Re: [RUMOUR] Adam Blair to Broncos
He's signed for 2016 free in 2017 and I fully expect him to be a Bronco after that especially now his parents have moved back to Brisbane.

Yep
And all the Bennett bashers seem to forget he got the knights to the semi finals last year and with the amount of shit he put up with at Newcastle this year, its no wonder they didn't do any good this year. A change of scenery might be good for Blair and he is only 28. That's when players are in their prime for the front row. Price will dictate if he is a good signing or not but don't judge him until he has put a broncos jersey on and played a couple of games for us.

They were one of the favourites for the premiership the year he arrived though that was mainly media talk. His signing along with off field drama has been their biggest problem for the last couple of years.

Forget the hitup metres how does the 2.6 missed tackles compare because he has been signed to add starch, we already have signed runners of the ball?
Legit question here i am not trying to be smart

They were poorly coached though as evidenced by all the negative Sheens comments in the 4 nations thread

I don't know about his defence stats but only this year he seemed to be defensively really solid and actually hit hard.
He seems to be quality not quantity. And isn't being AS lazy now.
if the tigers are subsidizing and we got him cheap I'm not too disappointed.

93rd in the NRL (most missed), Alex Glenn, Matt Gillett and Nate Myles are notorious guys above him, with 3.1.
However stats are skewed, as they don't compare to the total amount of tackles attempted...

Wow, they were too Bman.
I just had a look through Big League's 2012 Season Preview and a number of journos had them down as the premier. Strange, I don't remember it that way at all - I thought it was a two horse race between Melbourne & Manly with Newcastle, Brisbane, Warriors, Dragons, Bulldogs & Cowboys having a say.
I've made my stance pretty clear on this, I don't want him here. I think he's been ordinary for a very long time and was absolutely exposed outside of the Melbourne system.
I just hope he's able to put all the pieces together at the Broncos and adds some intimidation around the ruck.

About as well as Kennedy being Coached by Griffin.
Don't see him getting a chance under WB though.

IMO Bennett will make sure that those guys defence is fixed, because it had to be to become a premiership force.

IF ... he can get all the pieces to fit, then he'll be a handy asset to the team.
I just hope bennett can get into his head like Bellamy did, because he's been pretty clueless since he left the Storm.

Got to admit though it is still a pretty descent lineup.
