City? I'd say he will be the Right Centre for NSW… Playing a secondrower hasnt worked the last few years, then they tried Gasnier (bahaha) and didnt that mamoth Idris have a game there also?

Get with the program Ricky... Blake is your man to mark Inglis!!!

[sad part is I think we will lose our frontrow and centres this year to origin]

Just like Chris Lawrence he is the complete package, we are lucky to have him and need to make sure we keep him!

We are keeping him we re signed blake untill 2015\. And chris lawrence until 2016 we resigned them both this year what a great centre pairing we have for years to come.

I'll believe that when I see it, Watto. I still have no faith in the current NSW selectors. They seem to go out of their way to choose players from other clubs before selecting a Tigers' player in their team. Ayshford and Farah should be in the squad, but only Lawrence and Galloway will make it - and even they will be pushing it, I reckon.
 
Blake certainly did step it up this season and we can expect further improvements next year . Yes he seemed to be carrying an injured ankle for 4-5 weeks as well but battled on regardless
Coaches just love players like Blake
 
Nice of Robbie to be supporting a team mate, good luck to Blake if he can break through the political barrier then he could get there. As for Robbie, concentrate on your own game big fella, all the best for 2012 particularly when you go head to head with the hushpuppies from bankstown.
 
I think everyone has seen what Blake can actually do this year, since our playmakers relied so heavily on him with the complete devastation of our left side.

He hasn't turned into this player in one season, he's always been like that. Big strong runner of the ball, goo pace, hard to tackle, and great ball security. The hallmarks of a good centre. It'd be just rewards for him to get a City guernsey this year.
 
i didnt rate him in 2010.. i thought he was slow and a hog… but he seems to have really kicked on since he was told he was on the chopping board late 2010..

you know how hard it is to loose kgs these days.. im going to have to do overtime at the gym to work all the Humble Pie off..

2012 is to far away.... lets HTFU... bring it on!!!!
 
who do NSW have tp play right centre for next season???

jennings left or right centre?? with the shortage of right centres and he continues his form next year SOO may not be too far for blake considering the circumstances..

On the chopping block? I thought his form in 2010 was good as well. Obviously stepped up this year since the team has relied on him heavily on the right.
 
there was an artical about him saying he was told by Sheens he needs to step up… and he did ... that was early to mid 2010 i think

Since then he has been a total gun. I re watched the last twenty minutes against the warriors last night where we came back from 22-4 down, and the last 20 against Newcastle where we won 17-16 - the kid carried us through parts of the game where we looked like shot ducks, and turned both games with some inspired line breaks, beating several players and generally playing out of his skin.

Glad he's with us for a long time - and best part is he seems like such a genuinely nice and humble kid.
 
I think he's been excellent since Daniella was pushing for his spot. Really stepped up to the challenge.

Blake Ayshford is the most underrated player in the WT team..he played superbly in 2011…I know many teams would love a centre combo of Lawrence and Ayshford...glad they are on **_our_** side!

He was slow and he was a hog….many many ppl saw him like that.
You only need pie if you claim he would never change, or never make it...which would be a rash statement to make on a developing player.
Good to see the development hes come thru with tho....I hope his improvement continues, some of his runs were terrific
 
It was definitely his best season thus far for Ayshford. He is strong and rangy which makes him difficult to bring down, coupled with his massive hands that allow him to carry the footy like a golf ball and offload at will in a tackle. He breaks the first tackle more times then not, if we have Blair on the right hand side in attack watch this kids career go to another level. Very excited supporter right here!
