Hopefully Blair has a blinder next year. Give him the benefit , but if he doesn't perform fans will come down on him like a tone of bricks.

You're right about Gareth, he played well from day one. Although, that was mainly in defence, and his tackling technique is the best in the world IMO. In attack he didn't do much but bash it up, it took a year before he scored a few tries.

I posted elsewhere that it took Greg Inglis a year to be worth his pay check at Souths. And Blair did better than Sandow at least! I think he'll come good (but I still don't think he'll be worth Gibbs plus Fafita.)

We can all rest assured that its not sheens style or indeed the tigers style that makes Blair bad. He is just a horrible footballer.

I thought he had a good game tonight and proved he can be a top footballer he was in alot of hit ups and defended well.

Showed his form from the NZ bench…a waste of time..
I have not been a fan of Blair since before he signed with us. I have bagged him everytime I can.
He is not up to it and no matter what all people say writing him up for next year, forget it .....

I'd be more impressed if he stood up and said I have no excuse, but I promise 100% commitment to a turn around next year… But nope just more "reasons".. ie excuses. EVERYONE should be on notice next year, u don't perform, u get a week or two in the jnrs. I for one am glad Benjis bum chums are either gone or gettin ready for an ass kickin... I don't earn anywhere near 500k, but I'm expected to perform my duties in a professional manor, why can't these muppets..?

There's nothing else to say about that oxygen thief. Dud buy of the decade.

Thought he had an ok game. But this is the problem, any backrower on 350k plus a year has to produce an Ellis,Thaiday,Watmough,Gallen type game EVERY week. The money were paying him should be reserved for a 6,7 or 9\. I don't know why we were so keen to sign him.

The annoying thing is his first hit up he didn't hit and spin and he made a half break and looked dangerous

Just makes you wonder though , the only way NZ were going to beat us was with heaps of second phase so no doubt Kearney would of been wanting players to hit and spin

Maybe the issue is the way he is being coached

I hope our new coach lets him use his footwork at the line and try and create second phase that way especially with Teddy sitting off his hip

Forgot to add he played tighter last night which seemed to help him ,not wide off the ruck

When I see Blair with at least 10 kilos or so added then I will make judgment . Adam immediately requires extra weight as last night beyond a doubt proved .. has the ability but needs more strength and weight .
