OFFICIAL Blake Ayshford [Discussion]

[Balmain_Tiger]

dont know about blake not having pace..with all due respect he is a good runner. its his ability to turn around that makes him look slow. he always seems to break through the first defender with his hand free looking for an offload but no one is there to take it. it may be a case of the supporting players making him look worse.

i think ayshford has the goods in attack. defending is a concern though… phil gould said he doesn't think ayshford has the upper body strength to deal with playing centre. well, why not? he's been in the system for a few years now? or has he been injured during the off-season???

There does seem to be an issue defensively.

Alot of that is Blakes issue. However has it escaped everyones attention that Marshall has been defending on the right since Luis last injury? I think people underestimate how bad a defender Marshall can make a centre look. Mith Moltzen and Lui Ayshford defended one further in as well. Those combinations worked well. Amazing how a relatively inexperienced Ayshford with Marshall defensing next to him looks just as bad at times as an inexperienced Lawrence did in the same predicament

We have bigger issues to deal with regarding selections than Blake.
He certainly has lost some speed but defensively "at times" he can produce some solid tackles.
Best judged as a 70/30 player.

If Ellis comes back into the team this week, I would suggest that Fulton plays in Blakes position.

He is a better defender, seems faster and has better ball skills.

Sorry Blake, you need some time in the reggies to work on your defensive deficiencies.

Is in the 'in' crowd at the tigers so he has a safe spot for his career.

Has been terrible this year and should have been sacked along with fitzhenry ages ago

Does Beau Ryan play footy? I thought he was a media personality

yeh wtf is going on with ryan - he's investing alot of time with media opportunities, doesn't show even an inkling of injury, all the whilst our wing spot is being trampled all over :unamused:

He had nerve damage in his neck/shoulder. Not the easiest injury to treat and it wipes him out of doing contact work.

But allows you to dodge fruit and other objects from certain team mates. Doesn't wash with me

 

[T-REXX]

he could of played today

No, He couldnt have!!!

 

[biggest_tigers_fan]

maybe what we need to get daniella into the centres full time

 

[Golden]

the worst thing about this is fitzfumble will now be back on the bench

 

[habibsta33]

[biggest_tigers_fan]

oh dear after 1 game i actually forgot about fitzy but golden i hope sheen's doesn't pick him next week would prefer skando :laughing: :laughing:

 

[angeman]

daniella is a good replacement. if mckinnon is back next week we shouldn't see fitzy (ryan and brown > fitzy)

 

[biggest_tigers_fan]

daniella is a good replacement. if mckinnon is back next week we shouldn't see fitzy (ryan and brown fitzy)

AYSHFORD TO HAVE X-RAY ON SUSPECTED BROKEN HAND
By Wayne Cousins

Wests Tigers centre Blake Ayshford will undergo x-rays on Monday for a suspected broken left hand.

Ayshford suffered the injury early in the first half and received a needle at half-time to get through the match against the Sharks at Leichhardt Oval tonight. Wests Tigers won 24-22.

Coach Tim Sheens is hoping to have full-back Wade McKinnon return from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the win over the Sharks.

In post match news from the dressing room, Sheens will decide over the next few days as to whether Benji Marshall will retain the goal-kicking duties. Marshall made an on field decision early in the second half to hand over the goal-kicking duties to centre Chris Lawrence. Marshall and Lawrence kicked a goal each.

Captain Robbie Farah was relieved to get the two points but admitted that "it was an empty feeling singing team victory song" afterwards such was the "scrappy" performance from his side.

Lock Chris Heighington believes the side still has plenty of room for improvement and has not yet turned in a full 80 minutes performance this season.

What a [This word has been automatically removed]in idiot needling a centre with a broken hand when theres a better one on the bench that didnt get used at all!!!

So we scrape home by two against potential spooners playing with 15 and a half against 17….these decisions at times are bewildering

[innsaneink]

So what you saying….doc has no idea so he jabs him anyway?
Sounds familair....amateur quack.

Miss the point as usual - its serious enough to be needled yet theres a center sitting back on the bench pickin his nose doin nothing....the writers of fawlty Towers couldnt script better comedy
