Wanker Blake would make our dumbest ever Eels team. He's a walking brain fart.
He got exposed and is definitely a mental weak link. I can’t wait to see the back of him.

Funny how he is off contract at the end of season and nobody has mentioned him at any other club. Everyone knows that he is an overpaid hack.

Once you're exposed as someone that simply can't catch a high ball, then your top level career as a winger or fullback is essentially over.

It comes down to does he have the defensive game to be in our first choice centre pairing... given Opacic departed as has not been replaced, then Blake might be "lucky" to retain that spot this season - whether that is lucky for us as a club is another matter.

But hopefully he's willing to do a few years in England (with the club possibly helping him to leave early if he's a liability), otherwise his NRL 2024 options are looking pretty week.

Which all says absolutely nothing to correct your error in claiming the club hadn't preferred Blake at centre over Opacic, when they did do this in Round 1. That was the point being made... and your contributions (as usual) are pure fluff.
Well they preferred him in round one just like they preferred Simonsson. Opacic wasn’t especially good in 2021. By round 20 they preferred Opacic to Simonsson. At his best Blake is a difference maker, unlike the other two, and players can find form in any given game. That’s why Blake kept getting picked. Meanwhile Opacic is off to the UK.

I hate reading comments like this. Like who TF are you to call a guy a wanker online publicly. Would you say that to his face?

Don’t be a f**king tool.

be critical of his performance, but name calling is pathetic and childish.

Grow up
lol ok Mrs Blake.


His performance for this club his entire time here on the whole has been pathetic, he's a f**king cap thief. You don't like what i call him put me on ignore with the other sooks but don't you tell me what i can and can't say on an internet forum. Talk about taking this place a little too serious, grow up indeed.

I must see things different to most people because I would rather have Waqa Blake on my side than against. He has size, speed and, in my opinion, will win you a game before costing you a win. But hey, that's just my opinion.....
I'm sure Penrith feel the same way lol, he's won 1 game for us in his time here but cost us countless of others. His most memorable game was the first Semi final against Penrith where he singlehandedly gave them that game with about 8 errors. For a bloke who has played as much grade as him he shouldn't be as clueless as he is.

So you agree the club did select Blake in the centres ahead of Opacic in Round 1... contrary to what you waffled about in your first reply disputing that?

I don’t know why you’re so hung up over round one. In our first game this year Simonsson played wIng with Blake at centre. By the grand final they had swapped. Things change.

Opacic didn't show enough to be in the team for round one. I don't remember anyone demanding we re-sign him when he was off contract in November 2021. Why should he suddenly be a top 17 certainty in round one 2022? It's like you think his form in round 20 was evident in the pre-season. This is just you knowing everything in hindsight, yet again.
