'Roger's done a great job' – Adam Blair supportive of skipper RTS, despite horror end to 2017

January 22, 2018

The Kiwis' skipper won’t take the reins at his new club.

New Warriors signing and Kiwis skipper Adam Blair has thrown his support behind fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, after the 24-year old was retained as club captain for 2018.

Despite having led the side to a record losing streak of nine straight defeats to end the 2017 NRL season, Tuivasa-Sheck was the preferred option of coach Stephen Kearney to lead the side into the new season.

Blair joins the club from the Broncos ahead of the 2018 season.

Speaking at the Warriors' pre-season training this morning, Blair said that he was supportive of the decision, having been linked with the role after his signing from the Brisbane Broncos.

"For me, it's about making sure that I get here and work hard," Blair said.

"Roger's done a great job here, we're all here to support him and we've got some great boys around him."
