Top news, now if he'd stop carrying the ball in one hand i will like him even more.

honestly speaking, i have never seen him make a mistake from ball security, despite his reach and carry. I like the fact he always seems to have an arm free, just wish he'd offload more.
 
Well he wont be going anywhere considering he has a gig for the next 4 years, he extended his contract unitl the end of 2015\. Dean Collis was ok, but he didnt play that well in the last couple of years, played a few good games especially the win over the storm at blue tongue stadium. Geoff Daniela would be the other centre bar injury, i think alot of people are forgetting that as well, he has been missed this year, i think. There are a couple of good centres in NYC as well, but obviously Mr Sheens must think they are ready yet for 1st grade or the big time otherwise they would be in there by now, given our diabolical extent with injuries this year. I agree Moltzen isnt a centre and doesnt pass the ball enough for my liking that is required if you want him to play in the centres. He played ok against the broncos when he scored 2 tries, you mhave to admit as well mitch brown has lifted his game in regards to the high ball there was a time last year that he looked a real liability under the bomb but quickly cleaned his act up as the season went on, i remember one bomb he missed bad against the noahs arks at leichhardt oval he missed and led to a couple of tries as well.

Yeh he could be asked to look elsewhere in a few weeks of he gets injured. Harsh world these days.

On the signing, im very happy. Im a believer players and coaches should never be signed for more than 3 years at a time, but overall im very happt Blake re-signed. I would like to see him work hard on his game as a centre and not rush a move to the backrow. I believe he shouldnt be looking at the forwards for another 4 or 5 years. I think it should be in the backend of his career when he makes the switch.
 
Finally some good news this week great signing for the club and if need be he would be capable of being a back rower as well but for the moment he is going well at centre and is still learning the position at NRL level.
 
It's all good news with Blake's signing.
I agree that he is solid now and has the potential to develop into a Matt Cooper style centre over the next 5 years.
We all wish the team would turn their words into deeds - consistently. The next two games will define the 2011 Wests Tigers.

I think we will see Lawrence moved to lock before we see Blake moved there He has the size , defence and would be great to have a hard staright running lock with ball skills , Many successful sides over the years have had ball playing locks (ex backs)
 
Lawrence to the forwards would be an absolutely disgraceful move. Why would we ever move someone with his speed to the pack? If Sheens ever entertains that idea (and i know he has), then that will do me. Besides, he isnt as big as some people make out. He's a nice size for the centres and his speed would be wasted in the backrow considering we have so many qaulity backrowers that can get on the edges like Dwyer, Murdoch and Ellis. Simply no need to ever move him to the pack and lose the strike power outwide.

This obsession with turning centres to backrowers is really starting to bug me. If a player naturally evolves over time to be better suited to the pack i.e, Ricketson, Wiki etc then thats fine, but if a centre is still dangerous as a centre than why move him to the pack?

Well actually I think he will go to five eight first when Benji retires and then to lock KS
 
50 GAMES FOR BLAKE AYSHFORD
By Wayne Cousins
25/05/2011 4:08:42 PM

Quality young Wests Tigers centre Blake Ayshford will play his 50th game in the NRL when he lines up against St George Illawarra Dragons on Sunday, May 22, at WIN Jubilee Oval.

The milestone comes a week after the 23-year-old re-signed for a further three seasons with Wests Tigers. The new deal sees Ayshford at Wests Tigers until the end of the 2015 season.

After representing Australia in the Junior Kangaroos side of 2007, Ayshford rose through the Wests Tigers U20s ranks before making his NRL debut against the Brisbane Broncos at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in round 11 of the 2009 season.

A former Wests Tigers Rookie of the Year, Ayshford has played 49 first grade games and has scored 19 tries. He is now a regular starting centre under Head Coach Tim Sheens.

Congratulations Blake on reaching 50 NRL games.
 
Just like Liam Fulton's milestone of 100 games resulted in a win I sincerely hope that Blake's 50 game will also result in a Tigers victory, go Blake have a big one for all of us.
 
Lift for this one fellas, Blake has been one of the more consistent performers this year, and deserves a win to celebrate.
