Or we could take him on board and be confident in in our ability to create a club as strong as the Storm.

The "Storm System" is Bellamy, Slater, Cronk and Smith. You can be as positive as you like, we dont have any of them.

Only a fool would suggest that we currently have a nucleus of world class players.

I have highlighted an important word in my original post. If Ricky didn't think he could eventually create a world class system of his own at Parramatta then he wouldn't be in the job.

So if we have established that this is likely to be his mindset then it is not a stretch to suggest that Ricky might be confident that could get something out of a player like Blair within the next few years.

Adam Blair for 350k would be awesome.

x 2!!

Dont have much time for him at the tigers but they are using him as a prop and he's playing big minutes. In the back row he could keep the same game time or use him as a prop more sparingly.

I think he would compliment the pack already signed for next year, the change (for him) from being a perceived money muncher at his current club and the price we should be able to pick him up for are 3 big positives.

He would be a good 1 year signing while you guys identified a replacement and bring him along off the bench.

Thats the only way I would be contented with Blair signing. For the life of me can't understand why the Tigers are playing him in the middle third of the field.

If Blair is cheap, I'd take him. If he doesn't pan out then you can dump him to Wenty and it's no huge loss, but if he can produce his best then it's a massive upside.

One thing is for sure with all these players potentially leaving we need some experience to show the youngsters particularly the forwards the way.'

he would need to revised his salary expectations not only today but for any upgrade. if he's expecting to be a 500k+ player if he hits half decent form, then he can f**k off before he even starts

Just got a text from my good mate Tim Mannah saying he need's me in the stands tonight to show me what the jersey means to them. Probably not a lot to the ones who have rightly been told to f*ck off id imagine. i back the club and ricky with what they have done, but is it going to be a massacre tonight off the back of this? Or was it always going to be a massacre anyway?

An explosive intense in your face coach like Stuart would be on par with Craig Bellamy so I'd say that Blair would be a very suitable option for our forward pack moving forward next year, possibly even this year. Blair should thrive off Ricky's aggression. Have heard a rumour from a mate involved with the Tigers that they will cover around $200/$250k of his package for 2014 and all of it for this remaining year. Apparently they are keen to let him go. Come on board Adam Blair you f**king merkin. We can do with your "attitude" or was it just Bellamy's agro-attitude rubbed off on you.

We all know Blair is a great player, he just looks like he's been playing with no heart, get the mongrel back in him and he will go alright

I got the same text from Tim Mannah. I dare say they are expecting a very low crowd turnout tonight and are trying to drum up some numbers so the Club doesnt look bad to potential sponsors on free to air TV.

season ticket holders get a message before every home game, no difference for this game :?

Im not a season ticket holder nor even just a member... I think I signed up to receive stuff from the website last year sometime. Only time they have ever got my details and this is the first time I have ever got a text from the Club
