Similar to Fulton at the end of his career and Wade at sharks get concussed easily. Not good signs obviously

No it's pretty bad and quite a scary prospect. Thankfully people are aware of the long term effects these days and understand the bigger picture of a player's well being.

I've personally been knocked out quite a lot in my time and even sparring a few years ago would get a little rocked.

I once got coat hangered under a high ball (fullback) and was allowed to drive home despite the fact that I thought I lived "that way". About 25 years ago, but a sign of a positive change in thought.

John Morris did well with a good hard headed roster - nothing like what he will inherit if he came here, and can't see him attracting anyone to the club - no disrespect to him more a club issue.
I'd go Flannagan- he is the one most responsible for developing a winning culture at the Sharks and has plenty of friends in the media - and we need them off our back.

No thanks. Too much like Maguire

That excuse doesnā€™t cut it for Brooks, so doesnā€™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. Weā€™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 isnā€™t that type of player. If he was, heā€˜d still be in the Panthers system.

Laurie has about another 7 years of underperforming before we can compare him to brooks.
