Who?

 

[Guest]

It was just a matter of time.

 

[derailed]

Not surprised…interesting how they did not elaborate on it but I would guess that he went walkabout again.

Shame because the kid had the potential and opportunity to become a regular first grader.

 

[Marshall_magic]

He had the physical attributes but if he had another brain cell it would get very lonely.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I feel sorry for his young family more than anyone else. Wouldn't be surprised if he just disappears back to Yamba now.

 

[Demps]

Don't rly care.
It's his own fault !

 

[GoldXR50Leroy]

I for one was very disappointed when the Tigers cut him, it's very hard for a white fella like us to understand the Aboriginal psyche and very easy to categorise him as going 'walkabout'.
Sadly he has now been released by the Panthers and hopefully he will be picked up by a club more sympathetic to indigenous players, perhaps being picked up by the Knights with Wayne Bennett coming on board in 2012 would be a good fit, he would be closer just that little bit to home and have a coach that understands players like Daine.
As much as I love our club we don't exactly bend over backwards to help Aboriginal players fit into the system yet we have an over abundance of Polynesian players who have their own way of going walkabout

As I am of Aboriginal descent I feel I can comment with some knowledge of the "psyche"?

What needs to be done is some MANNING UP ON DANES BEHALF! Work hard for what you want, Work hard for your family and then the rewards will come your way DON'T EXPECT THINGS TO BE JUST GIVEN TOO YOU!

 

[Easy_Tiger]

well said gold leroy…..im not a fan of the gone walk about again comment daine laurie has got problems ive never seen preston campbell or scotty prince go walk about....anyway we could do with a few more aboriginals in our side very talented obviously and they are the original australians afterall...........laurie is such a waste of talent......

 

[Easy_Tiger]

daine needs help…

 

[Spartan117]

Well said prop…

So many great players before him have set a high standard

All about hard work.

 

[LARDS]

Aboriginal or not it's a mans resposibility to look after his family.
Its time for him to man up.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

You reap what you sow. This has all come about due to a piss poor attitude.

he was reportedly drinking on a flight to auckland and was on his last warning hence why he was cut

 

[tigers05]

some people never wise up even after they have been given a second chance. I dont feel sorry for him he now might have to work for a living like the rest of us that may help him wise up.

You can lead a horse to water…...........then you drown the bastard................

Being aboriginal shouldnt cone into it. Tigers would select or sack someone based on their race. If we want to be sterotypical then we could say that that has effected his behaviour/drinking and whatever, but thats not the Tigers responsibility, its his, and if he cant control it then we and penrith did the right thing.

I thought he was in France anyway?

Beautiful place Yamba Shame at times he looked like he might make it . Just goes to show the it takes talent , hard work and determination to succeed to make it in NRL . Talent alone won't do it .

Don't quote me on it, but I think he was in France in the pre-season or beginning of the season. Smeg probably knows.

I hate to see this but I feel it was always on the cards.
I saw Daine at the Wolves qualifier to get into the GF last year.
He was sitting on the ground, pissed as drinking a VB can…
Not playing through suspension I believe.
Steve Georgallis walked in and nearly fell over....
Hardly the make up of a proffesional footballer... It was always going to be his issue
