Shawn Blore #235

re-watching that....by the 3rd hit up all the heart had disappeared from Brown's hit ups......hahahaha
 
Keen to see him play some second row on that right edge. If his line running is his strength he should go well next to Benji
 
What I noticed last night was how fit and switched on Blore was to Stefano . The difference how Madge presented Blore to how Stefano was presented by Arthur slow , non aggressive so hopefully a very different player with an off season under Madge .

I love a good square up! Reminds me when Dane Laurie and Fui Fui went at it...about the only good thing Laurie ever did.

Blore owned him, and because he fiend injury Brown now looks like a goose.
 
Blore roars in tough Tigers debut after blue with Brown

Blore was involved in a running battle with Nathan Brown and not only stood his ground but arguably had the better of the far more experienced and battle-hardened Eel. "I'm just honoured he even wanted to have an argument with me!" Blore laughed after the game. "Nathan Brown is one of the toughest players to walk on the field. "Once he did that, it lit a fire. I'm honoured he even wanted to run it straight at me. "I went up to him and shook his hand after the game. It was fun."I knew he was coming at me. I knew I put in the work so physical the contact would have been there. I just had to put my body behind him and what happened, happened."

After one incident in which Brown took exception to a hit from Blore, the Parramatta veteran took the next carry and veered straight at the 19-year-old. Blore stood his ground and stopped Brown in his tracks. "I thought he was going to get a short ball, I kind of hit him, he didn't get the ball, so I can understand why he got angry," Blore said."He sledged me. I just laughed at him. It was pretty funny.
"He said 'congratulations on the debut' [after the game] which was nice.

"I definitely didn't want to lay down. I was the new kid on the block, I wanted to take it to them and lay a platform and make a statement. I thought I did OK. It's not up to me but hopefully I can hold a spot and build on that."

Blore's debut was stretched to 46 minutes due to a nasty head knock that sent teammate Michael Chee Kam to hospital and an HIA for Sam McIntyre. The Penrith Brothers junior finished with 31 tackles and 48 metres.
 
besides Haas I don't think I can remember a better debut by a middle forward in some time than what Shawn produced last night. we have to be patient though with him and the likes of Talau, Hoffman, Simpkin, McIntyre and Stefano, but in time they may well end up with premiership rings on their fingers.
 
Love how he thought he did OK. Shows that he isn’t getting ahead of himself and shows his hunger and drive to build on his game, rather then be accepting of anything less then the best he can give.

Love to see him again next week, he will be all the better for that run .

He deserves to be selected next week, I think it would be an injustice if he wasn't, Brooks bench spot is a waste to start with, MCK is at long odds, but we might have some coming back
 
Love how enjoyed the physicality and welcomed Brown taking exception to him. There won’t be too many keen to run at him repeatedly over the next few years.
