He wasn't dropped, he was injured.

He's also not been anywhere near as bad as a few people on here seem to think, a few handy assists and solid as a rock in his tackling.

Well that's your opinion but don't agree with you were letting a better player go to Hull kr next year

Just to be clear Sheriff I took it that your first comment was fact, not opinion?
I agree with your opinion bit by the way

Spot on assessment is that Sherriff. Don’t let facts sway your opinion....

I was just asking about whether the injury was a fact. Sorry if I wasn’t clear

Powell said in his post match interview with Radio Leeds that Blair pulled out Sunday morning. Can’t see anything but injury/illness in that instance.

Shame he only started showing up when he couldn’t agree a deal with Cas. Wasn’t anywhere good enough before.

Could argue no pressure on him anymore, although there was always a good player in him waiting to come out.

Think Minkin did okay the first 3/4 games but his form seriously dipped and the team as a whole for probably the next 10/11 games, seems to be playing 'well' at the minute, and if anyone thinks Blair is 'rubbish' or 'not good enough' need to give their head a shake.

my opinion I was right about fullback half back situation ,is that were going to need another centre for next year for cover at least. in less we keep rankin for another year at fullback and have pete for centre cover . Nobody can for sure on here say shentons going to make full recovery and blair going to play to his expectations .

Mautautia had a good game dropped ball once apart from that worked his socks off he will be a good centre if the coach wants to keep him there

Seemed to play all over, in the deffensive line he played second row/7 with holmes in the left centre

Do people forget that quick how bad he was at centre for 3/4 of the season and just because hes had 3 good games its all we shouldnt let him go.hes a winger not a centre and if he wants to play centre then let him go to play it.for me hes shown in the season that he isnt a centre in my opinion and if powell thinks same then by by
