He will come good , played well last year until injured , he has no one to run off 8n attack as our guys are not breaking the line or making gaps we just run up get tackled 5 times then kick it to there fullback
Daine Laurie #237
- Thread starter MarySt
- Start date
I can't count the amount of line breaks that have been made where he's no where to be seen....
Barely ever see him following up through centre field.
In turn, I don't often see him in defence when a try is scored either... It's always someone else covering across - Usually Brooks.

Well, if we are not looking not the playing style/culture, but just at individual player performances and expectations in their roles - then an inept fullback is one of the biggest problems a team can have.

Is he any relation to Starford To'a?
Wasn’t it last season that he supposedly ”lost” the dressing room ,doubt he’d get it back over the off season, even Tamou was quoted saying that Madge hadn’t changed anything?

Buzz Alert
The Wests Tigers playing-group culture is under question yet again following revelations two players were seen gambling on poker machines at a Newcastle pub on the night before the club’s humiliating loss to the Newcastle Knights.
Fullback Daine Laurie and centre James Roberts left the team hotel and were at the Great Northern Hotel until around 10pm.
The Wests Tigers were thumped 26-4 the next day by an understrength Knights team that was missing Dave Klemmer, Kalyn Ponga, Daniel Saifiti and Jayden Brailey.
Revelations that two players were out the night before, albeit not drinking alcohol, is sure to anger Wests Tigers members and fans after their shocking performance.
It says a lot about a poor attitude at the club both on and off the field.
While they have done nothing seriously wrong, it adds speculation and a perception that all is not well amongst the playing group at Concord.
The Daily Telegraph was alerted to the incident by a Knights fan who wrote in an email:
“I was at the Great Northern Hotel Saturday night before Knights vs Tigers. Was very surprised to see Daine Laurie and James Roberts at the pub having a go at the slappers at 9pm. Made me very confident as a Knights fan. I’d be very disappointed if I found out Knights players did that before a game. I think the performance from both showed the care factor of zero on the Sunday.”

Yes he should've had them tucked up on bed going over the game plan🤩🤩🤩🤩
I guess that's a facetious comment but it is a bad look and comes on top of any number of 'bad look' incidents over the past couple of years or so. I have no doubt the culture of the club is very poor and not reflective of a professiuonal sporting club. When I think about culture it should come from the head of the organisation. In the respect I believe Pascoe has failed to develop and sustain a winning culture in the club and should be shown the door.

Haha yeah. They weren't drinking so this is a non-issue. But the media will get stuck into us any chance they get.

Seriously, why is it a "bad look"? Other than pokies are a disgusting parasitic pastime, the report says that our players were at a pub NOT drinking alcohol and home by 10.
Seriously if we were told that two of our players did not drink alcohol and were in bed by 10 the night before the game, why should any of us have a problem?
Seriously?

Which bit is a "bad look"? Being home by 10, not drinking alcohol or playing pokies?
