Blair

[madunit]

Tigers missed a whopping 58 tackles today. Roosters missed 40 which is also too high.

but 58 missed tackles. And lets look where they all are.
Blair - 8
Marshall - 7
Woods, Ayshford, Lawrence, Humble - 5
Galloway, Heighington, Murdoch-Masila - 4

All in and around the middle - 47 missed tackles by that group, two of them coming from off the bench.

This has been an issue for us all year, we've had to constantly rely on Fulton and Bell in cover defence to continually save our arses. No Fulton and our defensive line was completely non-existant.

We also had 7 players make over 100 metres today. 6 of them were backs. Woods was the only forward.

When will Galloway step up and try and match Woods efforts, he is a test and origin player after all, he really needs to start showing it far more often. He was starting to and then he died in the arse again.

Woods had 14 hitups, miles ahead of anyone else.
Galloway and Heighington had 7 hitups each
Tuqiri with 5
Moors with 3
Utai and Blair with 2 hit ups. Blair with 2 f**king hit ups!!!
Lawrence, Bell and Reddy all had 1.

Woods had 14 hit ups, the other 16 players had 29 hit ups.

He's a kid ffs, he can't keep carrying our pack of f**king pillows all year long. He played 65 minutes today, Bell played 44.

I fear if our other forwards don't start doing some f**king hard, basic honest work, Woods will get injured/burnt out and we'll be well and truly f**ked.

the stats im looking at on fox sports have BMM missing 7 tackles.. that is also appauling for the time spent on field

also says woods with 20 hitups.. blair made 7 hitups not sure where you got 2 from.. think yours a bit off

 

[madunit]

mine are from nrlstats, thats the official data from my knowledge.

nrlstats has blair at 7 hitups too

 

[leoc]

I thought he'd work out but sadly I am coming to the realisation that he looked good in a dominant Storm team and he just isn't up to it.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

I thought that Lote and Utai were our best forwards today.
Both sides looked like rabble, the Roosters just did a few basic things right.

 

[Tiger05]

BMM was terrible today. He is a great runner of the footy - I think our most damaging runner on the forwards however his defence is poor.

 

[madunit]

Nrlstats has 7 runs, including 2 hit ups

 

[Radical Rat]

It was a horror performance. The best we can do is wipe our hands of it and get ready for the Knights, because if we lose that game then it is a massive worry.

Let's just hope yesterday was due to the circumstances. It's not a good sign when several players are crying 20 seconds before kick off.

Blair is an absolute piece of shit. He knows he has to perform, he was meant to be a replacement of two of our most consistant forwards. We should never have let Gibbs go for this disgrace of a foward. 7 runs for 51 metres is disgusting. It could only be excused if he was atleast good at defence, but he missed 8 f**king tackles. He is an absolute joke and should be sold now.

 

[hutch]

Junior moors is not first grade standard either. Probably why we signed the cashman.

 

[gronkathon]

He and Ioseffa were disgraceful in defence, they often watched guys go past them

 

[madunit]

Blair can't really be afforded the excuse of other players (the loss of Farah's mother) as he's been here for f**k all time.

He has never had a more golden opportunity to put his hand and lead from the front. It was gift wrapped and handed to him with a full list of instructions.

And he opted to dog it instead.

I'm sick of this bloke, I now dislike him being in the Tigers side more than Moltzen and Fitzy and J Mo at halfback all combined.

Fitzy and J Mo played their guts out to the best of their abilities, Moltzen has talent, just takes him 3 months to show it.

Blair has tonnes of ability and talent and is on more coin than anyone else in the team and is playing worse than NSW Cup players.

I'd have Groat back in Blairs spot in a heartbeat.

f**king thieving hack.

 

[Johns Magic]

It was always going to end badly when the figure being touted was 500K.

A bizarre signing, the guy has been a plodder living off reputation and the Storm's dominance for years.

 

[T.T]

maybe its not the lack of effort. im doubting whether he has much talent at all to be honest..

 

[Fast Eddie]

Well you haven't watched many Test matches then.

 

[moller]

I thought he'd been one of our best over the last month, but he was horrendous yesterday.
He had company in that department obviously, one of the weakest performances I've seen from us in a long time. Would be harsh to overly judge them though given the circumstances, as well as coming off 7 in a row (and 1 try conceded in two games). Just need to make sure they react accordingly this week in preparation for Monday night. A strong win up there will set us up nicely going into the bye and the run home.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Four years of this sleazy farkwit remaining. That's heartbreaking.

Someone needs to shorten this farkwit up and tell him to start pulling his weight.
He should be ashamed to wear a Tigers jumper the gutless c#nt.

 

[rex2ce]

When Blair occasionally takes the ball up , he stops when he reaches the defence, does not appear intent on breaking the line. Regardless of the money he is on ,its not acceptable for a first grader not to try and run through the defence

 

[Hooch]

He was woefully out of form for the entire year when the contract kept negotiating itself up... nothings changed.

I thought Tigs would stall or hesistate at such a sustained drop in form... but no.

Good luck with it, he is a long way from his best. He's got f**k all incentive to get back there now too.

Massive lemon.
