I remember exactly early 2nd half a bomb coming down 5m from our line Laurie and a couple of other tigers just watched it .Tigers reject Sam McIntyre picked it up and scored and it was a bad one but only one he didn't go for .It was a bad error but one error
Weve lost 6 in a row he only played first 2

he is not the dynamic fullback needed to get to the semis. too much in and out of game, does not hover around looking for opportunities. Check out Heath Mason's game last Sunday... already positionally far superior.

Please refrain from making generalising statements about different ethnic backgrounds.
I'm not sure what the objective of the Wests Tigers Indigenous Pathways program was but even the Australian Education system include cultural responsive frameworks (and other resources) to guide Educators teaching ATSI and ESL students.
It's not uncommon or diffucult to understand people from different backgrounds have different barriers.
IMO this is more than helpful when facilitating the educational needs of students and it should not be frowned upon or criticised.
Educators are unable to apply certain strategies without these inclusive and responsive pedagogies. Therefore, I'd say the aim is pretty much the same and there is absolutely nothing wrong with helping a kid fulfil their potential by catering to their individual needs.

Sorry couldn't help but laugh at your last two words 😂
Do we coach for it.
Brett Hodgson used to let balls bounce a lot and maybe Laurie got it off him.
Laurie's skills at fullback were wrong. That is a drop to reggie's for 2-3 weeks get those skills back.
^Yet Laurie appears to have taken it hard, was on the "outer" and not able to deal with this. Yes that is on him, yes that is on the coaching staff as well.
Laurie needed to fix some basics at fullback.
No good dragging his bottom lip.
He was offered a 1 year only extension under where he's currently at, Has basically been able to sign for another club for the best part of 6 months (With no takers) And has now been dropped to reserve grade.
After Staines last game, and Bula been bigged up all offseason and able to play in 2 weeks....
It doesn't look great for him.
Maybe it's not only Sheens and half the posters here that don't see a future with Daine at Fullback?
Reality don't consider feelings sometimes....

Laurie was injured then Sheens didn't bring him back when fit. Talau was also injured.

To me he tries really hard, but drops the ball too much as a fullback and isn't quick enough either. He'd make a better halfback IMO, but then he's in the line defensively and I'm not sure he'd handle that.
Sprinkle in some stupid social media posts that completely lack awareness, and my conclusion is that he's not good enough to stay in the rebuild.

After Staines pretty good performance marred by one horrible drop of a parra drop out .
Note im not holding that against him unlike when Laurie let the Titans bomb bounce
I'm happy that we've found our fullback in Staines so for gods sake leave him there let him grow into the position and stop moving him around !
Regarding Laurie we've got our FB but I feel he's got some instinctive footy skills and wonder if he could be used in the half's

Ah, yee olde method and principles of teaching.
Did you learn that while trying to research what the hell it is the coaching staff have been doing all offseason?
I can remember the glowing 🥰 endorsement on here from Our Club re Laurie when he was signed.
Unfortunately, imo he hasn't lived up to that reputation

Certainly true for the past couple years, but I think the team this year presents a prime opportunity for a kid to come in a just play to their strengths.
Staines has shown the way, play simple footy at speed and good things will happen, and Tupou is showing us what a young fella with natural ability should be able to do off the back of that type of play.
