Potter tears hole in Eels recruitment plan
Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter has thrown a road block in Parramatta’s plan to recruit prop Adam Blair for 2014 by insisting the Kiwi international remained in his plans for next season – and beyond – because he was part of the club’s ”fabric”.
Blair joined the club in 2011 with a reputation of being one of the world’s best forwards and apart from commanding a $500,000 contract the Tigers offloaded the likes of NSW prop Andrew Fifita and Bryce Gibbs to Cronulla to accommodate him.
However, Blair was associated with the Parramatta Eels during the week after coach Ricky Stuart told 12 of his players they weren’t wanted next year. It is believed his former club the Melbourne Storm asre also keen on him.
While Blair has struggled at the Tigers to find the form of his time with the Storm and World Cup-winning Kiwis side, Potter was adamant he would rediscover his groove in the black and gold.
