Blair

[benched tiger]

Giving new meaning to Sam Thaidays nickname '3rd man in'!

He is probably also on more money than all 4 Burgess brothers put together? How does that make you feel Tigers fans?

We should have got Noyce or Hammond to throw one up Benji's mum like Rusty did with the Burgess' eh. Think of the cap discounts

 

[JoeyFish]

drop him up maybe bring up Groat? Heard he has been alright this year since back

 

[deemac77]

Im not expecting his name to be read out at 4pm tomorrow.

No evidence, or quotes, so it could be rubbish.

But you can only hope.....

The Wests Tigers have told under-performing forward Adam Blair he can leave if he gets an offer.
Blair has been shopped around to rival clubs but his massive $500,000 a season contract is a major stumbling block.
The Tigers are prepared to pay some of his wage for next season, but haven’t been swamped by takers either here or in England.
Blair has acknowledged he needs to do more but I didn’t see any evidence of it against the South Sydney Rabbitohs. In fact, his performance was deplorable.

Sheenius strikes again, pay massive overs for a shit player that you can't give away and thus, are stuck with the lazy f**king piece of shit for another 2 and a half f**king seasons!

 

[hybrid_tiger]

We will still be left with a bill of $200K p.a even if he leaves. Nobody will pay more than $300K for him.

Combine that with the $400K we will be paying Sheens for next season and it means we will be spending $600K on Sheens and Blair for 2014 even though both would not be at the club. Laughable.

 

[madunit]

furthermore, it wouldn't free up any cap space for us, so we'd have to rely on some of the kids coming through this year to step up massively.

I reckon Blair is a bench player. Sheens stripped weight off him and is now an 80 minute player. He has no confidence. I'd be happy if we snared him off ya for 300k

This.

Bulk the f**ker up -sit him on the bench and use him as an impact player.

so simple really.

:lol:

That's what he was at Melbourne.

TBH would like the warriors to have a look at him, we need a change in the pack, and we still lack experience. He could come right with new scenery - his price tag has me 2nd guessing though.

 

[benched tiger]

Money aside I find it amazing that some fans from rival clubs would still want this dud!

They haven't been watching him not play every week.

 

[Magpies Forever]

Lets just say his recruitment for WT was entirely unsuitable both for the club and himself professionally. He does need to go elsewhere and try to recover the train wreck of his playing reputation. WT should actively encourage this exploration of other options.

 

[madunit]

That's what he was at Melbourne.

When he started his career, but he only played 18 games at prop for Melbourne the whole time he was there and only started from the bench 7 times in the 70 games he played from 2009-2011 at the Storm.

Rothfield's article in today's paper suggests he's the worst signing since Edmed in the SL years.
It also suggests we're still paying part of Ellis's contract - surely can't be right?

 

[madunit]

that has to be wrong. Ellis completed his contract here.

We'll be paying Gibbs contract for a few more years too. I think we upgraded him for 4 years a month before we released him. Real f**king intelligent.

 

[benched tiger]

I seriuosly doubt Rothfield's article concerning Ellis,he was granted a release due to family reasons only,the club did not want him to go !

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Ellis had one year left on his contract but he asked for a release, so surely we aren't paying him?
