Bugger.

He will be a big loss to our team and its structure.....a vastly underrated player...

Let's hope common sense prevails and Curtis Scott gets a run at his spot. I will be very unhappy if Tonuma-speedbump gets picked all year and loses us our season.

Very fortunate to have a worthy replacement. Curtis' attack is much better with ball in hand but in other areas and especially in defense we can't underestimate Blair's worth.
Thankfully there's still 7 games to go and enough time to improve some key areas.

I reckon Cheese's best quality is his ability to draw defenders with his big body and then give early ball to JAC with enough space to take off.

Surely Blairy deserves another go, now Youngie is off and based on Blairys form last year. Surely.

Cheyse doesn't sound like he is going too bad in this analysis.

In good news for Storm fans, Cheyse Blair continued his impressive return from injury.

"Cheyse Blair ran for over 190 metres, he didn't get clean ball but he was very strong, always looking for work and helping the forwards out," Sipple said.

"To run 190 metres with limited opportunity was very good."

Melbourne Storm’s Cheyse Blair scores a winner with first home
MELBOURNE Storm centre Cheyse Blair and his young family are loving life after settling into their first home close to the club’s AAMI Park base.
MELBOURNE Storm centre Cheyse Blair has bought his first home, close to the club’s AAMI Park base.

The 26-year-old NRL player and his partner Tamara Wheeler benefited from not having to pay stamp duty when they secured their two-bedroom Abbotsford pad for $550,000 earlier this year.

Blair told Property Insiders he and Tamara had been attracted to the inner-city lifestyle on offer with the apartment at 120 Gipps St, after getting a taste for it when they first moved to Melbourne.

“We could have moved further out and maybe bought something bigger, but then you’ve got to deal with traffic heading into training every day,” he said.

“We were renting in Richmond when we first moved down and loved the inner city, that’s what made us look at this area.

“We were looking around Hawthorn and the other side of Richmond and then this place came up.”
