Forum's: Player of the year

My only thing against Austin is I think he plays as an individual not as a team. I.e those games where we only score through his individual effort he only scores and we don't win. I think brooks is a team player. Spine of brooks anasta and teddy was really working.
 
for one vote only it has to be Austin.

early on in the season he showed such a great attitude, bided his time and played everywhere. as the season has progressed he has only gotten better - to the extent that in the last few rounds he has been the only player who has even looked close to being a problem for the opposition.

his back story (hard work on his conditioning) and coaching kids as well as his positivity only makes him easier to vote for.
 
Austin should be given the six, a long term contract and groomed as our future captain. If Moses and Brooks become good enough Austin can move to the 13 like Fittler did.
 
Taupau for mine

I see Austin as not a team player; tries go begging because he doesn't let the ball go when he should and he is a poor defender. Had a good season though in a decimated and white anted season.

definitely. i firmly believe clubs should be meritocracies; sure moses is seen as having all this potential, but i don't think he should simply be groomed as the 6 and given the jumper as a fait accompli. if austin is the better player, so be it. he deserves the position until he doesnt, and competition for the spot can only benefit moses anyway.
 
For reasons of consistency and all the different positions he was asked to cover, I'd have to vote for Austin also.
 
lol You guys make it hard …it's a nominations thread...put 2 more down for Austin.... Demps
 
Blake Austin for me. Tapau special mention. Glad so many can see the value Blake brings to the team! Hope he sticks around long term. A few on here mention he hogs the ball, but would you really want to pass it to our backs? :smiley:
