Yep, fully agreed. The Nine commentary team in particular blow smoke up his arse and he's definitely not an Origin standard player. He's really important for the Tigers though because of how crap the rest of their middle third rotation is, especially when Sheens insists on playing Blair on the edges.
Broken wrist.
I'm a ****ing Jonah. Brought him in to replace Ellis, who got broken last week.
I heard an interview with Sheens on Grandstand today. He was asked about Blair and said (amongst other things) that Blair was having trouble adjusting to having to play a more central role.
I wonder if he means it literally as in centre-field play or (more likely IMO) means it more as in that he's struggling now that he's the go-to guy of the forward pack.. as it's hard to adjust to playing a middle third role when the coach puts you on the left edge.
no way. We looked stronger up the middle when Galloway was on the park. Blair did nothing, to bring his season total to nothing, except drop the ball and give away a penalty. Tigers looked very unsure under the high ball and Tuquiri was woeful again. Blair such a massive waste of money, and I really hate the way he never ever tries to bust the line, but backs in and ends up on his back every single time. Someone who plays that manager game please tell me how many offloads he has, would be surprised if it's more than two for the season. Give me back gibbs.
Not mutually exclusive at all though. Galloway definitely had a better game than Blair but my point was that the side looked better with Blair up the middle than it did when he was on the fringes (although he has at least been sharing that centre role with Heighington in the last two weeks with them swapping a bit; early in the season Blair was exclusively employed as an edge runner).
Nah we've got this young bloke. Minichello or something. He's supposed to be pretty good.
That was an absolute abortion of a match. Roosters were awful, yet probably should have been 20 points clear with 10 to go. The Titans are probably the worst team I've seen since the Dogs of 08, but at least they had an excuse (huge injury list, $BW leaving). Their spine is just abominable, Prince isn't fit to shine the shoes of the player he was prior to 2010. Everything about his game is garbage these days, and that's being kind to his "defense". And he's their captain.
I heard Lyon interviewed on a Sports show on the radio on Thursday and tried to ring in to say it was appropriate they spoke to Judas on the eve of Good Friday, but they wouldn't let me on air.
