Wiki says on a $500,000 salary in 2014! Surely we couldn't come near to matching that?

He's going to take a massive pay cut and move from sunny Brisbane to the grey skies of Wigan just for the honour to play for us.

Is this who Suzy Banyon is hinting at in the Squad Numbers thread?

Yeah. I think it's rubbish now the squad numbers have come out, but it does make some sense. NRL player on the slide quality wise, could be doing a Greg Bird and coming to get some coaching in too?

I initially heard it was a loan deal with us only paying part of his wage.

Re: Adam Blair : Mon Nov 14, 2016 9:01 pm  

Would make sense with Mossop and Crosby going, havent heard this one before but seems plausable. Out of contract next year so its not as simple as just matching his salary, at 31 cant see NRL clubs fighting over him.

I hadn't even thought about the prospect of Adam Blair heading to Wigan, but I know his wife is planning on setting up some sort of leisure club in Manchester.

A quick look at his twitter shows he has just bought a Manchester United shirt......

Re: Adam Blair : Mon Nov 14, 2016 10:06 pm  

He's just bought a house in Wigan I understand so it definitely has smoke this rumour, understand it's a year's loan with us only paying half his wage

Re: Adam Blair : Mon Nov 14, 2016 11:41 pm  

Wasn't it Blair that signed for us a few year back according to some on here but turned out to be Lauaki

Re: Adam Blair : Mon Nov 14, 2016 11:41 pm  

Apparently he is prepared to take a pay cut just to come to Wigan. At 31 he wants a long term deal to see out his career. He is impressed with Shaun Wane's aggressive front row policy which really suits his style.
