Would You Want Blake Austin At Your Club?

I think you're in denial man. I think him leaving is a foregone conclusion.

Well, I was at the game today, and he did make an effort to limp around half the stadium on crutches after the siren with the rest of the team...

Make of that what you will.

Because he's a badass. I don't want him to leave. I think he's already awesome and still has a lot of improvement in him too. I just don't trust the club to do the right thing anymore.

Maybe I have watched the wrong few games, but the few Tigers games I have seen Austin was terrible not even close to NRL std.
Maybe $ouff$ can have him and partner him with another useless gronk in Sutton

He's a gun. We shouldn't of let him go to start with, on par with letting Graham go. He'll end up at Storm,Sharks or Raiders imo.

Maybe I'm wrong BuffaloRules.

Lets hope he stays next year.

I think he will.

He's a future captain somewhere. Farah won't be around much longer and I don't see any players coming through that scream captaincy to me.

I have a gut feeling that Mick Potter's thoughts on this matter wont be particularly relevant in about 48 hours time

 

[Rhyno]

No.

He reminds me of a prime Campo minus the passing game, I think if he develops a solid passing game he could end up being special

Let's not split hairs. The article says "six players" and he is one of the six mentioned. Unless you are saying there is another player unnamed then he is one of them.

http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/six-players-set-leave-wests-tigers/

so what you're saying is you're making a guess at the 6th players identity based off a rumour.

he has not been granted a release yet. he might be, but not yet.

moses has a million times more potential than austin. At the moment austins better, but thats expected given he's been in the NRL far longer, played more games and has at least 10kg on mitchell.

Ive always rated moses as better than brooks, hopefully we see that next year.

Wouldn't mind austin partnering brooks with moses coming off the bench. Knowing the tigers we will need a utility most games and austin/moses can cover EVERY position in the 13 between them except prop.

I voted No but only because the Cowboys dont need him. He's a gun though, hope he ends up at the Raiders and they manage to build a good squad around him.

Surely decisions like this should be made by the 2015 coach and that won't be Potter. Austin is a whole hearted player but is pretty limited in ability IMO. Given a choice between keeping he or Moses then it is a no brainer to me, keep Moses. Would be a pretty good fit at the Raiders though.
