Rumour: Adam Blair to the Knights

Massive risk if reports are correct and its $2.4mil over 4 years. He will be 35 by the end. I don't see his value. He's a dirty player who gives away penalties and doesn't make meters.
 
Take the $$$ out of it and his a upgrade from Starling.
Although id probably still offer Starling a minimum contract to steer the reserve grade side around.

He was very impressive a few years ago.
I'd prefer someone a few years younger though.

Billy, we have a wealth of young up and comers, what is needed is experience and like it or not Blair has that, he is a toughened test player with exceptional ball skills which offers great 2nd phase for nippy players like Connor, Ross and Ponga to work off.

I watched him closely last week and swear he offloaded all game, taking the line on without being tackled with the ball once.

I love a forward who blows through a defensive line and makes opposition defenders work, I have never been a big fan of forwards offloading cause if the support isn't aware it can easily turn to disaster but if you are training for it ,that is a different prospectus.

Brings a different dimension to the pack and will compliment the Safiti boys by allowing them to concentrate on the power game.
 
Blair is a outstanding signing if true. Anyone disagreeing are kidding themselves. Like Brown has said many times he is looking for a leader both on and off the field. Being a Kiwi he will relate a lot better with Saifitis, Ese'ese, Sione etc than a fiery red nut pommy.

He seems like the sort of bloke you hate when playing for other teams, but love when playing for your own team.

In Brown/Mooney we trust

That's it. Whilst I'm not sure about Blair I am sure about BrownMoon (that's their couple name) they've been spot on with the recruiting thus far so hard to question them now. They must see something very special in Blair.

Every player is 1 hit gone wrong from retirement.

As for relating to, i dont think it matters if there a red head pom or a kiwi or aboriginal.
In a team environment u bond with everyone or the team fails.

There's a difference between offloading for the hell of it and offloading for purpose. I seen a lot of useless offloads from Blair in the broncs game. He brings that here we lose our natural spark.

That is just an arrogant reply. I don't understand how they would relate any differently. Both played for their country, both leaders and I see Graham as a guy I'd want to play with. Loud and proud. Unlike Blair who just goes about his work week in week out. I want inspiration!!!!

Talk about taking my comment out of context. Just arguing a point for the sake of it. And for the record Ese'ese was born in NZ
 
I just don't see how Blair is a leader. He definentky doesn't lead by example.
I hope I'm wrong as it looks like he is coming here.
