10. Joffa
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. Parker

14. KNik
15. Wallace
16. Ese'ese

If Glenn is also out:

Blair facing a week out with a early guilty plea and if he challenges and found guilty two weeks.

 

[Sproj]

He should jump at that, that is actually a really good result for a very blatant offence.

 

[Fernando]

Very lucky to be just the week. Hopefully it's a wake up call to stop doing stupid sh*t.

 

[Stix]

I'd say Wayne would of been filthy... he could of injured a team mate potentially taking him out for a few weeks also. Stupid.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Yeah I was expecting two weeks myself, one week isn't to be sneezed at in the scheme of things.

 

[mitch222]

take the one and move on
with glenn out as well, someone is getting blooded

 

[Astro]

If he takes the one does he still have carry over points left?

 

[mitch222]

If he takes the one does he still have carry over points left?

yep
risks another week if he contests

 

[Super Freak]

If he takes the one does he still have carry over points left?

Yes.

Not sure how many, but he will still have carry-over points.

Phil Gould knows my thoughts on this, Adam.

 

[BRC088]

I kinda put 10% blame on Sam fro trying to push Blair away, if he doesn't slip off then his arm would have been bent towards him.

What? How dare Sam try to fend off a defender!

Take the week off and be fucking grateful.

 

[bb_gun]

Take the week off and be fucking grateful.

Are you talking to Blair or BRC088?

Very happy with the 1 week suspension though, I was honestly expecting him to be gone for 2-3 weeks.

Gordie and Rothfield didn't waste any time ripping into Broncos and Blair.. Here is what Gordie had to say..

BRISBANE legend Gorden Tallis has launched a scathing attack on Adam Blair, declaring he’s “disappointed he wears a Broncos jersey.”

The former Broncos skipper also branded the New Zealand enforcer as “one of the dirtiest players” in the competition following his chicken wing tackle on Sam Thaiday during Friday’s Test Match at Hunter Stadium.

Tallis also took a swipe at Broncos coach Wayne Bennett while blasting Blair, questioning how the super coach could allow the prop to use dirty tactics while in a Broncos jersey.

“He’s one of the dirtiest players on the field,” Tallis said in Brisbane while previewing Fox Sports’ Saturday night double-header.

“He means to do it. I think it’s poor what he did. He hits blokes in the back when they pass.

“I don’t know how Wayne Bennett keeps on letting it go because he used to chastise all his players for doing that.

“It’s a tough game. It’s a man’s game. It’s tough enough without getting hit in the back and twisted.
“I get disappointed that he wears the Broncos jersey and plays like that.”

Blair is facing up to one week on the sideline with an early guilty plea after he was charged by the NRL match review committee for his foul play on Thaiday.

The prop has until Tuesday to enter his plea with an unsuccessful trial to sideline him for two games.

Former Australian Test halfback Brett Kimmorley questioned how the pair could stay friends once back in club land.

“You’d be wondering how they shake hands,” Kimmorley said.

“It’s a dog act. It’s not very good from Adam Blair.”

The Broncos face Manly on Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium.

It's a bit hypocritical from Gordie.. He wasn't exactly a "clean" player.

Yeah Gordie is a real hypocrite when it comes to talking about dirty play. I wonder if he remembers bashing up Ben Ross all those years ago. I haven't forgotten. He also landed one on McDougall for no reason at all as well.

The sooner he hands back his Hall of Fame membership and becomes a fully fledged Titans fanboy who's free to bag the Broncs, the better.
