The commonality with the Bulldogs and Wests Tigers is both teams are poorly coached.

I did say Laurie is the less experienced player,
How many tries have all the players.mentioned stuffed up?
Does anyone have the stats?

No where near as many, their teams win games of football due to their efforts. Laurie is a disinterested reserve grade standard bum. Huge difference.

Good kid watch him the last two years but if he keeps growing mite end up in the backrow
And or they lack key players in key positions like the teams that are successful always do.
Laurie has had a poor start but he is far and away the best fullback option we have. Unfortunately though, his playing style will never 'dominate' in a team like ours. Small bodied fullbacks like him really only dominate behind a really good pack. Our pack can't offload or put him through gaps etc, or get quick play the balls.
He also has no good options to hit from a play making perspective. Whats he going to do, hit a flying Seyfarth steaming onto the ball at 100km an hour?

That guy runs away from holes
Spot on mate... You put him into a top 4 team that has players that care he would be doing wonders.
He was - and was still ordinary…
So they let him walk

IMO He’s a confidence player down on confidence. He has some natural ability and skills but hasn’t learned the art of fullback in attack or defence.

I felt our team got a lot worse and became a lot less threatening with Laurie not out there. He may not be the best fullback in the league but he's probably our best backline player.

That and looks like Brooks has now completely checked out mentally. Our two most likely players to create something in attack are not in the game.

Of course i wasn't comparing Laurie with those players i just provided some stats for a particular reason,
And that is while Laurie is a relatively new fullback he's number of try assists were equal to Tedesco and the others, we are not acknowledging this with our young players together with the good talents that they have already shown us,
i'm sure when Tedesco was with us he failed to score a few tries by dropping the ball, didn't he?
Tedesco now is a superstar,
I think Laurie will be one too

Can people stop comparing our current crop to Tedesco please. There is lightyears between him and our nuffies.
Grow a clue!!
Momirovski is a liability at any club he has played for!
Cannot make a single one-on-one tackle at centre - slow as a wet weak - and a jinking non-penetrative attacking game!
Look at his game at FB for us & the pathetic non-tackle attempt for the try the try that won the game!
Look at the game he lost us by shanking an easy goal kick under pressure!
He sucks!!
Sheens found the likes of Noa Nadruku in rugby 7s + Ruben Wiki - Quentin Pongia & John Lomax from NZRL park footy and the list goes on........
And won a premiership with them in 1994!
He has more knowledge and genuine feel for rugby league than anyone on this forum or within the club!!!
Do yourself a favour & meet the man - he will talk league for hours regardless of whether you are a CEO or his garbo!!
Great man!
