@GNR4LIFE said:Its a shame, the last yr and a half he's been faultless. His legacy here will go down as a player that people expected way too much from cos of his paycheck. The reality is yes, he was over payed, but whose feet does the blame fall at over that. him, or the goose who signed him. People expected way too much from him cos of that, they expected nothing less than for him to be a clone of Burgess, but he's nowhere near that kind of player, yet people whinged.
At the end of the day, he missed 1 game in 3 yrs, and that one game was through suspension. Not a bad effort for a guy who supposedly never had a go, and during long of periods of players dropping like flies around him, yet he was always there. He'll never get credit for that though, its just easier for people to take cheap shots cos thats what everyone else does. The majority of fans will always be sheep when it comes to Blair, bash him cos its the popular thing to do, and never acknowledge his good points.
Thanks for your service Adam. I bet he's jumping out of his skin to play under Bennett. Bennett rates him, so when it comes to Bennett and a bunch of jaded, tunnel visioned supporters, i know whose opinion carries more weight.

@Roosterman said:as much as this is a kick in the teeth id advise you to hang in there for the counter to this release….**surely you wouldn't let him walk away without a plan.**

@tigertye said:The thing that I don't understand is this;
If we aren't signing anyone else for the 2015 season, why are we releasing Blair in the final year of his contract? Would it not be more beneficial for the Tigers to keep him for next season, then just not resign him for 2016?
I don't know the ins and outs of the salary cap, but I really don't get why we would release a solid senior player to relieve salary cap pressure, when we're not actually relieving the pressure for anyone for the foreseeable future.
I hope the recruitment team has things in order because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

@THE POM said:Blair leaving had nothing to do with Money I know for fact he's taken less to go to Brisbane.
@the third said:So we have people with a corporate background running the club now. I'm guessing they have a plan, but they are treating us like mushrooms so who really knows?
If they don't have a plan they will quickly find out that securing a sponsorship for a losing team with zero ability to compete is not an easy fix and is ongoing for a few years. Don't even talk about membership numbers…
They might also figure out that the young guys are injury prone and you might actually hurt the young players that are basing the future on.
Any successful club is based on winning. I'm struggling to see any wins since about round 6\. Blair leaving is not the worst thing in the world but we need a real win soon

True and you and I both know the reasons he is leaving but to be fair part of the reason he is leaving may still have a positive influence on this team.I believe he will.
