Blake Austin

[milton]

putting together my fantasy team and want to know the chances of him playing in round 1 or will he only play if injuries happen throughout the year.

Depends on what Ivan wants. He has said in previous articles he wont make up his mind on the team until after the trials. However, Gus has said Blake has been training really hard in the off season and is a big talent. IMO he will be on the bench from the first game

Should play. I would start him in the backrow but more then likely off the bench given he's mobile. He will be our version of Lewis Brown imo

 

[murraymob]

barring injories has to be in the 17 picked for the first round

IMO he'll play most of the season and should get more then enough game time to have a fair rise over his current worth. One of very few players I'm confident in making money on early in the season.

 

[betcats]

Should definately be in the starting 17 imo

Happy 21st blake. Hope he has a big year for the Panthers.

 

[Panther_Brendo]

He has had a big off season. I really hope he is given a real go this year.

By Gus on twitter.

 

[murraymob]

it is also confirmed on the panther site

 

[Fibroman]

Great news. This kid is the brightest prospect since Jennings.

I know its normal for young guys, but Austin really needs to improve his defense.

He was targeted last week against the Dragons and conceded a try, this week Bowen went straight through him

 

[Panthers_God]

ditto for Walsh, who has 5 years more experience and hasnt learn a thing..

Bowen did get him early but he can do that to almost anyone. Austin handled T.Sims with ease till he went off i was impressed

Yeah. The left has become targetted since Burns was moved. Uaisele, Jennings & Burns were good together for some reason Uaisele changed wings. we looked better when Austin went to the backrow.
