Source: www.weststigers.com.auWests Tigers has today announced the signing of NZ Test forward Adam Blair on a four year deal commencing in 2012.
Rated as one of the world's best forwards, Blair has already played 22 Test matches for New Zealand and played in three Grand Finals for the Melbourne Storm over the past five years.
A player with terrific ball skills and strong defence, Blair has played 114 NRL matches.
Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys said the Club was delighted to have secured the services of Blair.
"Adam is a world class forward who has been a key member of the very successful Storm side in recent years," Humphreys said.
"His experience, leadership and professionalism will be great assets to our Club.
In further good news for the Club, Wests Tigers has also agreed to terms with two experienced NRL players for 2012.
Current Parramatta centre Joel Reddy has agreed to a contract for the 2012 and 2013 seasons and Penrith prop Matthew Bell will join Wests Tigers for at least the 2012 season.
Reddy has played 90 NRL matches since making his first grade debut for Parramatta in late 2005. He has established himself as one of the best defensive centres in the NRL in recent years and is also a quality attacking player.
Bell has played 104 matches for Penrith since making his NRL debut in 2006. A tough and uncompromising prop, Bell is regarded as an excellent worker in both attack and defence.
"The recruitment of one of the game's best forwards in Adam Blair, along with the depth and experience provided by both Joel and Matthew, will blend very well with the existing and emerging talent we have in the Wests Tigers roster," Humphreys said.

Source: www.qrl.com.auNINE new players were today named in the QAS Emerging Origin squad that will be put through its paces by Academy Head Coach Wayne Bennett next month.
The impressive 14-man squad will take part in numerous sessions at the Queensland Sport & Athletics Centre (QSAC) in Brisbane from January 21-23.
It includes Matt Gillett - the 2010 Dally M Rookie of the Year.
Gillett enjoyed an outstanding year in the NRL after forcing his way into the Broncos side following a bumper season with the Norths Devils in the Queensland Cup.
He is one of the nine players who will experience the highly-regarded QAS Emerging Origin camp for the first time.
The other newcomers are Ben Barba, Dane Nielsen, Justin O'Neill, Daly Cherry-Evans, Robert Lui, Martin Kennedy, Jake Friend and Ben Te'o.
Cherry-Evans starred for the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles in the Intrust Super Cup this year, taking out the Courier-Mail Best & Fairest as well as the Carbine Club Rookie of the Year.
The Emerging Origin squad has played a pivotal role in Queensland's stunning recent domination of the Harvey Norman State of Origin series.
Boom forward David Taylor played in all three games of the 2010 Origin series after taking part in the Emerging Origin program.
Jharal Yow Yeh and Ben Lowe were selected as 18th men for the second and third games of this year's Origin series respectively after also attending the Emerging Origin camp alongside Taylor.
Yow Yeh and Lowe have retained their spots in the squad. Daniel Vidot, Matt Bell and William Zillman will also return.
