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

Yeah he's f**king excellent. Cant believe the bunnies let him walk.
I can... I thought he was overrated at the time.

Never would have thought he would be better than any of these 3. Although to be fair... I think all 3 would have been better at Roosters with Pearce and then Cronk as halves partners.

Maloney doesn't let in as many tries as Moses does. Missed tackles is a blanket stat but not all come the same. Maloney tends to race off the line more and when he misses a tackle it doesn't always lead to a try. Plus he at least slows the players down.

Moses often just gets trampled or gets caught with a stray arm out and basically doesn't even slow the attacker down on the way through.

I think he'll get better, in fact he already had but he's still a huge liability in defence.

Moses is a good times player.

Plays off the back of a team riding a wave but otherwise disappears when times are tough.

Probably has the highest ceiling of the three, but he comes across as a whiny bitch.

That's because he stood up to the Gladiator and they don't like that.

I would take Milford over Moses myself, meanwhile Austin has been left right out, cannot even get a bench spot in a side 0-3.

So apparently Austin turned down a 3 year 850k a season contract with Canberra last season. In hindsight I guess you could say it was a bad call, but good on the bloke for backing him self. I was really annoyed when we let him go at the Tigers & decided on Moses as our 5/8th. I don't get too watch many Canberra games, could I get a fans opinion on what's gone wrong?

Cant read defence, has seemingly alienated his team mates (some smoke around that here in CBR), his passing game hasnt developed at all, nor has his kicking game... probably because he's coached by a f**king idiot whose history with halves is akin to Hilter's history with jews.

All in all, it's been a total shit show. Haha.

Eh, I have a feeling Milford will have a big year (forever the optimist when it comes to my Broncos ;) ), but to unlock his full potential I think he needs a Cronk, a Taylor or even a Reynolds inside of him.

Maybe so, but none of these three will ever be in Wally's, Fittler's or Lockyer's class.
