With all the talent burning through that place, and they keep signing fringe first graders that are solid at best. Dont get me wrong, you need these sort of players in your sytem, but they are letting quality players go to sign these guys, and blocking pathways.
Does anyone think Blake (or J wright or M Allwood) is in the same league as Fiisiari, Kevin Locke or Brad Abbey or any number of other blokes they have let go without a fight. Something is amiss thre.
They have potentially a lethal side next year, but dont see how these signings help them.
Two possibilities I reckon:
1) He's going for peanuts and is genuinely just a reggies/depth if really necessary signing they think will bring a bit of experience and professionalism to their fringe setup.
2) The culture over there sucks so badly that they're now prepared to sacrifice wads of talent for anyone who maximises the (much smaller) talent they have.
I'd say it's last chance saloon for Blake. Outside of the nines, he's done little since going to the Sharks.
