Daine Laurie #237

[gallagher]

Just cut out the staying down to milk a penalty.

If other teams are doing it then we're playing at a disadvantage not doing it ourselves

Still soft and I don't like it.

Agree, but if Momorovski is going to claim a crusher when nobody was near is neck and gains a penalty, then I can cop Laurie staying down when actual contact above the shoulders is made.

Absolutely, if the other team goes down that path you gotta follow.

I don't like to race to the bottom.

I'm a bit torn too but it's not amateur sport. You cop a whack in the chops in dying stages of a game and a penalty will win you the game.. you don't stay down?
With 17000 red headed Leichhardtians demanding you do?

I'd prefer the Governing body to fix it so it is not happening.

Tough one to fix.

Not really, if you are unable to get up from a head knock you need a HIA off field.

Then they just stay down with a leg complaint.

Yeah some blokes will start heading out with blood capsules shortly

Loving Daine, but there is something not right when he "chimes in" in that block play role, second pass out the back. Something is not working whether its timing, not running hard/fast enough but when he gets that pass he always seems to get swallowed by the defence easily.

I was a (low level) fullback, but I cant put my finger on what the problem is, if I hard to guess, he isnt moving fast enough at that moment.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Noticed it a few times too but not sure what’s causing it. Maybe he’s running the wrong line or simply off timing?

Block plays are so 2019. They’re clunky and predictable if the halves don’t dig into the line. Defenders are just sliding off onto Laurie and he runs into a dead end.

Yeah that makes sense

Unless you do them perfectly they have lost much of their effectiveness.

I think it’s hesitation , and his first instinct is to step back in across the grain of the slide . It’s also what his 3rd it 4th game off of Mbye , which seems to be the most sloppiest side the left side looks dangerous most of the time .

all about execution. Brooks has been digging very deep into the line as of late which gives M'Bye time and space. Laurie's try was proof that they still have a place in the game, you just have to get it right. same goes with Souths' left edge. the block play is most certainly not dead when you have Walker, Latrell, Gagai and Johnston running it.

When you run a sweeping block play you need to get on the outside of the defender marking up and then straighten to create space and draw in another defender. If you don’t create the space you’ll either get run over the sideline or you need to turn a man back underneath. Laurie is just cutting his losses when the block play has not worked. It looks cumbersome because the edge defence has just done their job. Something we should be practicing regularly.

I think they still rely on defenders making the wrong decision too so that they’re effective. I also agree they’ve got to be run perfectly to force the defensive error though

Helps if you have a big strong unit like Latrell who attracts flies (defenders)

Spot on. Attacking threats are the key

We bought BJ to be that man but we should have kept the receipt.

To be fair BJ has looked better this year the more the season has progressed. He had some abysmal performances early but I think minus the HIAs he would have cemented a spot by now.

Rumoured we paid 600K for him, that’s a lot of Oporto

Could be a case of the multiple positional changes in front of him throughout the first part of the season. Last couple of weeks it's virtually been unchanged and therefore plays becoming more familiar etc. It's basically a completely new spine so cohesion will take time.

I agree, and I think the longer this spine sticks, the more lethal we will get

How much is daine looking at for rookie of year atm?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Superb. All-rounder. Love watching him play. Really safe under the high ball, takes up the ball, hits hard, puts body on the line considering a small bloke. Will only improve.
ONYA DAINE !! 🐯

He will be better with another off season under his belt... A bit more muscle and size 👌
