OFFICIAL Blake Ayshford [Discussion]

[underdog]

I agree , week in week out he has risen to the task at hand . He consistently defended well and his attack has been reasonable .

One thing that did alarm me was , when ayshford resigned he was quoted as saying something like " I'm not one of the elite centers in the game " . Although it is true statement and shows that he is level headed , grounded, etc which are good attributes . I think he would be better served with a bit of arrogance , IE Chris Lawrence .

I'm glad he's got a level head though.

The intercept try he scored in the semi final last year vs the roosters showed what a level head can do under pressure - despite being pulled down short by Carney, he showed a calm predisposition when it came to grounding the ball, crucial time of the game in front of a sellout SFS Crowd

As opposed to Matt Utai vs the Panthers in the first five minutes spilling his lollies over the tryline.

Ayshford has shouldered a lot of responsibility this year given our left fringe has been in tatters for about 80% of the season. He, Fults, Lui and Utai have taken on a lot and turned our right edge into just as dangerous an attacking option as our left has been previously. Can't wait until our left edge is intact because we will be lethal on both sides of the field and we will have our opposition on their toes all game.

Ayhsford has been great for the past couple of years actually but seems to be getting a few more raps for his form this year. probably as people have said because lawrnece has been out for a large part of the year and Blake is seeing alot more of the football. When he first came to first grade people were bagging him saying he is to slow and cant break the line. Well how things can change

 

[Hbom]

After this year, that Bonstonker guy is going to have to update his youtube clip for Blake. I reckon it might double in length!

 

[TurnStyle]

what an excellent attitude he has. feet firmly on the ground and a very pragmatic and objective view on himself.

a few weeks back in the "controversy corner" thread i said that although i am a big fan, i wanted a bit more out of him with regards to his attacking play (e.g.; line breaks and tries). well i certainly can't ask for anything more now!

as for the arrogance thing and CL, i don't see either as arrogant at all. big difference (although sometimes a fine line) between arrogance and confidence and what a great young centre pairing we have in him and CL.

"We want to make it hard for the Tigers. If we can knock them out of the eight, I want to knock them out of the eight,” Cartwright said.

What a nasty nasty man.

Nasty indeed! Hope he's really, really disappointed now! :wink:

Maybe we could return the favour and help them win the wooden spoon by giving them an absolute pasting

I hope we absolutely pants them for that comment!

 

[AJ1]

Stupid comment for Cartright to make. He should have talked up the Tigers, putting pressure on them that way. Cant wait to smash the Titans.

 

[westTAHger]

Great motivational comments supplied by Titans coach John Cartwright.

it would be very funny, to hear Tim Sheens on the post match interview have a dig at Cartwright.
something like, " The titans did make it hard for west-tigers. Hard not to get a bit carried away with end result"

 

[1_4_chicken_chips]

Well said by Carty,now im certain the Tigers will be on their game .Alittle bit of motivation goes a long way .

 

[Demps]

Where's the inside info?
Is the big homie okay?
Will he play next week?

😕

 

[happy_tiger]

Sure they said Concussion Saw nothing though Demps

 

[Black_Orange_White]

Let's hope there isn't a next week. As I don't see that happening, I think Brown can fill in superbly. With Lawrence back as well, we have a great chance of progressing to the Grand Final qualifier.

 

[MacDougall]

he looked angry! he might have been on wobbly legs so got hooked but didn't know what was going on… hope he's okay

 

[BeeJay]

I thought I saw him laying face down on the turf after trying to make a tackle. They didnt show a replay but the commentary team did say concussion.

 

[BeeJay]

Official togers twiter account says that sheens said lawrence and payto big chances of playing next week. Ayshford copped a head knock but "A ok"

 

[russelldp]

Please Don't use the C word

Trouble is Sheens will probably replace Ayshford with Utai, not Brown :unamused:
