Meeting with Angus set to take place today both parties are keen

How do you know both parties are keen?

The player bashing will never end if brooks leaves you know for a fact the next target will be Jacko

Laurie has copped it badly even though he played very well last year and has improved this year after injury.

How can a club like WTs afford $150k albeit for a talented young player at that age.

They must have offered him a development contract. It's madness but I suppose that is what they have to do.

He has been relatively poor this season and he would be in the bottom 4 fullbacks in the comp.

I like the kid but I'm not sure he is the guy we need at fullback.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Doubt it … just hope the day Brooks goes his fan club will go as well

So @Magpie Spock where are you getting this info? This will be very disappointing if true.

The NRL need the Dolphins to succeed and at the very least be competitive. They will be picking off everyone's talent at over inflated prices.

Hopefully WT can get a deal done. Know from Angus side of things that he was the one that made contact first a week or so back.

Yeah that was the big shock to me once I found that out

It's more a long term question of is he good enough ?

He is definitely good enough without question

That is interesting in that I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Hope you never experience the problems associated with looking after some one with a disability. I would fear for their safety.

I have just watched our son's mother die from a terminal illness involving loss of cognitive function. The support she received from her carers, from medical professionals at St George and Calvary Hospitals was amazing. It really opened my eyes to the commitment of staff but also the desperate need for more funding.

Don't worry, PJ hasn't worked out that he sits next to a mirror.

Nah can confirm PJ benches 150

The forum was hoping the same when Chee Cam left

I don't understand what people get out of being a troll.

Laurie is up for contract renewal move him on for someone better then like S Crichton or Cobbo

I don't think that there is much money in Laurie's contract.

 

[Magpie Spock]

Good for the young man. Apparently this is how the NRL wants the game. The weaker clubs now have the juniors pilfered at a very young age by expansion teams.

Two promising juniors in Lochie Galvin and Ontini Large have apparently returned to us after being lured by the Eels and Roosters respectively. I think Lochie in Harold Matthews for Wests this year.

I hope I'm wrong but my gut feeling is we will get used like normal to increase his price elsewhere.. If he approached us I hope we put an offer to him and a deadline so we are not his fall back option.. I also don't mean under's either as I would feel comfortable up to 700k
