Adam Blair was the best forward in the world at the time.
Before we got him he was an unbelievable player

Google his first game for them against the sharks - under the heading “teddy Blair” from memory - 1 run 8m…
It’s funny everyone bangs on about he was the best back rower in the game etc at the time, and we destroyed him and all that - he was considered behind Thaiday and Ellis in the couple years prior.
Usually the best anyone in the world wins the dally m for it - I don’t know he ever did
Adam Blair sucks and Brooks is the best !?
LOL some of these debates are insane on here.
Brooks, halfback of the year 2019.
Adam Blair won grand finals and represented his country multiple times.
Yeah, he sucked at the Tigers but to deny his prior and post form is laughable.
Mate we are drilling for oil.

Sheens for the premiership run had no money as the club couldn’t spend to the cap but still recruited well, 06 & 10 he did other big drives also.
Hodgo - nsw fullback before he joined us
Richards
Whaturia
Elford
Prince
Benji
Payten
Heighno
Mixed with a bunch of juniors he blooded and older heads
8 of the 17 he recruited externally within his 1st 2yrs.
2006
- o’hara, moodie, galloway, Tuiaki, Flanno, Lolesi
2007
- nil
2008
- head
2009
- Ellis,
2010
- cayless, brown, mckinnon, tuqiri, meaney
2011
- utai
During that time youth & player retention was the focus. Sheens would debut a bunch of players each year as well.

Moodie was 04'. He joined with Prince, Elford, Scatter, Payten, Richards, Reynolds, Graham and Hodgson.
We only had to win one of the last 3 games to make the finals that season but it was a classic Tigers capitulation.

Just like when Brooks wins dally m halfback of the year it means he’s the best halfback in the world 😂

so true, before and after, he just couldn’t adapt to our rubbish, his rubbish was different

the Blair project probably sent a bad message that’s seems to be lasting forever in haunting our recruitment

Also, off the top of my head, our 2006 recruitment drive included Slammin Sam Harris, 2007, Danny Galea and Morris (our Cronk), 2008, Payne and 2010, Daniela.

In the Melbourne system. Back then clubs didn't know any better, that about half of the Storm players cannot perform outside of Melbourne, like a fish out of water.

I can’t see Ice being a Blair. He’s only 23-24, we’ll be getting him at his peak. He’s shown some dickish behaviour the last couple weeks, but that will all be forgotten once he gets here.
