If thats the truth,u wonder why he didnt get a start at 6 over Laurie??

Yes, you wonder ?

He has played center all season in state cup.

I was his biggest critic, but he has improved a lot and been by far our best attacker.

His defense is poor...but no worse than Talau.

Let's pray Laurie can unlock his inner Ewan McGrady, inner Cliff Lyons, gee I'd even take Paul Davis.

Was Paul Davis the guy who used to take ridiculous field goal attempts for Balmain? Like we'd be up by 2 points with 90 seconds left and he'd try to put one over from 45m out?

Its just another nail in the coffin of Shenjis coaching credibility tbh..Laurie has done very little in KOE and really hasnrt "earnt"a promotion,whereas Reilly..what more can he do?
Im figuring regardless of respective performances that Reilly has been written off and Laurie offered a one year extension??These are desperate times for WTs..yet .again.Probably moreso than the Madge era
Think they may be worried that Laurie will go to another club and perform well..just like Brooks will probably do playing outside DCE.
That combination of Brooks/Laurie doing well wld be a poor reflection of Shenjis coaching skills or lack theref,which really doesnt need any further confirmation..how many games have we won again..?Oh yes,less than anyone else..

A few weeks after totally wiping the Cowboys off the park the betting market has the cows red hot $1.20 favourites and Tigers $4.60 longshots seems to be a reflection on how much we have fallen in a few weeks .
Missing from the 17 from that game are Joffa , Brooks , Api and Talau and Pole moved from 13 to bench
Incoming Laurie ,Naden , Blore Simpkin
Is that enough to move a team that can put on 66 pts to absolute longshots ?
Don't think so .

He was about 20kg over weight number six. On his day he could do anything, but those days only happened every two months. Still loved watching him play. Can’t remember the field goal attempt, but it was a few years ago and my memory is slowing down

 

[Stevec]

You know we've got depth issues when we pick Laurie and Wakeham as the half's and for the life of me I can't what else we could do that's better .
Sorry but just can't see any members of our Cup side who conceded 46 pts to Dragons last game as able to make the big jump to NRL .
The Dragons cup side are one of the bottom teams !

 

[Winston Churchill]

Would be a better looking side if Matamua and James were named over AJ and the plod Twal on the bench.

So much for building for the future hey Sheensy.

Oh I remember the overweight bit. I remember him as a prototype Owen Craigie. Massive talent but eratic.

 

[tig_prmz]

Laurie playing for his career you'd think. If he can't sustain a spot at Tigers, it's likely he isn't getting a shot from other NRL teams either.

There is potential there so let's see...

 

[bathursttiger1]

Keen to see how Daine goes at #6, reckon he will offer a lot more in attack but we will see a few passes go to ground.
I'm sure the torches and pitchforks will be out in force by 7.30 saturday

I would find it hard if he didn’t offer more than we showed against the Storm.

 

[colinbh]

Im predicting almost the opposite.

You would.

 

[Telltails]

The thrashings are coming. Our season shaping up to be a copy of the last
Same same just some of he names have changed.

They had a draw against the leaders!

Yes, but saved their blow out v Dragons for the opening of the Tommy stand at Lidcombe and presentation of the Roy Masters Cup.
We really know how to honour our past heroes, don’t we !

I don't remember him ever doing that. He was an overweight aboriginal 5/8 with a heap of natural talent. Would have been 92/93
