I hope we dont lose Blair. Not looking good though the Warriors will throw a lot of money at him

“It’s only talks at this stage. They can’t put a deal on the table until everything is sorted with the Storm. I’m still under contract so it would be wrong for me to go out there and [start] asking for offers at this point in time.” Adam Blair.

Not looking good. His form hasn't been great and this could explain why.

take him, he adds very little in comparison to last year

I think he should be playing lock, would allow him to roam and use his ball-skills, his running game is not his strength

You can't be serious, he's our best ball playing forward by far, his a strong ball runner and out on the fringes can cause havoc when he needs to.

Storm MUST retain him.

(p.s) We have had our fair share of drama this season 'Nacho', that might be taking its toll.

good as gone I reckon,

He is very popular in NZ, and the warriors will be prepared to pay him a lot more than us.

Bad decision if he does go. The Warriors are the joke of the NRL, they cant develop talent on a consistent basis, and established first graders who go there always end up going backwards. In saying that, bye bye to Inu and Mateos careers as we know it.

That will change if kearney goes there.

If Blairy reckons the Warrior will help his career fly north then he is sadly deluded.

I personally only want guys who want to play for the Melbourne Storm and the purple jersey to stay with us.

Cooper and Cam are the only 2 I can recall saying that the jersey and club mean more to them than the game

so all this drama means that when he gets the ball he instantly thinks

"im a 2nd rower, i should run straight and make some meters, oh wait... cameron smith had 3 contracts, maybe i should pretend im benji marshall and do a little sidestep and gain 30cm"

Yes Sallymay...I do believe you are right.....he bleeds purple and would probably play just for lunch.

Unfortunately he may be squeezed out if the crunch comes as he doesn't seem to be able to get out on the park.

It will be a sad day as he is a true Melbourne Storm legend.

Maybe because they are on more than our game and any other club can legally afford to pay them? And of course if they are forced out of the Storm due to inflated pay packets, instead of going to another NRL club they'd rather sign with a code that can continue to pay them overs. No loyalty in that - just personal greed.
Perhaps Blair wants to leave the environment of cheating and corruption for a fresh start, and return home? Nothing wrong with that.
I also imagine any of your players who are on lower wages will be pretty bitter at their so-called mates possibly getting paid massive amounts more than they are entitled to.
