It has just popped into my head randomly that "The world's greatest RL coach" allowed that to happen.
It is literally unbelievable, shambolic and embarrassing.

Re: Blake Austin on the wing
Especially as he flew an established winger in Handley half way round the world to fill in, then didn't even put him in the squad ! Was never able to understand that.

Re: Blake Austin on the wing
Just a guess but I get the feeling that K.Sinfield had a big say in getting Handley flown out.

Re: Blake Austin on the wing
He might end up on the wing for wire the way hes playing....... he looks overweight and unfit to me...... i think the longer SL season and internationals are taking the toll on him...... add in cooler conditions....... if i was a wire fan ide be pushing for patton at 7 with widdop 6( he looks lost at first receiver)...... maybe austin at thirteen

Re: Blake Austin on the wing
I seem to be in the minority who think Austin is a good player. I certainly think he offers a lot more than Widdop. But of course playing him on the wing was a complete farce, neither fair on the player, the team, or the fans.
