McGuire pledges to bring Brisbane a title

I was thinking about how much I wanted a new signing this year to make us that little bit better, completely forgetting our best prop is set to return. What a pleasant reminder.

I wonder what this will mean for Blair.

Will he drop off a bit?

He was good before McGuire got injured, but he didn't go up that extra gear until McGuire got injured. It forced him to step up to try and fill the void..

I hope he keeps playing like McGuire is injured.

Defensively he'll be the same, but he'll take less hit ups. Don't expect many 100+m games from him with McGuire fit. When McGuire got injured against Newcastle, Blair starting taking nearly double the amount of hit-ups for the rest of the game, and as it turned out for the rest of the season. He did the same at the Tigers when Woods was out. Hopefully he'll take on the line a little more often though, because we need the second phase play that came off the back of it.

That's the spirit and what the boys will need early on in 2016. I can see us very flat in the first half of the season.
