while Laurie isn't Tedesco ATM, IMHO he is about 14th issue we need to fix, there are many more glaring holes which are being around from the time of Tedesco, and even Hodgson!
Agreed. In a Panthers team that laps most teams they play, he always looks ordinary. No thanks.
this, in a stacked panthers team he plays average, imagine the quality he would produce behind our non existent pack and non SOO representative halves
Mid to late 90s in the juniors and then moved over to Eastwood Rugby come 16+. I think they still have juniors just no senior teams?
In fairness to him its hard to do a good job and develop your skills as a young player when there is a shit show in front of you every week.. We need to invest into forwards urgently that can make is easier for the back to excel.
So Gutho, Edwards, Pap, Drinkwater, TMM, Latrell are all behind Laurie? 😄
This is bullshit he is not at COE and will not be coming 100%.
100% bullshit, he is not coming.
That excuse doesn’t cut it for Brooks, so doesn’t cut it for Laurie either. I have said this about Simpkin in the past, but I think its true for Laurie too. Most young players at 21-22 are never complete players. They always have mistakes in them and their form will always fluctuate. However you will often see flashes of brilliance from them. Sam Walker and Reece Walsh are good recent examples of that. We’ve never seen that from Laurie. People will defend him, but I have never seen anyone point out one moment where he scored a brilliant try or set one up. He just isn’t that type of player. If he was, he‘d still be in the Panthers system.
Correct, all except Papenhuyzen😉
Jesus
Are you Cameron ciraldo ?
Mate I have to agree with that assessment. I look at other young talent around the NRL and there is a wow factor in a lot of there games or game changing plays but it doesn't happen here often.
Wow factor is an apt term. Laurie is severely lacking of that.
