Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Sounds like we're about to let Laurie go to Parra. He's no great loss but still probably our best fullback.

If we do let him go, who are we actually bringing to the club that upgrades the position?

This seems like Hastings all over again.

Wonder what we get in return if it happens.

I'm not really disagreeing with you, just that Miler has some real howlers in him.

The truth of it - I believe the Tigers think they already did sign the middle-tier players, guys like Joffa, Pole, Naden, Laurie. I think Tigers were hoping the higher-tier guys would take the team to a new level, but instead the best players are playing middle-tier and everyone else is playing horribly.

Eels forum reporting Laurie to join them after our clash on Monday..considering he seems to support all other teams except ours, in the words of Gus show him the door NOW

Probs nothing from Parra , they stand over us a the time when it comes to these things

I will point out to you that on the weekend Miller let a bloke score in front of him by defending the dead-ball line.

I did that once in touch footy…seeing that on the weekend brought up past trauma. Quite embarrassment 🤣

On a serious note, Douehi just let the player come to him for the first try, only metres from the tryline. Might as well have been defending behind it!

Probably an "undisclosed financial settlement" like Luciano and Mikaele last year.

Players player last season - morale must be great under the new regime.

I would rather they took Brooks and AD,Laurie is not going great but he is going better than Sheens pin up boys

Maybe we can get Jake Arthur if we send laurie to eels.

Better then what we got

Having Laurie is often like not having one. He is better than Douehi but won't really be missed.

This week my half paring is

6 Simpkins
7 Klemmer

14 Brooks

How about we give them Laurie on the condition they take Brookes & AD too & give us Gutho!

Hastings was much more influential on the team than Laurie. He also didn’t like opposition posts on Instagram and actually galvanised the team.

I'd take him for a year. Might not be the answer but as you said better than what we have.

It was mentioned a few different places on Twitter last week. InsideMan has jumped on the rumour today too.

Could be rubbish but he's in NSW Cup and liking other team's posts so there is probably something to it.

Laurie showed signs that could have been the next Preston Campbell or even Matt Bowen. But his inability to be able to be able to push up through the middle and link with the other players in the spine has been is Achilles heel. The best fullbacks in the game have the ability to run at pace all day, repeat effort on repeat effort. Laurie does not have that string to his bow.
I don't mind us clearing the decks through the backs, I just hope they have potential incoming players to fill all these spots, time will tell.

I agree on Laurie, he is like the polar opposite to Dylan Edwards. However, experience tells me we’ll let him go, then upgrade some 19 year old who’ll never quiet make the grade and we’ll do the same thing over and over.
