Blair joins the 300 Club

The Rugby League Players’ Association would like to congratulate New Zealand Warriors forward Adam Blair – who will tonight become the 36^th player in the game’s history to play 300 first grade games.

A former RLPA Director, Blair will join the illustrious ‘300 Club’ in his side’s Round 14 clash against the Gold Coast Titans at CBUS Super Stadium.

The New Zealand Kiwi veteran International made his NRL Debut in 2006 for the Melbourne Storm – where he amassed 121 first grade appearances across six seasons.

Blair also had stints with Wests Tigers (2012-14) and the Brisbane Broncos (2015-17) before linking up with the Warriors in 2018.

Adding to his 299 NRL games, Blair has also played 48 Tests for New Zealand, represented the NRL All Stars and the New Zealand Maori side.

Blair joins fellow New Zealanders Rueben Wiki and Simon Mannering in the 300 Club.  

The RLPA would like to recognise Blair’s contribution to the game and congratulate him on joining the illustrious group of players who achieved this significant milestone.
