Dynamic Blair Now a Tiger

New Zealand test forward Whangarei-born Adam Blair, has signed a four-year deal with the West Tigers, to start in the next NRL season. The signing of the Melbourne back-rower/prop has been one of the more anticipated recruitments of recent times, with the Tigers having cleared the decks to secure his signature. One of the world’s most dynamic forwards is poised to form a potent back-rower combination alongside Englishman Gareth Ellis next season. “Adam is a world-class forward who has been a key member of the very successful Storm side in recent years” Wests Tigers’ chief executive Stephen Humphreys said. “His experience, leadership and professionalism will be great assets to our club.”
