Adam Blair

[myrrh ken]

Well I guess the "unnoticed" part is still true at Warriors.

I've never seen a player get overpaid while delivering nothing for as long as Blair has been doing it. World class

Blair, Proctor, Harris, McLean etc you rarely see a forward get better after leaving the Storm!

Playing for Melbourne definitely seems to make otherwise average joes seem great. Proud that Chambers gets called up for Origin but no idea why... heart is in my mouth every time he has to catch a pass.

And to think I was disappointed when Blair's departure was announced years ago...

The funniest thing last night was when someone put up a mid-field bomb, he doesn't even try to catch it - just knocks it on as if that's the result he wanted.

I'm surprised by his stats, I noticed Blair made a bunch of important tackles on the line and thought he was having one of his better games.

Obviously the numbers say otherwise.

I actually thought he was pretty good for Brisbane. The Broncos relied heavily on his offloads and quick play the balls to initiate their set-plays and he was producing in the effort areas. He went off the boil in his final season at the club, especially around the time he was being shopped around.

Tonight:

80 minutes
1 run
13 meters
1 try

I actually think I’m impressed

Is this for real?!!
I mean yeah I never noticed the bludger but come on.. really ?!!! What a merkin

 

[Artiste]

The Stewart boys outta try take his head off again

 

[AJB1102]

He's made about 40 runs for 300m total this year.

 

[LineBall]

Quality, not quantity.

 

[Bazal]

That's rubbish attacking output but he did make 47 tackles. That's far from sloppy.

He's always been overrated. Solid at best, never been a consistently hard working attacking player, but he does a lot off the ball and usually makes a lot of tackles. He's basically turned into later years Beau Scott except not as good a leader.

Even with those 47 tackles he missed 5, though.

 

[AJB1102]

Had 4 possessions: scored off 1, passed twice and knocked on.

He should be making 80 tackles with that offensive load.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

To be fair even when Adam Blair came to us and had his best season since his Melbourne years he wasn't making bulk metres, he's more the guy who does the unnoticed things like kick pressure, decoy runs, etc

I know he was good for you guys, but we need much more than kick pressure, decoy runs and whatever other smoke, mirror and BS (no offense, I'm not going at you) caused us to pay $650-700k a year for the anti Forrest Gump.

Maybe that should be a sign at our next home game. RUN ADAM, RUN

Roosters fans will remember the day we played the Warriors in NZ and Braith Anasta from the back row finished the game with 0 runs for 0 metres.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I miss when we had Simon Mannering who’d smash out 45 tackles and 120m every damn game.

Roosters fans will remember the day we played the Warriors in NZ and Braith Anasta from the back row finished the game with 0 runs for 0 metres.

And to think the Tigers chased and paid good money for both Anasta and Blair.
Gosh I love my club...

Was one of braiths better games then.

 

[lazza]

But how many tackles with choke holds, knee twists and cannonballs?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

But how many tackles with choke holds, knee twists and cannonballs?

About 15 of each per game

What game was that?
