[5] After the match, coach Michael Maguire said, "I don't think he's played a full game of footy for about 14 months now, to see him play the way he did it was welcome to first grade that's for sure. He played a lot of time too, I didn't expect him to play that much time but he hung strong and showed he can play at this level." [5] He made 5 appearances from the bench during the season, all losses.
Blore played a total of twelve games for the Wests Tigers in the 2021 NRL season as the club finished 13th and missed the finals. [6]
