Yeah I’m seriously comparing Luai to Laurie.Are we seriously comparing Luai and Laurie?
May as well compare Nofa to To’o then too.
By 2025 Laurie will be the better 5/8

They are a big physical sideCanberra are a waste of a finals spot.
They're the same standard as us. Swap Brooks for Wighton and we beat them every time.
They must mean Laurie Daley.Are we seriously comparing Luai and Laurie?

They are not there yet!You have to hand it to Ricky getting that steaming pile of players to the finals.
That's coach of the year stuff.

He won’t be getting moved to the wing as he’s now in a position of power being one of our better players, but he’d be a good winger no doubt.Right after the Tigers move Bula to wing ?
He's played 2 average and one slightly above average games so obviously we can compare him to someone who's won premierships and played Origin.When Cleary was out, Luai led the Panthers team around for wins. No chance in hell that Laurie can lead that team around without Cleary. Now ahead of C Walker as well. What next, NSW 5/8
You will see how it pans out with him playing in a quality team such as the Panthers.He's played 2 average and one slightly above average games so obviously we can compare him to someone who's won premierships and played Origin.
Let's just declare him an immortal now.
I mean I've read some rubbish over the years but that's a finalist for the dumbarse award without doubt. (Not you but who you were responding to.)
I think that’s very unlikely but if that happens we should fire everyone in recruitment and hire you.Yeah I’m seriously comparing Luai to Laurie.

we do play a physical brand of footy, in that we run hard and direct…Just did a count, teams that play us are 5 wins 12 losses the next round this season (didn’t count matches followed by a bye round). Warriors better be worried!

He'll be playing against the Magpies at Lidcombe.You will see how it pans out with him playing in a quality team such as the Panthers.
3 games at 5/8 for us and easily in out top 3 players each time.
To do that, make multiple line breaks, multiple try assists in a team with no idea how to attack is exceptional.
Ivan Cleary is sitting back licking his lips knowing they will not miss a beat if Laurie replaces Luai at 5/8 in 2025 and knowing the money they save by not re-signing Luai will help them retain their quality roster.
Gus Gould on 💯 Footy a few weeks back said he remembers seeing Laurie’s highlight video as a young 5/8 or halfback before he first signed with the Panthers and it was the best highlights video he has seen and he has seen plenty.The frustrating thing with Laurie was the determination to play him as a fullback for so long. It's not as if our 5/8 position was a position of power while he has been here. I realise a mix of injury & timing have limited his chances THIS season, but he could have been moved to 5/8 last year just as easily. Doueihi could JUST as easily have been shifted back to fullback. Now we see how effective Laurie CAN be, right before he leaves. My bet is he would have been considered our 'long term' 5/8 had we seen this last year. Good for him. I know he has copped a bit on here for some questionable decisions in the past, but some people march to a different drum. He's not a thug. He's not out raising hell. He just vibes with his old mates more than Tigers fans wish he would. If his heart was always in playing at Penrith, good luck to him. Wish it had worked out.
Just wish Gus had bent Madge's ear earlier about it.Gus Gould on 💯 Footy a few weeks back said he remembers seeing Laurie’s highlight video as a young 5/8 or halfback before he first signed with the Panthers and it was the best highlights video he has seen and he has seen plenty.
Gus has always been a big wrap for Laurie as a halve, I’m very surprised he didn’t sign him for the Bulldogs.
Laurie has only signed with the Panthers for one year at this stage, so if he makes as big an impression as I think he will, he will be in high demand for 2025.
Anyway both Sullivan and Fainu also have brilliant highlights videos, so let’s hope they they fulfil their potential while playing for Wests Tigers.
