Have you ever seen something so low :imp:

A touch of Karma would be nice

Byron Bay you are an embarrassment. If you have nothing positive to say about Laurie RIP the n just show some respect and keep your opinion to yourself
 
I don't think that's a Wests guernsey, is it? Lovely to see the principal defending the perpetrators.

If you think that…

I can't actually believe you wrote that about one of the nicest, honest and genuine people that have ever supported the Tigers through tick and thin.

Easy to criticise someone that has passed and cannot defend themselves.

Give yourself a Laurie Nichols uppercut.

You are the embarrassment.
 
Before he cops too much of a hiding, I understand how Laurie could be considered an embarrassment… if anyone bar himself carried on like a pork chop as Laurie did, you would think they had a dozen too many schooners... maybe even on the pipes...

Its hard to understand that a guy as passionate as he was, was given the access he was to pump the players up. I would run out of fingers and toes the times he was allowed into the rooms to ooze his passion, yet high ranking officials were barred from the rooms at the very same moment for not being important enough when the chips were down... even though the big wigs were paying the bills.

Laurie was a bit spesh... but he was ours.
 
As a tigers fan I'm more embarrassed it happened in NZ. Nothing to do with the tigers, just some dick head in NZ. yeah we have some wrong uns

Unfortunately it was a Tigers jumper with Wokka on the sleeves, probably from 2006, I doubt that he is a fan as it's probably just a hand me down seeing as it's 8 - 9 years old.
 
But Vaughn Couillault, the principal of James Cook High in south Auckland, says the reaction to Tuesday's incident is ill-informed, overblown, and has already had a disastrous impact on the students.
>
"It didn't go well," Mr Couillault, who says the disabled student had "gotten in his classmates' faces" before the camera started rolling, told 3NEWS.
>
"It went really badly on every level, actually.
>
"However what that video doesn't show that as soon as it happened, the two boys involved in making it happen realised their wrong and instantly went to his aid and picked him up and got him some help," Mr Couillant said.

not as bad as the video suggests
 
I must need another flogging. I used to like him but when wanting to watch a try replay the camera would go on Laurie instead of the replay or the players. Well that only has to happen a few times to get sick of. Must be similar for non Tiger fans as well I imagine.

In that video from England he is boxing away and the crowd was completely ignoring him watching the game instead???

Maybe let people that have passed on R.I.P. eh.

There are plenty of people still out there that are an embarrassment to have a go at.

You could start with Roach, Elias a heaps of others.
 
Loved Laurie

And that's coming from someone from the other side of the venture

Seeing him over in England still in his singlet supporting the Aussies while still in his singlet still stirs my heart

Transcended rugby league , should be held as an icon for the game
 
Back in the 1988 ( I was 15) my friend and I were lucky enough to spend an hour with Laurie walking from central station to the SFS. While I was a Magpie fan, Wally Lewis was also my hero. I remember asking Laurie about Wally and he said he was a great player and a great bloke. I remember thinking to myself "I wasn't expecting that" He couldn't have said enough nice thing about him. This was a time where every NSWelshman hated Wally with a passion.

This just shows the quality of the man.

Absolutely Happy.

An icon of the game - agree totally.
 
Laurie was a real "one off", a legend who enhanced every game he attended in support of his beloved Tigers. Although I was a Maggies fan in those days, you couldn't fault his incredible passion. Great man!
