Adam Blair

Anyone know if we are looking at or any chance of getting Adam Blair? I just read that Canterbury have signed Eastwood and also have Blair in their sites. All the signings I've seen so far are cheap no frills players who I find rather uninspiring. Why aren't we being linked to quality players like Adam Blair? He is a proven big game player and would be approaching his prime. I would think being a Storm player and Kiwi international Stephen Kearney would be pretty close to him as well.
It would ease the pain surrounding the dumb decision to let go of Feleti Mateo. Anyone have any inside news on this?

  • We have poore, Fui, mannah, shack, hindy, Ben smith, horo already here.

    I'm not sure that we need more in this department because we have signed depth in Webb and matuia and then have lasalo, tee mari and some youngsters getting ready. With McGuire also signed to assist Mitchell and mk, I'd just want a half.  
  • I was hoping to get this kid .. But then I realised sometimes he can play dirty ..
  • remember he ripped cayless's arm/chest ?
  • Blair is a Grub not an Eel.....
  • I would like to have Blair as an Eel... I guess if we sign SK then Blair might follow.... time will tell
  • That was Brett White who did that - if you're referring to the incident in the Prelim final in 07.
  • no way in hell, we need to spend whats left on a good/ half descent half we already have enough good second rowers
  • I posted a blog earlier about Blair. It was reported that he wanted a payrise but the Storm told him to find another club because they couldn't upgrade his contract. It was reported that his manager immediately shopped Blair to both the eels and mutts. What's happened since then with the negotiations, I am not sure but I hope we get him because he us 25 years old and also the bice captain of the kiwi's. A very good solid player. Also he was on 200K with the storm. Who knows maybe Kearney would bring him with Cronk as well. Here's hoping lol.
  • i though he signed with someone already?

"Randy,  An interesting one.
I suppose coaches trust certain players or believe they're the best fit for the team, even if club form or a high minute count aren't there.
I'd choose you for x-factor even if you only had 5 minutes of form."

"Hoe, I dislike the idea that a player can be selected for Aust with only 480 club minutes on show...and not all of them good. How can he have form without playing?
Perhaps a rule that said 10 nrl games to be eligible for Aust would help everyone"
