Shawn Blore #235

There is something about him which makes me believe he could be an elite player. Since having a reasonable run without injury his ceiling appears to get higher and higher.

I see him a starting middle who can play big minutes but still have the impact of someone coming off the bench.

He is better than the imposter Papps. Back to Parra for him.

I think Paps is suffering from those around him. He was being put through Gais at Parra where with us he is trying to break the line.
He’s a better player but only in the right circumstances.
Blore is a big unit and ideal middle. The lock though, is weak and I’d go Matamua for some flair.

Yes you completely misunderstood what I was trying to say.

I was having a crack at Pascoe/Lee/The Board over their constant double standards and bullshit that on one hand they are saying that the coach gets the players he wants yet they parachute in a recruitment manager behind the coaches backs.

I was trying to highlight the disagreements the coaches and the recruitment manager have supposedly had as far as players that were a priority to target.

Whether that was ever the case and if it was, whether it is now actually resolved we will probably never know for sure.

I don't know whether Fulton will turn out to be a great appointment for us but sincerely hope that it all works out well, but the fact of the matter is that on one of the ask the boss segments both Pascoe and Lee admitted that they didn't know Scott Fulton and neither of them had anything to do with him prior to appointing him.

Lee had to phone Ray Hadley to get advice on the appointment and it is common knowledge how close Hadley was to Bob Fulton and his family going back at least 30-40 years, so of course he gave Scott Fulton a glowing endorsement, and it looks like that was enough to go behind the coaches backs and for the dynamic duo to make the appointment.

The bottom line is and the point I was trying to make, albeit in a sarcastic manner, was how can we trust what Pascoe and Lee say about the coach getting who he wants in his playing roster when they have so blatantly gone behind the coaches backs in the past and meddled with matters that affect the football department when they openly admit that they have little or no expertise in that area.

I may not have explained that all that well but hope it goes some way to clarify what I was trying to get across.

It's a cut throat business no room to be the nice guy.

Fulton has better connections with players particularly south west players and also player managers than Sheens and Warren McDonnell.

“Benji [Marshall] and ‘Sheensy’ [Tim Sheens] were keen to keep me. I’m a very loyal person. They gave me a chance when I was coming off a knee injury.

“As it stands, I just want to finish the season and see what happens from there. I’ll know more in two weeks what’s going on. My heart lies with the club. I hope they keep me, and fingers crossed they do keep me.”

“But I also don’t want to jump ship when things get hard here. I want to see the Tigers win. I just want a proper pre-season. I want to leave everything out there [next pre-season], and become a player who plays 80 minutes, and then some.”

Haven't seen the tiger's jumping to resign him which he obviously wants he's probably been offered a contract with abit more stability shame I think the kid can really play
 
I hope we give him another year on top of next year to show him we value him, yet we have the protection of if he does sustain a long term injury to not be signed long term. Shawn's passion and loyalty is great for culture, however I also believe he has the ability to be a good backrower with impact as he is a decent sized young man and can hit a hole like in the NZ game when presented with a decent passing halves pairing.
