Shawn Blore #235

id be having blore on the bench over eiso and taylor any day of the week. ones a log and the other is a free six again machine.

After the performance of some of our forwards this week you’d think he’s a chance for next week.

Saving him for Slimeys and Pussy Brown.

I reckon the Slimeys are biggest tanking / diving / con-men / fakers .. team in the comp. They will stay down grabbing the head in just about every tackle .. which forces the bunker to review the tackle and if there is any part of the oppositions body near a Slimey's head .. a penalty is awarded to them .. !! Then once the penalty is awarded to them, they bounce up straight away and start smiling and laughing .. !!

Sivo is a shocker for it. Always holding his head or his neck after a tackle.

Hope some good conversations are being had with Blore behind the scenes, hate to think he'll grow impatient.

I have a feeling he is being groomed for a big season next year

Well I hope anyway

They rave on about Sivo and his deeds of strength at training, but come game day, a little tap keeps him down for the trainer to come on and get a penalty, it's a joke

My opinion on this is that Blore is a much more dynamic player than Eiso & Taylor, but at the moment Blore is good for about 5mins of high impact performance and then he is completely gassed and a passenger.

Whilst Eiso & Taylor dont hit in defence or attack like Blore, they are atleast capable of churning out a lot of work in tackles and hit ups.

Is Shawn signed for next year?

Signed until the end of 2021 season.

Shawn is not quite there yet in terms of fitness. I'm sure the backroom staff are getting him primed for a huge season next year. I fully expect him to be in our starting 13 first game in 2021.

He is returning from a serious injury, ACL injury i think, so the Club is wise to take it slowly with Shawn. Strong off season and he will make a big mark in season 2021.

I agree with what you say but the weird bit is that on his debut against Parra he played 46 minutes ~ and to give him due credit, they were strong minutes. He then played 18 minutes against the Warriors.

I would have thought he may even built his game time from there or at least maintained it? He is not playing at all anymore and no report of injury? Seems a bit odd to me.

I don't think he is 20yo yet, his body wouldn't be up to fulltime NRL, he is being along OK IMO.

 

[Vince Farrar]

He’s contracted till the end of 2021 so that means other clubs can approach him in November? I’m a bit nervous 😬

 

[iofthetigers]

coming off an ACL injury I think they're just trying to dip his toes in, before having a big pre season and hopefully locking in a spot on the right edge. think he's looked gassed a few times in recent weeks and Madge is managing his workload.

Watching Blore move during games, he looks like he is restricted or staying within himself which is understandable as they generally take from the hamstring to repair the ACL. I can’t wait to see him after a preseason finally it looks like we have a replacement for Gareth Ellis.

 

[TonyTiger]

I love the combination of Blore and McIntyre in the 2nd row, they are both budding enforcers and give us that aggression that the big teams have.
Get an off-season under this pair to develop their bulk and look out!
I hope we can fit McIntyre in our Cap, it’s shrinking with offers to JAC and Tamou so a back ended deal may be possible once the Shelf ‘Packer’ is extinguished.
I bet Madge regrets extending Chee Kam - when you compare the upside of Blore and McIntyre to Chee Kam, happy for a 15 minute cameo appearance per game which can’t come quick enough so he can cuddle the opposition at full time.

 

[Spartan117]

Blore, Musgrove, Twal, Mikhale, Twal, Stefano

That's a decent rotation of big men in 2021

 

[Madge]

Does have a wrist injury.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Does have a wrist injury.

Any idea on severity/how long he will be out?

I have zero idea but I have had a few wrist injuries (cue poor jokes). He was at the trial and he had it strapped but it was just a bandage, not a brace or guard. To me that indicates its not that serious.

Especially when we have two Twals!:drooling_face:
