    The Warriors will have another reason to close out their final NRL game of the season with a win

    The Warriors will have another reason to close out their final NRL game of the season with a win

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Forward Adam Blair's opted out of the final year of his contract with the club, and will instead retire.

    Tomorrow's match against Manly will be the 331st of Blair's career, the most by any New Zealander in the competition.

    He's also the second most capped Kiwi behind Reuben Wiki, having featured 51 times for his country.

    Blair joined the Warriors in 2018, having previously played for the Melbourne Storm, Wests Tigers and Brisbane Broncos.

    He will remain involved with the Warriors in 2021 in a role 'tailored to his strengths'.
