Rhino in peace. Austin looking like the player who first came to Wire. Not saying for a second you guys still need him, as you have a great half back pairing just now.
But did you think he could do it again? Why did we not see more of this at Wire?
Genuinely interested…..
He was used as a super sub at Canberra.
And tbh I think that is how he should be used.
Not good enough for a starting gig but his condition from playing in the NRL meant he arrived at Wire fit and hungry with a fire to show the NRL what they will be missing…
It meant he was unbeatable in our competition, until he got injured.
He became unfit, carrying a bit of a belly that he never lost afterwards, loosing his much of his most effective gift, lightening pace off a sidestep and upper body strength to power through,m.
He had skill, the likes of what I’ve never seen since Jonathan Davis and Phil Blake.
We asked him to do the job of controlling the game, but he just couldn’t do it….he was a finisher, not a play creator.
