just get rid of him… he is only signed for one more year at I assume a smallish deal…
I doubt anyone else would want him… but we need that extra Top 30 vacancy

Canberra are a waste of a finals spot.
They're the same standard as us. Swap Brooks for Wighton and we beat them every time.

There will be a few wasted spots. It’s a two horse race.

Are we seriously comparing Luai and Laurie?
May as well compare Nofa to To’o then too.

Yeah I’m seriously comparing Luai to Laurie.
By 2025 Laurie will be the better 5/8

They are a big physical side
Apart from that they really are crap
The emotion of Wighton leaving I think is helping them this year as he wants to leave with a premiership
They dominate at times like we do but fail to get points
They will slide big time next year with Wighton gone

They must mean Laurie Daley.

You have to hand it to Ricky getting that steaming pile of players to the finals.
That's coach of the year stuff.

Right after the Tigers move Bula to wing ?
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.
Do you think the Panthers would be a lesser team with Laurie playing 5/8 for them ?

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'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.)
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.

I think that’s very unlikely but if that happens we should fire everyone in recruitment and hire you.

we do play a physical brand of footy, in that we run hard and direct…
