He was the best kick and chaser. As a Tiger supporter, I wish we had him back in his hey day. We might have won one of those GF's with his individual brilliance.
Find it fascinating watching Matty just sit back in awe at someone he watched as a kid. They'll always be your idols these guys. Dangerous player ... he stood out in that generation and the other guy - Brett Kenny .. what a player he was - absolute class.
Phill Blake "Warrior for ever For ever a Warrior! Awesome legend to the great game. 😛👍🍻 A coach one day 🤣😉🤭🍺NSW 's. Sorry! I had to throw that in there 🤣🤣🤣
Those chip and chase tries remind me of when Brandy used to pull them off. Another Manly player who I thought had a great running style was Russel Gardner.
WHAT A LEGEND GREAT PLAYER SO MUCH SPEED ALSO AUCKLAND WARRIORS FIRST TRY SCORER
Phil Blake was unquestionably one of the best attacking players back during his time in the comp 👍😄🏉
Ok 😂
We grew up idolising Phil Blake and every second play in backyard footy was a chip n chase back in the 80's
warrior nation love Phil Blake
Scored the warrior's very 1st try in 95
Blakey the legend.👍.

Remember him well from when I was a kid. Underrated player. Similar to Dale Shearer with his versatility and mercurial nature!
Love this guy as a player
That’s how league should be played.
Loved watching him play he was one of the best

Wow - memories flooding back what a gifted player - love the way he played !!
Great player in a great era
Manly born n bred. Legend
Should have played for Australia, but that era had so many great halves. As Souths fan who lived in Manly, many great memories.
Amazing player!
Absolute legend still my favourite player of all time spent my childhood copying Blakeys chip and chase bloody legend 👍
The kick and chase...but the pickups were something else! Too good! #Respect 🙏
Legendary player
Awesome for the Warriors
Loved watching him play for Warrington in UK
Wonderful player to watch
Master of chip & chase
The first ever try scorer for the Warriors Phil Blake 1995 vs the Broncos at Mt Smart in game one of the new Franchise.
What a freakish talent. Couldn’t crack representative footy thanks to Sterlo and Mortimer and then followed by Stuart.
Has anyone ever kicked an re gathered better
Great skill to not lose any pace while kicking or gathering
Definitely a skill rarely seen today
Probably the late equally great Scott Gale and the legendary Steve Mortimer.
Phil Blake had a couple of short spells with Warrington. He was sensational.
Those chip and chase tries remind me of when Brandy used to pull them off. Another Manly player who I thought had a great running style was Russel Gardner.
I remember playing in the park chipping and chasing alling Blake or trindall
unbelieveable player over here for Warrington and Wigan
He did more chip and chases than the entire 2023 competition so far…..wow
Growing it was always chip n chase Blake if he played today era would of been a mega star
he was peaking at the warriors
Mustve been a gun at touch.. running full speed to scoop up the ball looked easy for him
Kick chase king
How did he NOT play for Australia? Did some one hate him?
I ❤ when he was scoring 🥧 with the 🐲
Phil was such a good player but never reached his full potential.
Better than Joey
Should have played for Australia.
Terry Lamb on Ellery Hanley 😴😴😴 was possibly a match winner of a tackle 🤣
True Warrior supporters would know who Phil Blake is 🤭🤣😂
#UPTHEWAHS
Should still have the kangaroo tour
Blake was a victim much like Michael O'Connor in union.
Manly 🦅 product out of Forrestville 🦦. One of the best ever.
