OFFICIAL Blake Ayshford [Discussion]

[Goose]

I agree Moltz i prob the best 6, but, he doesn't respond to being moved around IMO, so if it is short term he should stay at fullback, we seem to play better with Aysh at 5/8 than Lawrence, with Moltz filling in a with a bit of ball playing

 

[MacDougall]

Ayshford doesn't pass enough to be so close to the ruck.

 

[hellman]

I'd prefer (in injury crisis)

1\. Ryan

6\. Moltzen
7\. Benji

with Chris & Blake staying in the regular positions.
Honestly think that'd be our strongest option instead of playing Blake or Chris @ 5/8th.

I like this the best.

Agreed. If it was long term def move beau to fb, moltz to 5/8, with Chris & Aysh staying in the centres.

Looking forward to the return of Siro, Ellis & the Cashman!!

Too classy centres to waste in the halves. Especially with a player whose favoured position is Half there aswell?

Be definitely good too see Ellis back for his last few games for the Tigs!

 

[LaT]

wtf has he done wrong in the centre?

He was way out of form early in the season. Reddy essentially forced his way into centre at the time because he was playing better.

Since then things have just evolved each week.

 

[tig_prmz]

he was just not playing to his potential.. and no one in our backline was except ryan. also, what has reddy done wrong in the centres? i want one of them in the centres, beau on the wing. im pushing for aysh because ryan and himself have built a good partnership over a couple of years and there is no point breaking that for utai.

 

[seijai]

hahaha…Utai plays his best football, as opposed to Aysh and you want Aysh to replace Utai? :crazy

If Utai wasn't playing well, maybe this argument would stick

Moltzen has been in the side due to luck. If Tadesco wasn't injured, Moltzen may not be in the team right now.

Tuqiri is playing because of reputation, although he has improved 10 fold from the early rounds. I really dont see him in the team next year.

Aysh doesnt have the luck like Moltzen, nor the reputation like Tuqiri, and isnt playing as well as Utai right now

I would, however, take him over Reddy

 

[tig_prmz]

hahaha…Utai plays his best football, as opposed to Aysh and you want Aysh to replace Utai? :crazy

aysh > ryan at centre
ryan > utai on wing.

i never said aysh > utai. :crazy :brick:

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

For mine if Sironen is injured we have to play:

6\. Marshall
7\. Miller (give him another go, he is a better half than Ashyford or Lawrence).

 

[gazroc]

Neither they are both terrible no 6s humble or molts at 7 benji at 6 will do me or any combo of the three

I totally agree, we wasted several seasons trying to make one the games best ever five eights into a halfback and now we are doing it again. I have had enough! Humble or Masada at half and Marshall at no 6\. However, it would not have mattered tonight who played where, our attitude in defense was appalling, line speed was not there, sliding defense none existent, the only highlight was seeing Robbie Farah in the form that will see the Blue's take the trophy.

 

[JoshTheNewcastleFan]

Why on earth would you have either there? Honestly, coming from a non Tigers supporter it seems to be one of the most dumbest selections putting a freakin centre at five-eighth when you could just put Moltzen there who is a playmaker & have Ryan at fullback, Ryan is awesome there.

Mate, it wouldn't not have mattered tonight, the Tigers defensive effort was appalling and I won't argue with you there about Ryan, he is best on the wing or at fullback. As for a number 7 we had $500,000 a year to spend on someone but we bought a forward with about as much line penetration as a bloke with 2 inch love pole.

Dont know Josh…you are not the first opposition fan to mention this. Most on here would agree with this as well.
Tim rarely settles on his final lineup this early in the season.

Welcome to our world.

 

[Sabre]

Kills me to say it but he needs to be dropped.
He had such great potential but now like Collis before him he hasn't taken his game forward and if anything has gone backwards.
Give one of the young guns their debut next week.

Sorry to say a waste of space not just this game but all season got to go.

 

[lynchy]

Plays like he isnt interested, no emotion , no aggression or purpose just plods along in cruise mode . don't think he wants to he there. Not the same player of 2011.

[ashman]

Its a hard one - Did anyone else notice he made a few real straight and hard runs in the last 15 mins or so ?? and they were pretty effective. Maybe he could Have some Impact in the forwards. I think his style comes across like he's very casual and carefree, But I hope this is not actually how he is.. Like a lot of things with our team, i just don't know…

 

[shano]

He got picked up and driven backwards a fair way on a few occasions. In saying that, he did make a few hard and straight runs late in the game which shows he can do it if he puts the effort in. I can't wait to get Utai back. He definitely knows how to run hard and straight EVERY time.
