Not sure where the hate for Adam Blair or ridiculing the Warriors for signing him is coming from.
It is hard to keep up, but isn't he the Kiwis captain?
He's a proven performer and leader with a hard edge to him. Just what the Warriors need IMO.
Yep sure he was poor at the Tigers, but that was what, a million years ago?Now I'm no Warriors cheerleader, but where else are they supposed to turn?
It clear no top Aussie in their prime is going to sign for us, so again, what are they supposed to do?Seems they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

That's because they are damned if they do and damned if they don't....
Over the years the Warriors seem to have tried everything but sacking the dude on the emblem and the sausage sizzle bloke... and they're still a complete pile of shite. To borrow a quote, their performance over the last 20 years is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma...

Blair has been tapering off in recent years. He was shite for the Tigers but there was a fair bit of stuff going on internally at that time. He's been better with the Bronco's but I reckon that's due to a tougher approach on fitness and being a team player. A 3 year deal is a big risk imo.
More positive about Beale - he's a solid utility and hopefully is a good fit.
I'm worried we are creating a Kiwi's old boys club - unless we see clear evidence of the culture and commitment changing then we can expect the same results.

Roosters beat a depleted Broncos side 24-22 to advance to the semi-finals in two weeks time. Broncos will now face the winner of Manly/Panthers in Brisbane next week.
Adam Blair and Gerard Beale are average/mediocre signings. With long term deals, I suspect their cap hit isn't that high year-to-year.
Warriors made the best signing of the offseason by nabbing the Broncos trainer Alex Corvo. Ruben Wiki has been terrible as trainer and many of the players haven't been able to go the full 80 minutes. Warriors haven't had a tough trainer since Craig Walker.
Also, rumours now that the Warriors are interested in Peta Hiku again....Nepia will be pleased...

Kata, Hiku - it's the dream team.

So right now it seems the Warriors want a backline of: 1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 3. Peta Hiku 4. Gerard Beale 5. David Fusitua 6. Blake Green 7. Shaun Johnson.
If Hiku joins the team it hopefully means that both Kata and Maumalo are on the out.They were awful for much of this season.
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is a better centre/wing than Hiku and needs to be there. -
Cowboys get up over the Sharks in extra time.
Sharks had a chance to square it up 30 seconds from time...
4th tackle was 30m out in the middle of the park, Fifita gets the job to take the 5th tackle hit up, all he needs to do is grab another 5 or 10m to set Maloney up nicely for a field goal attempt.
Fifita the dumb fuck decides to get clever, starts running sideways, then realised he was fucking things up so tries to offload so someone can fix his fuck up but knocks on in the process.Ha fucking ha.

The NQ Cowboys should have missed the playoffs with the amount of injuries they have. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if they upset Parramatta this week.

What's the only thing worse than signing Adam Blair for 3 years?
Signing Adam Blair for 4 years.
Is that serious , has he got 4 years left in him ?

All Queensland this week in the playoffs.
Cowboys continue their run, eliminating the Parramatta Eels tonight 24-14. This is a team that should have missed the playoffs with the amount of injuries they've had, including Thurston and Scott.
Broncos dispatched of the Penrith Panthers last night 13-6. Scary moment for Broncos wing Corey Oates. He was knocked out by his own teammate following a tackle by Nathan Cleary.

Bulldogs finally pull the plug and fire Des Hasler as coach.
