I'm sure Blair will have a list of offers to take over his $500,000 a year contract. Especially based on his first two years at Wests!

Wouldn't be surprised if Wests pay alot of that just to get rid.

He'll end up at Parra!

Doesn't everyone?

I don't know how good/bad he is. I'm merely passing on what I've heard about ins and outs.

Back ended?

Blair's been terrible in a terrible West's side .

Like the article says, he is strong, good offload at times but his work rate is pretty poor at times

Just seems a bit strange when he wanted to come home and asked for an early release, or could it be that he's still owed some for the years he was there?

At a guess, unless they've got it wrong.

Not because I know anything, just assume any player not signed by Radders/Motu is a possibility?

Isn't that just Thompson and Paea?

Both have been modelling our new training gear, not saying it's a cast iron guarantee.

We wont pull out of either of those deals IMO - the fact we stopped the pusuit of Mika is good news though

Sounds like we will be getting a player who gives 100% effort. Nothing breaking at this end yet, but I guess its not signed sealed and delivered. Still young enough to kick on a bit as a prop. One thing Betts seem to be good at is developing players and he will love Johnsons attitude! All of our young props have really improved, including Phil Joseph, who perhaps wasn't so young. The only failure was Ben Davies who had the skills but not the attitude!
So sounds like a good bit of business for both of us!

Betts likes players with a good work ethic and team players.Not signed many top marquee signing but you dont need that to be a success.Widnes will do well if buy alot of hard workers and not many teams will find it easy at the Widnes stadium.Hope he does well for Widnes.

Reminded me of Matty Shultz. Full of heart always gave 100% but just lacks that bit of size and aggression. Good luck to him.

Not good enough to take us forward. It seems over the last two seasons the club have been handing out really silly deals to average players, I assume that fell under McRae who many fans still hold in high regard, I'd question that!!

Interesting to read AP's comments in HDM about the players calling out for strong management and with Radford now in position they'll get it. His opinion of Gentle's methods must have had a massive shift since offering the contract extension at the start of last season.

I questioned the fact we seem to have a heavy reliance on people with Howes as an agent and do wonder if McRae was a little too pally with him and taken his eye off the ball so to speak.

Seems foolish for the club to limit themselves with just one agent .

Possibly around the beginning of August?

the only strong management coming out of the KC is coming from AP himself, im just wondering if hes pulling Radfords strings?
