Love the way Ayshford plays, as well as Mitch. I understand it seems a bit diff. to how they played in 2010 but let's remember that Ayshford has Utai now, who i think has been great also, but that's new for both of them PLUS since Rd.4 Mitch had Daniella at centre for 2 games then Beau was at wing Rd.7 so Mitch back to centre & now Moltzen at centre. Not trying to make excuses but that is alot of changes in a short period, & don't know how many people noticed but **Moltz is a bit of a ball hog, not great if your his winger!** I give Ayshford, Mitch, Utai & Moltz alot of credit considering the circumstances so far in 2011\. So whoever partners Lote, i hope it's Mitch, i reckon we'll see a huge improvement.

He is far worse than what people make Ayshford out to be. He'd rather go to the line and lay down rather than put the ball to Brown who can challenge the outside defender better due to his size.
 
Great news that Blake has extended his contract until the end of 2015\. All this talk of believing and committing though…damn I wish they did it on the field each week.
 
''I didn't really want to go anywhere else, so I was happy to see what they had to offer,'' Ayshford said. **''I'm not one of the elite centres, where I'd get a lot of money somewhere else.** Playing with my mates, I'm happy to play for any amount of money.

That may be true, but he's solid as a rock and far more consistent than some of these "elite" centres.

Great to see he has extended, now to celebrate with a hat-trick this weekend Blake.
 
Excellent work Blake Glad to see you here for the 4 seasons (3.5) . Guy is just going to get better once Rowdy and Lote gte back . Isn't that freaky just mentioned on another thread last night about he needed to be signed asap . Ok worked for this one know I'll try for Blair We need to sign him asap . Fingers crossed
 
What a legend !!
Wish a few other of the fellas would do the same….................................
Not a super star by any means, but a definite legend in my book.
Tries hard consistently & gets his job done.
Hope Blake reads this.
 
I think Moltzen's a better fullback than centre. I don't see how he fits at centre- almost looks wasted to me. That said, I don't think Moltzen is better than McKinnon at fullback. And now I'm thinking Lui is better than Moltzen at halfback.

I guess I'm starting to think Moltzen might end up being a player without a position to play.

Mitch Brown is a solid player, much in the same way Beau Ryan is. I actually like Brown as the back-up fullback, as you always know he's going to be pretty safe under the kick.

That said, with Lote back, and the current form of Utai, I'm not sure Brown gets a first grade spot once Lawrence returns either.

Guess it's not a bad position to find the club in, when you are trying to find first grade spots for guys with the quality of Mitch Brown & Tim Moltzen..

While he may not the most promising centre around, I think he is under-rated by many. Since he is only 23 with good experience behind him, his best years are still to come.

very true by the time hes 26 or 27 and in his prime he can be a matt cooper.
 
Definitely great news. I also think he'll get better and better.
The only thing I wonder with so much of the club signed to long term contracts at once is,
are we seeing them in the middle of a comfort zone?
Either way I love seeing blokes commit to the Wests cause.
 
There is a story as well in todays telegraph

The reasons he gives for staying are just as great as the news of his contract extention. I love the spirit this club has at times.
