I wouldn't mind seeing how Laurie goes in the halves....kid can play and has a bit of spark about him. We have JH and AD as our halves it would be the slowest half pairing in the comp

There is always a 48 hour cooling off period where he can backflip and join us hehe
I like Laurie, but only want to see him in the halves if its an actual positional shift that makes us stronger. I'm over seeing players moved as an experiment into a position and see them get shifted around all over the place. That's how we end up in the position we are at right now.

Laurie's defence needs to improve tenfold if he is to continue at fullback. He can tackle decently so it may not be an issue for him in the halves.
I do think he would make a decent five eighth as I think he has the right attributes, but one thing I will say in his defence at the back if the line did their job and didn't go missing in defence his life would be much easier.
Yep the issue with laurie's defence this year was that he was often having to make 3 times as many tackles as other fullbacks. Actually im fairly sure his MT % was better then Tedesco he just had to make a lot more per game. To me the key piece where he has to improve is defensive postioning
I'd like to see him closer to the action. I think he's a player who should get his hands on the ball more.
Laurie doesn't go looking for the game enough for me, doesn't compete hard enough...
It's a problem at 1, will also be a problem at 6
This is true. I guess if he's at 6 he's in the line all the time and should be involved though.
With all of them but, is there a clear alternative club for them?
Who do you see chasing Laurie/Doueihi/Hastings and offering better terms than the Tigers?
Me or you could stand there and shovel it on....
He'd have some work to do in 2nds before I'd give him a run there.

Hastings 7
Laurie at 6
this could work as Laurie is quick and I feel would play very attacking footy , Hastings there beside him with control and leadership
then add Appi ,this could be very good
Adam into centre
Pappi running off them , Blore as well
engine Room
Steph , klemmer , Pole , Lenui
Laurie at 6

It would be the definition of better terms. If we won't guarantee a player a position which is what they want they will see if another club can.
We aren't the only club looking for play makers and their is a shortage of them.

agree with that if Brooks does leave and Sheens lets it happen in 2023 they need to fit Staines and Laurie into the side.
Only way that is happening would be
7. Hastings
6 Laurie
3. Douhie
1. Staines
that is what some don't get, if a player wants to play a certain position they will leave or accept less to play a certain position.

Need the Pom to come in and update Klemmer Rumours , we all want him in our team , same with Lenui
bring in the updates Pom. Alway appreciate them
bring in the updates Pom. Alway appreciate them
I know lots can change between now and season 24 but as it stands Knights and Dogs are the only sides in the market for a 7. If we believe Brooks will be at the Knights that takes them off the table. And the Dogs 1st target is reportedly Sullivan. I don't see any teams looking to sign Hastings to be their 7.
No club would be currently looking for a 6 and it would be maybe only Dogs and Warriors looking for a fullback. Even then I see them both giving their current options a chance before looking elsewhere. But that is just how things stand now, the likes of Keary and Cody Walker aren't getting any younger but currently I don't see any club pursuing Doueihi, Hastings or Laurie in their preferred positions.

Yes ...don't disagree ...but the last place he will come back to is the WT's ...that would be admitting everything he did was wrong originally ...wouldn't it ??

Is he still making rep teams or is he not wanted by a club scrapping around the bottom 4?
Woods has the same accolades as klemmer! Do want him back in the team as well?
