Think Zeb Taia did a good job on him in the first game. Austin plays the majority of his game down the right edge and Taia did a good job on him down our left.

Austin has been anonymous in the two games he’s played against us but along with Clark he’s still Warringtons most dangerous player and gives them a chance because without him I’m struggling to see where their points are coming from. However, looking at his Instagram I think it’s highly unlikely he’s going to be playing. Some quote about not rushing anything and then he says it wasn’t his time and that he’s looking forward to cheering the boys on.
He's not playing so end of thread surely.
I was told earlier today that Austin hasn't even travelled with the team.
I’m no physio, but having a protective boot removed 3 days before having to travel with the squad is ludicrous to even consider
I hope he plays. Wembley always finds out players who are not 100%. I dont care how we win this just win it. The smug gloating from Wire fans would be unbearable.
He's out long term, why else would they sign Smith.
It’s a grade 2 ligament tear he’s still 2/3 weeks away from playing, he defo won’t play Saturday, he’ll be back for the play offs I believe . The injury is a lot worse than first feared.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Warrington name an extra forward such as Currie or Livett at 6.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
There are still plenty of bookmakers offering odds on Blake Austin winning the Lance Todd tomorrow. Whether it’s laziness and a lack of knowledge or they’re just as suspicious as we are, who knows?
