Daine Laurie having a blinder for Penrith and Tommy Talau 4 tries for Manly
2 more Tiger rejects many wanted them gone . I thought they were both talented footballers .
We sure know who to keep and who to reject
We sure ain't "John West "

You really think anyone still supporting this club at this stage is a bandwagoner?
When it comes to bagging players absolutely. See it all the time. Some one targets a player and then it becomes tenfold. Papalli, Bateman both copped plenty on here for weeks and you would have to be blind freddy to not see how much they are missed. Laurie and Talau were prime targets last season -;was very few lamenting when they signed elsewhere
 
Laurie runs for a whooping 355 meters in the game today.
There is one thing for certain. Wests Tigers has no problem with talent identification in recruitment.
Where we go wrong is developing.
only 2 years back we had Laurie, Blore, Talau all suggesting that they are going to band together and turn the club around. Laurie is deemed too small and slow for a fullback, Blore too slow and cumbersome for a back-rower and can only play in the middle and Talau deemed a backrower in making as he was too slow and ineffective as an outside back.
You could argue all three would probably make more of a difference to the side we have today and would have remained on modest contracts.
 
I remember Talau for us getting into a stink with klemmer helping him... Against Newcastle at half time... Game was over players leaving the field Talau started something I think with Hastings.
I'll discipline back then just like we've seen the last few months = players frustrated here and take it out on the field.
Talau looks 5 x the player he was here... As others have said they could see a good player in him during his time here the coaches just cannot bring it out.... In ANY of our players
Very frustrating to watch it week in week out our ex players at other clubs kicking onike we'd hoped... And then we get on here and some carrying on like opposition supporters having a crack at members venting their frustration at the club they love... Pretty weak imo waiting for people when they're at a vulnerable emotional moment

Yep - I could go on and on about the frustration of losing Laurie and Talau. But they are both history now and I suspect there a few more yet to come who we will be shoulda couldaing about before things improve - spare parts club of the competition. May not end up world beaters but FG quality players that other clubs continue to get great value from. Dont recall many fans thinking it was a poor decision to move them on so we can finger point at the club for poor judgement for plenty of things but we also have history as fans of unrealistically piling on players who struggle to thrive in a poor squad.
