Watchful Tigers keen to snare Blair

Hes not thinking about it….its clear he wants to stay at Melb...but...
....so what if we are his second option?
It happens all the time with the cap.
Ask Liam.
We arent really in a position to be making demands

Yeah beat me to it Ink. The guy has been with Melbourne for all of his career - he likes the place - no doubt the coach and does not want to leave - I understand where he is coming from.

If we don't get him we are in big trouble.

Why?

Yeah Why…if he doesn't come doesn't that mean we have 500k a season for the next 3 seasons to spend on upgrades or chase someone else.......

Would have thought that was a good thing....

Anyhow if all the whispers are true he is signed and sealed with us.....

Exactly he has signed, so dont know why everyone is worried about from what they read in the news article someone posted, im confident hes signed so we just need to wait for it to be confirmed by the club.

No one is signed till its confirmed.. its a bit like Lote.. some of us knew the deal but still wouldnt like to put our house on it till its 100%
history tells you dont say its so till its done and announced..

Why are they delaying making an announcement M7?

I have to find out, to be honest all this is what someone has told me, cause i mentioned that we are after Blair and my mate told me he knows someone that is involved with the 3rd party deal. so if i hear anything new i will share it but im just saying what i heard.

Yeah why would we want a International player who is vice captain of his country Tiger 05 If you get 5 minutes spare watch the Storm V Bulldogs game It certainly opened my eyes up to how good Blair is . We need a big external signing and he is that signing imo . Would be prepared to let Fifita or BMM go to get him
 
i'd be very happy to sign blair. he adds that aggression and our pack (and indeed the team) would be amazing with him as our leader. i wouldn't want to lose gibbs, fifita, or woods though but maybe with cayless retired, and letting go moors we can free up enough cash? certainly not $500k though.
 
Blair would be a great signing & if we let Moors go who hasnt done anything to be honest, & flanagan heading back to england that will free up some cash but the players i can see leaving is the Fifita bros as a deal to cronulla.

I want to get him but if we don't we have plenty of quality juniors coming through. The point is that you can't get them all.

Still I would love to see him at the Tigers.

Chase someone else like who? Graham is off to the Dogs. Aside from Blair what other quality forwards are on the market?

We will be in trouble because our pack lacks mongrel, and we need another quality player. Blair fits that bill.
 
Agree Hybrid,

Our Pack lacks Mongrel and a player or two that other teams fear.

Gal, Gibbs, Payto, Heighno, Fulton are good Solid FG forwards but not scary. Ellis was a hard hitter but he seems to have backed off the Agro.
 
It appears Canterbury are out the race for Blair now they have signed Graham.

It now leaves us and Melbourne (would have to stay for less money) for Blair's signature.

I wonder if Sheens not signing on for next year has anything to do with Blair's delay in making a decision.

Would love his aggression in a Wests Tigers jersey.

Imagine our pack in 2012

Galloway
Farah
Blair
Ellis
Gibbs
Heighington

Bench

Fulton
Woods
Fifita
Dwyer
BMM
Payten (if he hasn't retired)
 
it would be a pretty darn good looking pack and yeah, Blair would add that bit of mongrel that the pack lacks
 
Why do these sorts of transactions seem to take so long here at the Tigers>??

If you wanna stay or join - Do it.

PS Everett - Interesting hat you got Gibbs in the 2nd Row and Blair at Prop.
