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

I'd be interested in how Austin would go in the NRL today to be honest.

Slightly less well than when he was at the Raiders in the final months before he left. And that was not good.

He'll be a step slower. Everyone will fall for his signature step & dummy again for about a month and then they won't.

He certainly won't be any keener for contact in defence than he was, after years in SL and that was a major reason he got moved on.

He could probably get a contract and float around as a Milford type "emergency half" but the glaring deficiencies would mean no one would want him starting long term and you may as well be investing in a young rookie half who'll at least tackle and might improve other areas...

Australian fans will get to see Blake Austin again in person in 2024 when he plays in the NRL for the Tigers

Please note that this will be the Entrance Tigers in the Newcastle Rugby League

Mitch will still be running around for Parra - but playing mainly at halfback while Milford might get a couple of starts at number 6 at The Dolphins
