Daine Laurie #237

[the_third]

Every other club releases players from their final year contract to take up another deal..Rabbits let Sirro go to the warriors today, yet no club releases player to join the Tigers.....???

just makes them angry when they join us. Bring. It. on.

Interesting fact: Daine will only be the second Daine Laurie to play for weststigers.

Interesting fact: Daine will only be the second Daine Laurie to play for both Tigers and Panthers.

Laurie is a smart buy.Better for the Tigers in 2022 as we will have plenty of money and cap space then. Gives us the chance to buy other players now.

 

[Russell]

Is he fast???

Who's a well known player he could be compared to?

Similar player to Moylan imo

Can we renege on the contract then.

 

[Russell]

So we like Pascoe, Lee and Madge again?

2 out of of 3 aint bad ?

You still holding a grudge against Madge? Lol

Dunno how that ended

Wrote earlier about not caring too much about getting Daine earlier for next season based on being a youngster like Stephano and being able to develop elsewhere for another year. Having checked up on him, I now see him as more similar to Harry Grant at the beginning of this year, in that he is already 21 and ready for the top grade, having also been missing opportunity stuck behind a talented bunch at his club.

Watched the replay of the first 35 minutes of his first run on game in the last round of this year on NRL.com when they rested players and he did enough to suggest he belongs in the top grade now. Not easy to play 80 minutes at fullback or hooker first up and especially so in a Covid season when not having played for six weeks after a couple of cameo appearances of the bench.

Smallish player, but not much shorter than JAC that we were were considering to play at the back and will be closer weight and fitness wise after another off-season, so I now hope that Penrith with their crazy depth there, will do the right thing by him in granting a release.

For those that are interested I noticed that Tribal League 2020 competition is live on NITV. Not sure if Daine or James are involved in this particular format but a lot of familiar names getting a mention.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

How fast is he?

 

[bathursttiger1]

How fast is he?

A bit faster than Packer.

 

[hank37w]

Wow.
Can he run 30 metres a game?

How likely is the swap with Zak Cini and Daine Laurie going to happen? Would love to see daine at tigers in 2021

The charges being discussed were for old DL not young DL

The_POM mentioned yesterday that there are some barriers to this swap

 

[sleeve]

Its debatable if Cini swap is worthwile,we don;t know as yet if Laurie is cut out for FB after just a couple of games,but no doubt a talent,We get him next year anyway.Penrith are not silly,they obviously see something in Cini.I suppose the club is the best judge they would spend hrs watchin videos etc.
