Loved his one on one steal. Every run of his was powerful with terrific post contact metres. Another try.

He's easily our best centre and if hr keeps playing like this he certainly won't go unnoticed by other teams fans for long.

He's scored a try in every game since his return from injury. what a beast

Is it just me or does he also look like he has gained some more size in his upper body whilst he was out with his ankle injury? He looks absolutely massive.

It's it fascinating: Blake being hailed n all.

I can remember well back in 15 and 16 some calling for Blake's head. (some of the stuff written was

withering and very nasty)

I wonder if it's the same folks hailing him now ?

He was huge for the Mansour try as well. Ridiculous bit of skill.

He hasn't lost any of his superpowers in his time off. Praise be the god of the Nepean.

that offload was insane, not to mention it hit Mansour right where he wanted it (most offloads can go anywhere when thrown)

2 years ago, Waqa doesn't make that offload nor does he catch that ball that Cleary gave him for his try.

witnessing the immortal making come into his own :p

He was rocks and diamonds for years. I doubt anyone here enjoyed seeing the rocks, but they were there.

He's almost all diamonds now. That makes us all happy but particularly those who thought he was always all diamonds. They're crowing.

Point is he deserved some criticism in those years. He was a flawed player. I can't imagine anyone ever doubting his talent. No one failed to acknowledged he had upsides.

Why try to start some bullshit when we're all in a thread loving how well a player is going?

So everyone can snuggle in and forgot about what was said about and towards Blake in the not so recent past.

I'm sorry but it needed to be said.


You can't pretend those words were not written or said.

What words? That he played like crap on occasion years ago? Why does it matter? Was it not true? That he's a better player now than in 2015 is fantastic. I'm happy for him, our club and the staff that helped nurture him into the player he has become. It's something every person on this forum is happy about.

It's a good news story. You seem to just want to start a fight. Don't have a whinge next you end up getting one.

So it's OK (if fact even encouraged) for some of you 'to have a whinge' as you put it age.s.

But when some 'uncomfortable' truths are brought u, Oh my goodness.

The level of hypocrisy amongst some of here never ceases to amaze me.

Why does it need ro be said? You've given it to those you see as negative and now people are being too positive.

He has been our best centre since 2016.

He was poor in his rookie 2015 season much like Crichton. Great promise early on but wasn't ready for a full season of NRL which we required from him due to injury.

What's your issue? That prople are happy to change their minds when a player does a good job? That's f**king ridiculous.

Agree 100%

You're desperate for people to be positive about this club, so you come into a thread where people are overwhelmingly positive about a player and argue that the same people you want to be positive are not allowed to do so because of some vague complaint about past negativity. None of which is referenced of course.

Amazing. No wonder the forum atmosphere is in the gutter atm.

Complain all you like about what I've mentioned.

I suggest that those complaining the loudest are those who are feeling just a little guilt for some of the

poo that was thrown his way as he was developing (and yes being rocks and diamonds)
I will leave it here.

So maybe next time when you come out all guns blazing against a player (or even a coach)

that they are someone's son, father, brother, husband, and someone's friend.
