Round 23 | v Eels | Parramatta Stadium | Sat Aug 11 5:30pm

[Cliffhanger]

Blair has been exposed for a soft defender in every match he played this season, your own fans acknowledged it in this thread.

I'm stoked Blair is gone, with all the crap players we've insisted on keeping at least we got it right by releasing him.

f**k off and enjoy your wooden spoon troll!

Blair happy to get one over the Roosters

Outspoken Parramatta rookie Cheyse Blair has declared his one-man war with the Sydney Roosters won following the Eels' 36-22 NRL victory on Saturday.
Blair baited his former teammates in the lead-up to the round 23 fixture, claiming he was going to shove it in their face for cutting him at the end of last season without playing an NRL game for the club.
The Parramatta centre backed up his strong words with a solid performance for the Eels in scoring a try and having another disallowed in the sometime spiteful affair.
"I think they were all out to get me for what I said, it was great to get the win," he said.
"The first few tackles the boys were giving it to me. A few of the boys ran from the other side of the field just to whack me.
"I'm definitely happy, sometimes you can say that sort of stuff and it can come back to bite you on the arse, but I'm happy with my performance and I'm happy for the boys.
"I loved it over in Bondi, a good group of boys, I still speak to a few of them, but I got the opportunity over here and I'm making the most of it."
At one stage Blair tussled with an angry Martin Kennedy on the Parramatta Stadium turf but he insisted there was no ill feeling between him and the Roosters prop.
Blair has played 19 of the Eels' 21 games this year and said he was looking forward to building on that under new coach Ricky Stuart.
"This season hasn't been too good but we have something to look forward to with (caretaker coach) Brad (Arthur) at the moment and we have Sticky next year so hopefully I can hold my spot and keep playing good footy. It's really exciting."

Cheyse (bogan spelling alert) Blair has some good and some bad in his game.

He does some great things in attack but is still young and gets caught out in defence. I'm not sure if his shortcomings in defence are a case of a lack of ability, a lack of commitment or just that he is more used to playing centre instead of wing or vice versa.

I've seen him play on a few occasions this season and his ability has been evident.

However, his attitude at the Roosters was lacking and we cut him. This is probably a blessing for him (and Parramatta) as getting cut and told you're no good can often be a wake up call. But the truth is he wasn't a good fit at Easts and we had other options that were trying harder.

In a world where the salary cap is king keeping a player who is disrespecting himself, his team mates and the club by carrying on like a pork chop when he's done nothing just isn't going to happen.

Our loss may be Parramatta's gain, but retaining his services would most likely have been our greater loss. Sometimes you play the cards you're dealt.

How is it our loss? Would you have rather us lose Moga or SKD?
