Watch the Laurie/Blake swap happen...we pay for Laurie's 30% that we've already paid for him to be at the Eels, and pick up the difference in Blake's contract for essentially a Slimey's double dipping success....
The only 1st grade standard we have played this year was the first ten minutes against the Titans, where we had them on the ropes playing attacking footy but opted for the two points....sums it all up.
You couldn't make this stuff up....
Nor is he a 7 or 6. Has shown no orgnizational skills, his defence is poor and his attitude worse. Sure the current 7 and 6 don't have these skills either but at least they've played in the positions before so on occasions may do something worthwhile..
I actually don't think it's a bad idea, papali, I don't feel wants to be here, hopefully we can get 2 much needed backs as a swap
Te Maire Martin and Lachlan Ilias are a couple of others that come to mind.
I agree, but it's best to cut him loose. Atm for where we're at we are in a huge need for a massive culture overhaul. Honestly his attitude sucks and it will finally make an example and set some standards about what is expected of the guys putting on a Tigers jersey. It's tough to let him go but in my eyes it's time the Tigers grew some teeth internally and start making the tough calls. Short term pain for long term gain. He might win a comp else where, but he can be added to the list of others who have left and kicked on, what's one more. But we can use the opportunity now to start going about setting the culture of accountability and commitment to the jersey right.
We do need a ball playing half
do you think Sheens realises that yet?
Of course we do
I agree with this. This would play out terribly for us. If it was an option Tigers should throw a decent contract at the kid. Not Moses/Wighton money but just enough to entice him over.
Is that like a Hastings that we didn’t need 😂
he needs a black board, chalk and repeat one thousand times "we need a ball player 7 with a kicking game"
But if Laurie never gets a shot in his natural position, that he's played most of his footy in since he was a kid, then how do we know how he'll go there? Given how terrible our other halves have been surely it's worth a shot before we let him go
