OFFICIAL Blake Ayshford [Discussion]

[hadds75]

Geez I think origin player is stretching it. For two reasons

1) Honestly there are better centres. Lets see him produce form like this for longer than a few games. He really hasnt offered anything in attack as a centre up until the last few weeks. Always been solid, and a good defender though.

2) Ayshford can not play LEFT centre. Looked horrible vs brisbane.

What Ayshford is doing now is why I was shocked to read peoples opinions of him on here.

The kid has looked like a champion since he debuted and just continues to improve.

Yes watching him run down the RIGHT hand side of the field with the BALL in his RIGHT hand, using his LEFT hand to palm, really prooves im wrong?

He looked lost vs Brisbane on the wrong side. You clearly dont understand the game.

 

[biggest_tigers_fan]

yes you are wrong and yes i understand the game.It was you who said ayshford couldnt play centre :crazy

 

[hadds75]

and i told you i meant LEFT centre and you told me to watch todays game where Ayshford played right centre.

Hopoate is left centre in origin for those thinking blake should be there. Same reason they wont pick Idris.

x2 - thats up there with "Moltzen is our best fullback"

es watching him run down the RIGHT hand side of the field with the BALL in his RIGHT hand, using his LEFT hand to palm, really prooves im wrong?

yeah, watching him run down the RIGHT side with the ball in his RIGHT hand, using his LEFT hand to palm, skipping out of tackle after tackle, stepping defenders, and calmly offloading a brilliant ball to marshall for the match tying try proves that you are clearly correct about him being a horrible centre as well.

The guy constantly draws two and three defenders, give him a clear offload, and BAM the winger is away. He tackles like a brick wall, CONSISTENTLY brings down larger back-rowers ONE ON ONE, e.g today he cut down meteo today FROM BEHIND about five metres out from the line. If those examples above aren't the moniker of a great young centre, then please explain to me o wealth of rugby league knowledge what is? :mrgreen:

 

[Centaur]

SMOKED it in the second half.

 

[Moh]

I love how this argument all came about from a simple typo.

In other words, there is no argument.

 

[farahfan]

those 2 strong runs he made which led to tries got us back in the match

awesome performance

Read the thread. People said Ayshford should be in origin instead of Hopoate. I said Ayshford can not play left centre.

Switching sides like he did vs the Broncos, eliminates his fend, his pass, offload etc and makes it easier for defender to wrap the ball up as he holds it on the right hand side while moving to the left.

There is NO WAY that Blake would look out of place playing for the Blues on Wednesday given the injuries. I rarely come on here and wax lyrical about our players but this guy has been sensational for the past year or so.

And another thing; apparently re-signed long term without testing his value - give me 17 of them.

well said pete

For a player that doesn't seem that interested in being out there he's let his ability do the talking, Gus & co. were raving about Inu and without knowing the result in the dying stages of the game I knew we had it won when they announced the MOTM so close to 6.00pm, I Knew then that it wasn't a Golden Point game

 

[supercoach]

Good player but not SOO standard yet, today was up against a second rower. Lets reserve or judgment till after a couple hard games but I do concede he is in good form

 

[king_sirro]

Lol. Hadds u wont make another typo will u? How many times did u have to explain u meant "left" centre? hahaha. And u have a valid point.

 

[MacDougall]

He has one skill and it's a beautiful skill. He can't be tackled.
