I think he made 29 tackles, the Roosters hooker made 62, and he was not in the first 7 with metres gained,the seventh highest made 93 or 95. So what is so special about this bloke? I have been watching him for 2 months and have failed to be impressed. I reckon this Joint Venture will be F---ed in 2 years if we are going to pay over rated players like Blair $500,000 a year.

I didn't see the game, but I think Easts would've had to defend a bit more than the Storm?
Is that $500k per season confirmed for Blair, or is it just paper talk?

hes a very good footballer when he's on...

it just doesn't seem like he's on his game enough.

one thing stats dont measure which he does well is his wrestle... hes probably one of the best wrestlers in the game... which is massive in this day and age of football.

of his 29 tackles... i would love to see an average amount of time the tackler was on the deck.

i dont know if he's worth 500K though...

And we are probably the WORST team in the comp by far when it comes to the wrestle.

I for one think he will be a great signing.

Adam also has a fair bit of ball playing ability. I see him as basically filling the same role Todd Payten has played for us over the last few years.

I agree, I have watched him for some time & was initially very impressed with him, but for some reason ever since he has been linked to WT he has gone quiet, maybe he is counting the $$$$$......whatever the reason, I think he will be a BIG plus....albeit at a BIG cost to WT, IE Fifita & Gibbs

I was going to post the same thing. You only have to look at how well our attack flows whay Paytens in the line, Blair i believe will offer the same thing as well as a dangerous ball runner, and he can offload too.

Lazy. He's best when he's running at defenders, too often he tries to ball play which doesn't show his true potential. He doesn't seem very motivated most of the time he's running.

People here weren't keen on Ellis either.

Yeah, that was a classic, people judging him before he came to club based on his stats while playing out of position (I believe he played 2008 in the centres for Leeds), in games they weren't even watching. Prior to the 2008 World Cup 95% of the people bagging the guy wouldn't have even recognised him if they walked past him in the street.

If we do get Blair, and he turns out as good as Ellis and Lote he'd be an incredible pick up.
