If Blair resigns with the Storm he will stay at Wigan, if Blair goes elsewhere he will be back at the Storm. Simple as that really in my opinion.

The last I read Blair was to join the Tigers for $1.5 million on a three year deal.

All we can hope is Hoffman is enjoying his time at Wigan and wishes to stay at the club for another year. I wouldn't expect him to stay beyond that though. It just depends who comes calling from the NRL. Madge may wish to take Hoffman with him to the Bunnies.

From when he signed I always assumed he would go back after 12 months despite his optional 2nd year once Storm sorted out their financials.
Our young second rowers will be twelve months older with more experience and should easily fill the void. Class act though.

I'm sure he'll have rubbed off on them in training too.

It can only benefit the like of Faz, Tuson et al to be working with him day in, day out.

They'd probably find that distracting

As good as Hoffman is, his salary is best spent elsewhere in the team next season.

He isn't on as much as you think...

Think him moving back the NRL was always on the cards, you guys have plenty of quality coming through, wouldnt be a huge loss to the squad IMO

There are so many 2nd rowers at the club it would be best to let a few go anyway

Quality player, best of the Melbourne trio so far. Can't be blamed if he does head back over to Oz, I honestly don't see him taking his extra 1 year option.

No idea what he gets paid and I'm surprised if you do.

Makes no difference to the point made - his salary would be best spent elsewhere.

Course he will go why would he stay the money in aus is probably double and I think the weather is abit better and a don't think it will be to Long before finch or lima get cold feet and want to go it seems contract don't mean shizen at our club

I fully expect him to be a Souths player.

There is no way he would be on double the money in OZ. Probably struggled to get the deal he wanted when the Storm needed to cut their wage bill and would be late in the year to find another club, so the 1 year option here is a good deal and he will be looking to get back to the NRL

Whole hearted player who will be a bonus to any team. Unfortunately, don't think it will be Wigan next year, just hope he lifts the Man of Steel trophy before he leaves.
