Daine Laurie #237

[TIGERPOWER]

A little bit of a young Benji on his body type but his game has a lot of Ewen McGrady

He reminds me of Ben Barba. The difference is he seems like a good kid with a brain in his head.


What are you basing that off? I’m guessing nothing

Google Ben Barba and you will see what he’s basing that of. He’s life has spiralled out of control since his success at the bulldogs.

...of all the times Moses Mbye and Corey Thompson dropped their lollies in big moments. Keep up the good work Daine.

Every time he gets the ball I’d jump to my feet. Different position but same feeling as watching the Larry Corowa.

My point wasn’t as much about Barba as it was about Laurie. Given all the recent players/coaches who have walked out on the club, you’d think people would learn and stop assuming they are of good character, cos you have no idea.

Laurie reminds me of....

What it is like to have a real fullback again.

Has a real Hodgson feel about him.

And what a great feeling it is.

I think it’s safe to assume he has a brain in his head. People that know him seem to think he’s on the straight and narrow. Maybe you assume the worst of people, but I’m happy to assume he’s not a wife basher until proven otherwise.

I don’t assume the worst, I just have no reason to assume he’s got a good head on his shoulders just because he plays a couple good games in our jersey. Cos really, that’s all you are going off

You sound almost upset that Laurie is doing so well. You weren’t that excited when we signed him and winning games doesn’t help your get rid of madge threads lol.

Absolutely devastated. I’m happy to stand by what I said when you look at recent history.

All massive forum favourites before they did what they did. You should know better than anyone, you thought Ivan walked on water. Point being, don’t presume to know their character, cos at a moments notice, any one of them could walk given the right circumstances. And don’t talk to me about contracts, cos our club has shown they’ll just roll over

Jesus man, I've heard of glass half empty but I don't think you even have a glass.

Maybe make a " future predicting lament thread" and leave this one for people that have found something to be slightly excited for which, being a tigers fan, is a rare occasion.

He’s going great. I’m all in favour for getting excited about what he’s bringing to the team. When it comes to people assuming his character though, based on recent experiences, I’m gonna call that out.

I’ll take that as you agree. Cheers

It's pretty clear the Panthers' identification, recruitment and development is outstanding. Edwards, Staines and Laurie are three very good young fullbacks all recruited from country NSW. We've made big improvements in these areas so let's hope we have the same success.

 

[walter]

The kids playing good attacking footy at the moment Defensively he’s 50/50 made some good tackles also had a few bad misses his test will come half way through the year when sides start to work out what he can And can’t do

 

[jirskyr]

I honestly cant recall a player EVEr coming and in looking as good as this kid......Bloody brilliant. Literally could be anything , what a steal!!!

James Tedesco surely

[hugh1954]

Love the way Laurie is performing, amazing that he has so much confidence after so few first grade experience BUT Boy it worries me that he will get injured often with that slim frame, hope he has Tedescos toughness and durability
