Blake Austin

Any thoughts if you think he would be a good experienced half back with Harry Smith as he is out of contract . I watched him in the NRL and he was superb, in the right team he is devastating .

I’m not his biggest fan he seems to go missing at pivotal points from what I’ve seen. But then again I’ve never seen him play in a side that’s on top to be fair.

He could do a job just how much would he want.

Not for me

has the ability to destroy a team single handedly but only choses to do it once every 10 games and very rarely when it matters most

Would want too much money. Not consistent enough.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.

We should have signed him when Williams turned us down.

I'd take a punt on him if the price was right.

An old head in the pivot position and also a good kicking game our backs with that pace would be fearful for the opposition and dont forget Warrington made George look ordinary 2 yrs contract worth the risk ????

If he comes at the same price as an injured cust then it might be a good fit

Agree - blows hot and cold. Also, for some reason which I can't remember, I suspect he's disruptive to team spirit - or am I thinking of Aidan Sezer? I think it's something I was told by a Rhinos fan.
