I think he has played less games than Ben Jeffries…
Austin has had 4 years in Grade, Jeffries any got 3?!

I agree with you Goose.
At this point I don't think Austin is our answer at 5/8\. Moses is the answer but maybe not until next year at best.
He has a lot to learn also (low number of NRL games). Play him with Brooks and you have the blind leading the blind. They both need more time and Moses will as well. Everyone wants to rush things. Patience.
Know most of you hate Anasta - he is there as a teacher and it is working well. Don't worry about what he is or isn't doing - look how fast Brooks is progressing.
If you don't believe he is doing anything - have a look how good Brooks plays when Anasta is in the side as opposed to when he wasn't. The kid was running around like a chook with it's head cut off.
We are not going to win the comp, yes we want to go well but more importantly we want to set ourselves up for 2015 / 16.

Like the run to score just before half time and get us back in the match against Parra? Or perhaps the try against the Titans to sort of get us back into that game?
Austin has been fantastic in the limited opportunities he has had and the circumstances he has mainly played - without Robbie.

PP I'm not knocking the bloke , but if he wants to develop into a NRL 6 he needs to have and add to his game
As I said , if I was running a tip sheet over him as an opposition coach that would be what Id be talking about
If he can combine that with a deft passing game and can learn to communicate with the players around him he will be a solid NRL player
