Adam Blair To Broncos (CONFIRMED)

[Tigermama]

It's not rocket science guys.

To win a comp, you need skinny years and watershed years. Our best years are going to be in 2 or 3 when our juniors are at the peak of their game.

By releasing players, you can shift backloaded cap to this year and reduce it in the forward years when we are at this peak, maybe signing a couple more game breakers or getting solid depth for our title run.

We know we have issues in this area as happy mentioned tedescco was offered under his current salary for year 1\. Which means we must have had a hell of a lot of back loading.

Blair wasn't going to be the difference to us winning a premiership next year as we weren't going to come close.

JT is being smart. We will not only gain from shifting these payments forward but getting early experience into our juniors.

You never know with the young talent too…they might just outperform expectations. So the year won't be a write off.

I'm extremely happy with the decision. I think everyone will see in time it's part of a larger plan.

Absolutely right hammertime. Looking forward to 2015 and beyond :slight_smile:

exactly right, penrith and roosters both started their plans for long term success, and both found that success a lot earlier than expected.

2015 is not a right off, it's simply a stepping stone to even better things. But that doesn't mean the stepping stone has to be a top 8 or top 10 finish, it could be top 4 for all we know, if things go our way.

Just caught up with this thread and I don't want to join either side of the argument so if I just say that this forum is home to a number of precious old drama queens, you know what I mean.

If Blair's so crap why the hell is Bennett chasing him?
Sure we may have talented youth - we always have been blessed in that regard - but it doesn't stop us getting belted and players busted before their time, due to the team being undersized, underdone and overrated….

which is why theyve fired almost everyone in S&C, introduced a GM (phil moss), a new board not troubled by old prejudices and a new coach.

After cleaning out much of the squad in 2013, we've now done the same with the rest of the club.

Kind of funny actually, cleaning up the squad allowed us to go on a nice run at the start of 2014\. But eventually the rot from within seeped out and we went to crap. Hopefully next year the opposite happens and we go from strength to strength. :sign:

I am a big Wests Tigers fan so I dont want to "LEAK" anything that will be of detriment to the Wests Tigers.I dont use this site as a platform for me to beat my chest saying look at me look how smart I am.The Pom is another poster who is good at keepin his very knowledgable(inside knowledge) trap shut until stuff is finalised.Everytime we "LEAK'' we put another hole in the great ship that we want the Wests Tigers to be.If some people are sooooo offended cause someone truly knows something they should go and get a life.

Who's offended… the LEAKS are still getting out as you allude to knowing the Blair situation before it happened .....which is somewhat concerning.....

Whos offended?Not you but LCA was.Actually make of this what you will but I knew about 4 days ago but if you want to know something real funny(but true).I was told Blair was leaving for the Broncos about 2 weeks ago off a person I work with.At the time I said no way and I didnt believe it.He just came back from holidays and I met up with him tonight and he said see "I told you Blair was going to the Broncos".It was only then I remembered our convo from two weeks ago re Blair(since I dismissed it at the time thinking it was rubbish)and I said to myself shittteee he was right.This person I spoke to told me tonight his bloke is always on the money in addition to which this guy I spoke to has a brother in our NSW cup team(Not naming names) apart from his Blair source so It would make sense he knew.Now Geo I know this post will draw the attention of a "select few" but I can swear to you I was told Blair to broncos two weeks ago.So my question is Isnt it good that hardly anyone knew this for two weeks?re leaks etc.

 

[Jerry_Seinfeld]

You sound very sour and butthurt just cause I say the REAL reason Blair is leaving.Grow up crybaby.Why is it some people with inside knowledge who know the players pass on info and it seems to trigger whiny [automatically edited] posts from tantrum supporters.Not the majority just a select few like LCA post. :wtf

Where was this inside info last week….you know before he left...

That's right,Geo. we've ALL got inside info after the event lol

Your continual effort to draw me into argument on every thread you post on (all because I questioned Farah and his headspace during Pottergate)is ridiculous.Grow up.

I have a solution for you Jerry (if you like )

I have told Geo ( and others ) on the Forum stuff that I couldn't put out their because of the nature of the info and you can trust him , he has never leaked anything

So next time you get the inside goss on something , just PM Geo with it

Then when the story breaks and you say I knew this a week ago , Geo can confirm it

For someone who calls themselves jerry Seinfeld your not a very funny guy are you ? :frowning: Or do you call yourself this because your best friend is a short fat and bald guy named grant Mayer… I mean George costansa ? 😛

Delighted to read the news of Adam Blairs departure. Fully support JT and his team in rebuilding the club. At least we know he is capable of making some hard decisions and is thinking about plans for the future. Something his predecessors may have done better.
Can't wait to see the club gives some of the promising young talent a go from the lower grades and any other kid looking for a go from the bush.
For mine, Adam Blair will go down as one of this clubs worst ever signings.

Good one Happy…I doubt Jerry will take you up on the offer as he has little or no knowledge about what is happening inside the club.

Not too many upset in Tiger town about Blair leaving. Ohh wasn't Blair going to be our next captain according to Jerry ?

O.K. jerry i was told on monday by someone at the club that SKD AND FPN had been looking around the club and had been at a training session, can u confirm this as been true, not sure i believe the person who told me.

Next captain no but what I did say is that Blair was a good leader of men AWAY from the field.Interesting that he was rated sooo highly by two of the best coaches in the game in Bennett and Bellamy and another one named potter who was chased out of the club by those from within who leak and try to big note themselves consistently and have egos who far outweigh their standing.For your viewing pleasure. :sign:

Big opportunity for Sue to take his game and reputation to the next level this year. I thought he was good in the World Cup and the 4 Nations but was a little off for the Tigers this year (albeit in a disrupted year for him and the team). He's solid and getting bigger and his first contact in defense is usually very aggressive.
