In his defence . . . and remember the dumb things we did years ago . . . he was at least driving to training, and not the local meth den . . . .

Yes, absolutely LM. Agree %100
he's got a $400 fine and 3 month
license suspension from the judge.
club will punish him internally but
he won't miss any game time thats
ridiculous. Tuki Simpkins got done
for driving unlicensed last year,
crashing into a fence and leaving
the scene of the offence last year
and the club dealt with it internally

Didn't the club bleach Tuki's hair as part of the internal treatment? Meanwhile, how did Blore get suspended in the first place and why were there no reports of that incident at the time? Blore almighty! How dumb are NRL players?

You know what I want to see out of Blore. I want to see him either run good lines out wide or to move him into the middle.
He keeps getting talked up as a backrower but backrowers need to run good lines on an edge and he hasn't done that yet.

Sheens said Bateman might not be ready for R1. Unlike to play in the trials. Could see Blore start in the 2nd row.

This isn't good. I suppose it's a chance for Blore but like I said he needs to show he can run a good line out wide or be played as a middle forward. His defense is good.
He was moonlighting with Toyota as a ‘crash test dummy’
He's done a dumb thing outside of his employment with the club.
He should cop the same as a normal citizen and should be allowed to perform his normal employment.
Looking forward to seeing Blore on the park in the trials.

At this stage, Blore will be the far more reliable choice.
For all their big-name recruits arguably the smartest piece of business the Wests Tigers have done in the off-season was retaining second-rower Shawn Blore.
Blore missed the entire season last year with an ACL injury - for the second time in his career - and says he owes the Tigers a debt after they threw him a contract lifeline.
With just 18 top-grade games under his belt, the 22-year-old isn't yet a household name but endeared himself to Tigers fans when he went after Parramatta's Nathan Brown early into his NRL career.
Blore has huge potential, he captained NSW U18s and now looks set to feature heavily in Tim Sheens' new-look Tigers outfit as he aims to make up for lost time.
"The fact they showed love to me and my family I am in debt to this club," Blore said.
"I love them for that - I'm unproven in the NRL, I've done nothing.
"They've thrown a kid a contract who has done two knees and I want to repay that by getting back on the field.
"Up until this point in my career I had never felt the pressure of a contract, I had one year left (before the ACL) and I didn't really know what was going to happen.
"When I got the phone call from my manager to say the Tigers wanted to re-sign me, I remember telling mum and dad, there was a feeling of relief because I'd been carrying so much weight and that was gone."
Blore has been soaking up the experience brought to the club by Sheens and has paid close attention to the work ethic of prop David Klemmer.
The back-rower claims in recent years they have lacked the aura of a forward leader such as Klemmer, who refuses to take shortcuts.
"I like Klemm because he's a bit of a nutcase," Blore said.
"The way he carries himself and the way he trains he lifts our energy, you love playing next to someone like that.
"He's going to hurt someone someday with the way he runs, it's so good to see and it's a breath of fresh air to stand next to someone like that who's going to give 110 per cent."

Blore's Emotional Return
It may have only lasted 29 minutes, but Shawn Blore’s return to the playing field on Sunday was 533 days in the making.
The 22-year old struggled to contain his emotions at Belmore as he pulled on the orange, black and white for the first time since the final round of the 2021 season.
He entered Sunday’s match in the 26th minute and wasted no time in making an impact on the game, earning a penalty with his first carry of the football.
Speaking to Wests Tigers at full-time, Blore stated that he was thrilled to be reunited with his teammates on the field.
“It was pretty hard to keep the emotions in and I got teary-eyed in the sheds, but it was good to get the game out," he said.
Blore was all but certain to claim a starting spot in the second-row last year when he cruelly tore his ACL just one month from the start of the season.
He's determined to show that he's got plenty to offer in 2023, as part of a vastly strengthened pack of forwards.
He did his chances no harm last Sunday and showed off his silky passing skills by executing a swift catch-and-pass that allowed Charlie Staines to score in the right corner.
Blore was particularly complimentary of his team’s defence against the Raiders as the home side conceded just four points against a near-full strength Canberra outfit.
“We defended very well in that first half and got the rewards out of it,” he said.
“The first period where we held them out for six sets in a row… that represents us as a team now.”
Blore stated that the experience of his new teammates was invaluable during the tough periods on the field, pointing specifically to the leadership provided by prop David Klemmer.
“It was a grind and we all knew that, but Klem’s been very vocal about staying calm no matter what happens," said Blore.
“We just broke them and eventually the natural footy came through.”
