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

Another starring performance by Austin on the weekend. 2 solo tries and he spearheaded a 56-16 massacre of the Titans.

Moses on the other hand came up with an ignorant double movement attempt and a bunch of weak tackle attempts on Boyd Cordner including one where he was run over for a try.

On the Sunday footy show Johns named Austin for his player of the week for his outstanding City-Country performance. On the other hand, the boys on the show were talking about whether Moses should be dropped to reserve grade or not.

The drums are beating for Austin's origin selection. The drums are also beating for Moses to be dropped to reserve grade where he belongs.

It's gonna be funny when NSW select him, he does poorly, and it ruins the next 5 years of his career - ala Mitchell Pearce.

I'm actually hoping that Austin doesn't get picked for Origin, so he can continue playing for the Raiders through the Origin period haha.

Same....with Williams picking up an injury it very likely would be the return of mccrone. I think really only Vaughan should be selected tbh.

The Origin snub Austin will most certainly get will be the Raiders blessings for sure.

Get the Premiership is worth way more in my eyes. Green machine Hulking Up this season

NRL Trophy > SOO

I don't think Austin would be out of place in origin to be honest. Credit where credit is due I say, Austin and Pearce would make a very formidable Blues halves pairing.

There's no reason to be dirty on selectors if Austin doesn't get picked.

He's played one third of a first grade season at a decent to high level.

Indeed. The only raiders player who has done the real hard yards for selection is Vaughan who has been playing at this level since he came into first grade. Even then nsw have a billion props

That said I'm kinda selfish here and as I said earlier with injuries the raiders are dangerously close to mccrone in the halves. So I think that Austin shouldn't be selected

Lots of props? Is that why you selected creagh and watmough as your bench props in the 2012 decider?

100%
as ive said before, if picked it should be as a super sub #14, he's not ready for a fulltime play making gig at Origin level yet, picking him to do so would be a mistake for the blues and potentially an even bigger mistake for Austin
