I think Moses has been great so far in defence and he could very well be a gun player but Austin is already a quality player. I'm spewing we let him go.

Turnstyle Moses?
You haven't watched a game this year? Moses is defending as good as any backrower and would be rated close to the best defending 5/8 so far this year.

"1\. Blake Austin is an early contender for buy of the season.
The Tigers played hard ball late last year when the Raiders came knocking for the Doonside product and based on today’s performance it’s not hard to understand why. Austin has one of the best running games in the competition, this was especially evident during the first half where his decision to take the line on yielded two tries, one to himself and another to Jarrad Kennedy. Austin also stood up in defence saving two certain tries. Come to think of it, all of Canberra’s new recruits (Hodgson, Williams, Soliola and Waqa) fired today."

Ok 3 things here Fumbles.
1.Moses' attack has nothing to do with me commenting on your "turnstyle" remark, so that's irrelevant.
2.comparing him to Austin has nothing to do with me commenting on your "turnstyle" remark.
and
3.so your a stat man. You keep letting stats make the judgement on a player mate and see how far that gets u.

I can think of 2 guys off the top of my head who'd be contenders for buy of the yr ahead of Austin. Brett Morris and Ryan Hoffman.
Austin is alright, but he's a very selfish player, i don't like that. He's better suited to the centres.

Austin wont be buy of the year but he is shaping as loss of the year.

Very happy to have Moses ahead of Austin. I was a big Blake fan when he came to the club and still like him but Moses has far bigger upside.
I suspect there will be a few people eating hunble pie by the end of this season/mid next season.

Blakes a good creative player at times, lacks speed but he has a crack….I dont think he'll play rep footy, but Moses might

Austin - man of the match
Takairangi - eels sign for 2 more years
Koro - killing it
These should have been retained !

Koro being a "loss" is a huge myth - much like Fifta being a "loss"
He was unhappy at the Tigers, unmotivated, and was never going to get back into first grade on his at the time current attitude, and effort. I'd only consider him a loss if we lost him playing in his current form.

Agree with all those who said "no good keeping those who didn't want to stay"
That refers to "Mr. Hog" Austin, Mr. Can't read the play" Koro and Mr. how many penalties can I give away" Fifita.
Takairangi was never signed to the club in the first place.
The new story is… we are looking ahead and not to the past.
Mitchell Moses, Delouise Hoeter and Matthew Lodge are much better prospects looking forward. There's also a heap more in the wings.
Beside all that if you are talking about Austin in the halfback role - I think Drinkwater is a better half and he can't get in because of a better prospect in Brooks.
Players that want to play for you, will always be better than players who don't.
