Shawn Blore #235

I hope we keep him. I like Twal and Seyfarth but this guy has more upside than both of them.

He does he’s bigger and faster and has the leg speed to make line breaks on the edge or big metres in the middle.

My source tells me he's been wanting to leave for months

 

[magpies forever]

I gave heard he wants to go elsewhere. I can remember a comment on here some time ago around that and the general reaction was that was a a bit disloyal after all the support with his injuries. Having said that WT might as well make use of other clubs interest in him to free up a spot and maybe, just maybe take another with him eg Nofo who has already had a taste of Melbourne that he apparently loved. If we can get 2 off our full books for a back coming in where we are weak that's good isn't it?

I’m assuming Melbourne would be offering him the starting back row spot in from of Loliero.
So you would assume we would have to also be giving him a starting spot to be any chance of keeping him.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Blore will not be a massive loss if he does go

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Blore at Melbourne will excel just like Eli Katoa did this year.

That is for certain.
I’d much prefer he excel while remaining with us.

We have 3 middle forwards joining our nrl squad in 25 - Sukkar, Kit and Faagatu and the only off contract middle forward at the end of 24 are Blore and Sione Fainu. Never any doubt Blore isn't staying long term.

I’d say he is more likely to replace Tariq Sims and Matt Eisenhuth. Next back rower for Melbourne will be Jack Howarth

Melbourne have Warbrick, Coates, Meaney, Jennings, Smith and possibly Faalongo and Anderson as wing options. There is no way we can convince them to take Nofoaluma.

 

[hank37w]

Melbourne would be a good move for Nofo, he wouldn't even have to leave Sydney because he could be playing for the North Sydney Bears.

That's a great way to repay the favour for never being on the field

Does your source say why?

Doesnt mean we shouldnt try.

 

[ancient_magpie]

Does your source say why?

No but I'll try and find out next week

 

[Demps]

Pretty sure Jennings has been released.... Grant off contract.
Smith is a Centre there,

Shortens up your list some.

Jenko is gone.

They've got Howarth down as a centre too.

 

[Demps]

Howarth came through there....
Pretty sure he finished the year in Back Row in Cup though

Yeah, he's signed long term.
Is a backrower as far as I'm concerned but they have him on their list as a centre.

 

[gregjm87]

Sorry, didn't know Jennings was released.
Smith finished the season on the wing and whilst i know Anderson is off contract last I heard he is likely to stay with Storm's QCup side.
Also don't know what is happening with Iremia and Kane Bradley has another year with them. He is listed as a wing in their squad list but filled in a few spots.
Though Nofa is better than these two.

Plus who knows what other rookies they might be looking to bring through.
