thread on this kid.

He finished '10 in fantastic form and has carried it into this season. He simply gets better with every game.

He makes so much ground, almost effortlessly, with nearly every carry and his defense is rock solid.

His first half efforts on Ingliss were outstanding. It was a real ding dong battle and he didnt back down one inch.

He has rep player written all over him.
 
What a great job Blake did on GI tonight. This bloke has a tremendous career ahead of him and I hope he joins Chris Lawrence as a Tiger for life. Anyone know how long we have him on contract? Humphreys should start negotiating an extension 1st thing Monday morning. Future rep player without doubt
 
Ayshford looks very gangly but is a natural footballer deceptively strong and hard to put down. If he developes an offload and better passing game, he will be a superstar
 
Well last week Idris made him his B!#$% and this week our boys shut him down.
The guy isn't as much of a threat as people think he is, imo.
 
Ayshford had a strong game overall and got the better of Inglis. In the end all Inglis could do was try and strip the ball from players and drop the shoulder. He had nothing in attack while Ayshford looked to cause him problems at times.

Not until Origin time. Then he will put in 3 or 4 good performances (probably against NSW :frowning: ) and the media will be singing his praises as the best player in the world.
