Blake Austin is a better 5/8 than Anthony Milford & Mitchell Moses

What are you on about, why wouldn't we defend our own player? Especially when he's still learning a new position.

Being Bias as f**k is what im going on about. Is Milford a better footballer then Austin, f**k oath he is. Is he a better 5/8 ? f**k no, he never will be.

Austin should be in the NSW team this year either in the halves or what someone else mentioned at number 14. He can pretty much play anywhere except the front row.

How many times in the past decade has MotM gone to a player on the losing team? I reckon you could count them on 1 hand. I can't think of any. Thurston may have got a few, they love giving him the 3 points for even breathing in the direction of the ball.

2013 grand final comes to mind :lol:

Adam Reynolds looking to return this weekend. Could have a big bearing on the outcome. Not sold on Austin at Origin level. Big step up from City/Country.

Spot on. It's very rare and when it happens its usually in VERY close games
Austin was great but you cant be on a team that lost by double digits and be the MOTM

You just can't. It's that simple

That being said, there an astounding level of irony seeing a knights fan complain about the Motm bias given to Thurston. Andrew Johns only had to have his name on the damn team sheet and he would get 2 Dally M points :lol:

I'd rather he doesn't get selected anyway. Raiders need him, I don't think I could stomach another second of McCrone.

He must have been pretty close to man of the match, we lost by 40 every time he didn't play! Ahhh... the glory days.

Likeable guy too. I can see all the haters have gone quiet cuz lol

Yeah bro, especially those Bronco clowns.

I reckon NSW should go with a Keary/Austin halves combo. They're the 2 form halves, but they won't pick them due to inexperience.

I don't mind if they don't pick Stone Cold Blake Austin, as Skeepe said, we need him.

I don't recall anyone disputing the fact Austin is a good player, personally I was just mentioning how salty those tears are that you're willing to begrudge Anthony Milford when before it was known he was coming to Brisbane he was the next immortal to wear green

Pack it in guys,

NRL 360 provided their summary on the top halves of the competition. List is below:

1) Pearce
2) Hodkinson
3) Maloney
4) J Reynolds
5) A Reynolds
6) Keary
7) Brooks
8) Austin

WOW...just amazing.

How they rate Austin that low is just confusing. They really have to watch more games.

That'll teach you for watching 360 . . . admitting that pair could tell you something you can't work out for yourself is hilarious

Pearce at number one and no Hunt in sight.

This list must be a troll.
