Man of match last week

1st half hatrick this week

Sure we all know he had defensive issues, but tye way he plays no suprises hes carving up ESL..

Still think hes a handy NRL player.. Many good halves have struggled with defence over the years..

More an indication how shit the defence is in ESL than anything.

ESL would make Ben Roberts look like Thurston.

Man of steel is already his. Comp suits his style of play though, open attacking footy with defence not being completely dominated by the wrestle. Only way i would have Austin in my NRL side is if you have a 7 like Cronk

Would stroll into our team at the moment and would be buy of the year compared to our recent recruitment.

Wouldn't say Lewis 'rips him up' going off his form this year. I know our forwards are bad but Lewis has been getting the fundamentals very wrong in the opening rounds.

Defence isn't that bad over there, they just police the ruck a lot more strictly. I for one am a fan. Bit sick of the snails pace the NRL is played at.

Roberts was a standout for castleford years ago, not getting a run these days
