| It appears that some of you have written Austin off before he has even arrived. Given the guy a fighting chance . Price has had time to assess matters and will get it right. I always felt Roberts was a rushed purchase and what was available there has been more time to assess Austin and how he fits in with Prices philosophy Let’s not pre- determine Austin before he arrives and instead judge him after 10 or 12 games.

Didn't you want to get rid of Price a few weeks into this season?

| So if Austin comes over and produces superb attacking play as barba did, yet we don't make either final, does that make roberts more of a success?

Reeling them in on that.

No it was during the first half of the first game

It possibly could be judged a better season because we wouldn't be bottlers.
The 2011 season, when we were knocked out in the playoffs after winning the League Leaders Shield, was probably the peak of the TS era, and we didn't bottle a final.

| He is making the right k8nd of noises about coming over which is a positive and with family in tow hopefully he can get settled in quickly. My preference would be for there to be a new partner for him to work with.
At present we can only speculate on how things will work out but it's a fair assumption he will work out better than Roberts.

| So, what's everyone's verdict on Blake after his first season with us?

Next question.

The unsurprising obvious verdict would be : refreshingly great for the first few months, then never quite the same after a period of injury.

| He was excellent until his season became hampered by injury.

| Very happy with him. Bought in to the club and the town and seems happy here. As expected he has a very strong running game which suits SL, we just need some other threats around him next year to make him even more dangerous. It became a bit predictable last season that our only real attacking threat came from him or a Clark run from a quick play the ball.
Never got chance in the final third of the season following injury, would have been interesting what would have happened with us had he stayed fit for the full year. I don’t think we would have won it, but I think we’d all be a lot more confident going in to 2020z
