Tigers to sign Blair

Gallen proved on Wednesday that the number on the back makes no difference.

Incidentally, Benji and Prince have also proved this, as both have always played more of a combined 5/8 / half game.

Perhaps some should consider that the traditional roles in league are becoming blurred.

This began with the disappearance of the traditional lock.

Now we have halves (1,6,7 and 9), forwards and outside backs.

The positions are largely interchangeable.

To say Ellis cane play at prop is like saying Petro cant play in the back row.

Of course Ellis can play at prop - just as Bronson Harrison was played at prop. The question is where does he play best.

DanOz - my point is -

Your either a running forward or a ball playing forward -

and whether you have an 8 or a 12 on your back makes no real difference.

I don't agree. Ellis running the ball through the middle in traffic or Ellis running the ball at their play makers on the flanks is a huge difference.

Danoz - they are just lines -

Mate - it doesnt matter what numbers they have on their back -

And since when does Sheens allow ANY of our forwards to run on the flanks????

I'm guessing that Blair has been waiting until after the storm vs tigers game to make his announcement...

Or till some of the squad are a little less emotional about the whole deal.
Fifita seemed pretty peeved in todays paper that he and Gibbs were making make way for Blair.
Should make for an interesting afternoon.
