Underperforming Wests Tigers big man Adam Blair told to look for another club
ADAM Blair's future at the Wests Tigers is again under the spotlight with the besieged club shopping the $600,000 a year player to rival clubs.
With the Tigers horror season over after last nights match against the Cowboys in North Queensland, the Sunday Telegraph can reveal two interstate clubs have been approached about the possibility of signing Blair.
Blair has been the source of constant speculation since being recruited from premiership powerhouse the Storm with the 106kg forward widely criticised for failing to live up to his price tag.
Among those to slam the Kiwi international was Gordon Tallis, who accused Blair of not trying after a Tigers capitulation to the Sharks.
Blair has been linked to several rival clubs since joining the Tigers in 2012 and his future at Leichardt beyond this year is again in doubt with sections of the divided club looking to find him a new home.
The prospect of Blair being released by the club was first raised in May when Blair was linked to a Melbourne return with club sources confirming they would not stand in his way.
Blair is two years into a four-year contract reported to be worth as much as $600,000 a year.
Blairs high salary and failure to stop the Wests Tigers from finishing the season only in front of the wooden spoon winning Eels again has the club considering his future in the black of gold.
The ball however is firmly in Blairs court with the premiership-winning player having his four-year deal as a safety net.
While his form at the start of the year had him touted as one of the games worst ever signings, Blair, to his credit, has improved in the second half of the season with a switch from the edge to the middle prompting an increased workload.
