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

He's playing much better than both of them atm. Milf only brilliant in flashes, Austin seems to be involved all game doing good things.

As exciting as it is to see Austin going so well, he's still got a long way to go with his passing and kicking. He's playing a lot like a better version of Ben hunt at the moment in that his running game is sublime, but when the dummy and go doesn't work - he's often found out

Hodgson takes the pressure off his sub par kicking game. He sometimes takes the wrong option too.

I guess its the old nfl debate. Is he a "system player" who slots well into the raiders because he has a hooker who will do a big chunk of the kicking. I think papalii on his outside helps it means players can't easily come in on him so his running game flourishes. He gets enough ball to papalii though.

I think Stuart is very keen to move papalii to prop but Austin absolutely needs a player like papa on his outside.

Papa looked pretty quick when he scored that try. He had a great game today but Austin was outstanding. My only concern is Austin's lack of passing but he could be setting up his opposition in advance as they have to respect his passing and running game because of his dummy and ability to move off both feet.

I think the leaders in the game need to stop underrating this guy. He plays with a whole lot of real passion...not that bullshit some fans tag Reynolds with having.

The only conclusive info we can surmise from this thread, is that wiityfan knows zero about footy. And thank Theduges he's off the Dragons bandwagon... RIP M. Witt...

Austin has to be in the NSW team, greatest myth around you need your halves partners from the same club team.

You're nuts!

You're missing the real differentiator here, Blake Austin is a sexy beast who makes Moses look like an ugly merkin.

I'd say his running game is better then Milfs now. Milf is better with a broken line but against a set defence Austin is miles better, and that's a shit load more valuable.

moses should be learning his trade in the nsw cup or under 20's.

not sure how it benefits him or the team getting pummelled every week
