If Blake Austin played for Wigan I would be over joyed at the way he is playing/performing. Opposition fans are highly unlikely to openly admit we are lucky to have him in Super League. My youngest (who is Wigan mad) is actually excited to go to the game on Sunday to watch Blake Austin play.

100%.

I’ve said I think he’s dirty and niggly but he’s a top quality player and I’m glad he’s in superleague. I only wish we had him here at Wigan. The guy has clearly come over for the right reasons unlike a lot of big name players in the past.

He tombstone pile drived an opponent at the play of the ball at the back of last season, the commentators were speechless, that was the end of his NRL career.
