Quote: Teessidewire "You must have a poor memory, started 4 games, plus 6 more off the bench. Got absolutely hammered by David Barnhill in a game against Leeds and then went back to Salford. He was bought to replace some kid called Briers.'"
Remember how Blakeley signed for us....he had left Salford and was supposed to be going to Huddersfield but then for whatever reason after they merged with Sheffield Eagles, their contract offer was no longer forthcoming so Blakeley was stuck without a club. He was on holiday in the Bahamas and Peter Deakin was in the same resort, the two of them met and we ended up offering him a deal. We were pretty light on backs so I think Blakeley was signed as a utility back and goalkicker. If I remember right we managed to get a fee from Salford when they signed him back halfway through the season so that was quite a good deal for us.
