I remember going to one of them meet the staff events Powell said he was looking for more durability in players ironic we were blighted by injurys during his last three years in charge

Absolutely and IMO that’s the reason why we didn’t reach 2017 heights again, nothing to do with Powell having taken us as far as he could

I disagree with you on this look at the games he's started second row different class there if he regains the form he had before the first lockdown then we'll be in for a treat if him and edwards work well together he isn't lazy at all hes brilliant in defence to back my point up i'll use the wire playoff game a couple of years ago he won us that game with his outstanding defence solid player and his heart is in cas and it has worked it showed against fc that we were missing him

Not sure what games you been watching but iv not seen anything from Blair that makes me want him in 17, personally i do think he looks lazy and disinterested.

He always looks to me like he’s on work to rule. He does his job, doesn’t do a lot wrong but won’t do any overtime, to use a militant union member analogy! Potentially one of the most talented players in the squad but yet to show it. Dogged by niggling injuries and the fact his wife and kids are half way round the world must be incredibly tough for him. However he’s one of if not the biggest earner we have and we need more from him. If he can rub along well with Radders hopefully next season we will see the proper Cheyse Blair.

A bit generous saying he's been class in the back row @Pricey2000. He's not had any games where I've thought he's been really bad, although he has coasted through a fair few, he's also not had any where I've thought wow, there's the ex Melbourne centre we signed.

If we could get him off the books and use the quota spot and wages on someone else, then I wouldn't be upset.

Lacks the enthusiasm and Vocality on the pitch. Just haven't seen a spark from him. Pity he doesn't have Jesse's get up and go. If they were both out of contract at the same time, I know which one I'd keep.

Still, he's a Cas player and I'm hoping he comes back injury free and ready to put a marker down. Radford won't allow anything less and I'm loving that.

one of those aussie imports you look at and wonder how he ever held down a place in a top NRL side.

Hopefully his 6 week trip back home will make the prospect of a bleak pre-season and Christmas away from the family too much to bear and he’ll stay where he is.

He’s to isolate for 2 weeks so will be only getting 4 weeks with the family.
Unless cas have said he can come back to pre season a bit later.
