Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3467520, member: 1899"] I was against the Blair signing as well. More accurately I was on the fence, but since I wanted to provoke a discussion I took a side. My issue with Blair is that he was brought into provide something different when we Brisbane already had three senior mobile middles in Thaiday, McGuire and Parker. I felt for the sake of balance the Broncos needed a bigger body and somebody entering their prime. Gavet was closer to that but he had a screw loose and had arguably the most infamous cameo in club history. I don't necessarily think that was a bad assessment. I think ultimately those short-comings were founded and Brisbane couldn't match it with the best clubs around the ruck. What I didn't take into account was Blair's 1%ers and how well he combined with Milford. Brisbane relied on his quick play-the-balls to spark the attack. Unfortunately when the Warriors came knocking his form dipped dramatically and he was poor by the end of his stint here. That Eels game in particular stands out right away. I didn't rate a lot of Bennett's signings. So much so, when they signed Bird I felt I had learned my lesson and decided to be supportive of if because Bennett would find a way to make it work. I think he had one good game under Bennett but otherwise what a disaster. [/QUOTE]
