SHEENS sees DAVIS as a forward, and he's days as a centre look over,, NU AKEPIRA hasn't trained since he injured his ankle in the very first training session last year, he had an operation on it and should be ready by round 1..

Oh, that premier league player.
Why on earth would he be scratching his head?

No scapegoating at all on my part, I've not seen much of Davis, so I'm not gonna judge him as a player.
But I am asking a serious question about why someone in reggies would be scratching their head about this.
I don't think it is unreasonable that Davis would be behind Brown and Daniela, who in turn are behind Lawrence and Ayshford, based on the fact that Daniela and Brown have already played FG.

daniella will have to be to good to replace our current centres. not taking into consideration injuries. I dont understand how Brad Tighe was in front of him at Penrif. It seems as though he is bored at playing on the wing. i wish him all the best.

according to the article daniela is a solid defender. you cant judge him on one bad match. What do you people really know about Daniela that Sheens doesn't?

a different reason to why Sheens bought him
Is it just me, or is Blake Ayshford by far the most underrated player in our team?
Despite not having the speed, explosive ability or sheer size of Lawrence (and is therefore not on the path to superstardom), he is similar in that he is a very complete footballer. He also reminds me of Moltzen in that since his debut in first grade, he has never, ever looked like out of his depth. When there's a try on the table, Ayshford will generally make sure he carries it over the line, or delivers the pass at the right moment in time. A conversion rate of 8 tries from 15 matches is pretty handy. He's very solid in defence and I'm never concerned he's going to be beaten one on one. If it weren't for Jennings and Lawrence, he'd be a chance for City selection I would've thought. Definitely preferable to Pomeroy.
I suppose there's not much point to this post other to say that for all the ability he has demonstrated, Ayshford doesn't get the kudos he deserves

Blake Ayshford has done well since coming into the first grade.
He reminds me of the no nonsense, hard tough centres of years gone by like Ron Giteau.
he does his job and well.
a real quiet achiever, and an important cog in wests-tigers machine.

a very good player that will only get better - even better than then great ron giteau himself. He's hard to put down, and he's at the right place at the right time.

Im certainly a fan of Ayshford. The only thing i want him to work on is his ability to find his winger. He seems hesitant when he knows Ryan has space outside him and often mistimes his pass. Its something that he can fix and when he does, i expect big things from him. Peter Jackson and Paul McGregor like for mine.

He wants Ryan to come inside quite often,Ryan never reads this and Blake gets caught out,give him a decent winger(I don't mean Fitzy)who can read the play and he will star.

Where do you see him ending up then?
@Johns said:
He's destined for the backrow in Sheens eyes.. although most centres at the club are. I don't see any reason to move him atm. Maybe when Taniela comes back there might be a push for Beau into right centre to accommodate.
But like TimmyB said, he made the transition to first grade quiet easily. He's a very reliable defender, looks a few yards quicker this season too. I'm a massive fan. Reminds me a little of Matt King.. when he puts on a few more kilos he'll be a real handful.
