Adam Blair to the Tigers has been floating around for so long now. Not sure what the hold up is. Pretty sure everyone knows that he's off to the Tigers next season.

I remember watching Storm play a few weeks ago. They were the channel 9 game on Sunday. The commentators were saying rumour has is that Blair's signed on with a team but doesn't want to break the news to his teammates or tell them where he's going.

That was a few weeks ago and a few weeks before that I heard he was off to the Tigers for roughly $500k a season. I remember thinking he's worth no where near that much and that the Tigers were paying massive overs for him.

Anyway not sure why this story is taking so long to break. Maybe he agreed to terms but never signed?

Sorry too admins/mods if this post isn't acceptable.

The Tigers had to dump a bunch of players to fit Blair in.

Makes sense given the massive money he's signing for.

Who have they officially offloaded though? Off the top of my head I can think of Gibbs and Fifita to the Sharks.

Thought it was a seriously legitimate post. My bad. :doh:

There is no way Blair is worth 500k a season. Bad move from the Tigers.

Couldn't agree more. I'd offer him half of that.
 
Moltzen, possibly Beau Ryan & Chris Heighington although he's probably staying like Penrithfan said.
 
Bell is a solid signing, Im not sure why Penrith let him go. He was always solid for them making good metres. Heck, wouldn't have minded if the Knights chased after him. Maybe he's been injured or just not getting enough game time. To make matters worse Penrith are linked to Newton but it seems like a nothing rumour atm. Surely they and Gus aren't that stupid though.
But I reckon he's (Bell) an upgrade on Gibbs.

If any one knew i'm sure it would have been said in here. But at this point id say it is more likely that Titans will re sign him

I dont agree, while he is a good player i don't see him fitting in the team, he would also be a dent in the salary cap, which could go toward a specialist back rower.
 
because i do not know how they can fit some of those players in with
jamal idris $500000+
beau champion $200000+
matt sarma
luke douglas $400000+
nate myles $400000+
and the resignings of preston campell, luke bailey, ashley harrison and jordan rankin which arnt on small money
and the titans havent decided to take up their team option yet which means they are either trying to sign some one else or more likely they can due to salary cap pressure? your thoughts?

and remember the salary cap is 4.2million

He's an Origin 2nd rower/lock. There's no better forward in that position on the market.
