Just the cure we need for the problems we have with Austin. Defence another question.
Sounds like a Raiders half to me
This made me laugh out loud. Sadly it’s also very true

I actually hate Blake Austin. That’s the most putrid half by one player in defense I’ve ever seen.

When is he leaving and more importantly is the cannon capable of firing him direct to Parramatta?

Blake Austin set to leave Raiders

Post by LastRaider »

He has got to go. Any people on this thread that works for the Raiders need to tell management how the fans feel. It’s just beyond a joke now

He’s the worst defensive player in the comp, worse than brooks and Moses imo and has been for a couple of years

I’ll pack his bags after that.

I don’t care how many lifts he gives fans to the stadium. He may be the nicest man to ever lace a boot. But he’s now officially a liability.

Break Austin should have driven Corey Oates through the fence for their first try.

That was abysmal...

Where are those people arguing with me that Sezer is not a better defensive half than Austin.

He seems like a really nice guy so its hard to say but I won't miss him running around in green. He is just too loose in defence and any opposing offence that is NRL standard can pick him apart over the course of 80 minutes for at least one meat pie.

Also how many times do we seen him slip over when he decides to run its maddening.

I like Blake Austin the man.

But his defence is just exposed to often.

I don’t thinks he’s as top a bloke as some think anyways. I won’t miss him.

That was probably the worst performance for the Raiders in some time. Certainly in the last 10 or so years. Every try was his fault pretty much.

Defending next to him is a nightmare too. How many times must Tapine just seem the man outside of him fly out the line like a maniac as the play goes around Austin.

Even McCrone when he was McCroning all over the place didn’t make those kind of defensive errors.

I did not even watch the game but followed the scores throughout the 80 mins. **** right off Austin.

I may get frustrated with players from time to time, but by gosh this guy needs to go. Now.

3 games out of the 8 with 9 games remaining the season is done. As a club we have made a decision that this guy won’t be here next year.

We have to pick someone else in the 6 for the rest of the season. Even if it is Williams!

Hey Greeneyed, can we rename this thread the “Sack Austin” thread please? It accompanies the “Sack Ricky” thread and we can hammer Austin on here to get our frustration out!

Its the Mole, so take it with a grain of salt, but...

Canberra Raiders Blake Austin close to joining English club Warrington Wolves

English club Warrington is close to signing classy Raiders five-eighth Blake Austin for next season. Several Sydney clubs were interested in his services but it is believed a long-term deal at Warrington will prove the decisive factor.
