Hastings was much more influential on the team than Laurie. He also didn’t like opposition posts on Instagram and actually galvanised the team.Sounds like we're about to let Laurie go to Parra. He's no great loss but still probably our best fullback.
If we do let him go, who are we actually bringing to the club that upgrades the position?
This seems like Hastings all over again.
I'd take him for a year. Might not be the answer but as you said better than what we have.Maybe we can get Jake Arthur if we send laurie to eels.
Better then what we got
It was mentioned a few different places on Twitter last week. InsideMan has jumped on the rumour today too.Sounds like?

I agree on Laurie, he is like the polar opposite to Dylan Edwards. However, experience tells me we’ll let him go, then upgrade some 19 year old who’ll never quiet make the grade and we’ll do the same thing over and over.Laurie showed signs that could have been the next Preston Campbell or even Matt Bowen. But his inability to be able to be able to push up through the middle and link with the other players in the spine has been is Achilles heel. The best fullbacks in the game have the ability to run at pace all day, repeat effort on repeat effort. Laurie does not have that string to his bow.
I don't mind us clearing the decks through the backs, I just hope they have potential incoming players to fill all these spots, time will tell.
He's clearly better than Doueihi at the position and it's not really close. Unless we're going to play Staines at fullback, I don't get why he's not in first grade.
I reckon at 63( 64 in October) he’ll be comfortable in a GM Football role.Good idea.
I reckon he needs a challenge, & he couldn't get a bigger one!!!
You're not saying he's too old are ya?I reckon at 63( 64 in October) he’ll be comfortable in a GM Football role.
He’s probably watching his old coach’s decline and saying that’s not for me.
I wish he’d come but he won’t.
Seems that Sheens will scrub a player if he doesn't like them personally. Did so with Hastings because he flew himself to the GC last year and is doing so with LaurieSheens has put a line through Laurie being here beyond this year, Doueihi won’t be at the club past 2024 and the comments regarding Brooks earlier in the week weren’t promising for his stocks either. Wakeham’s on a 1 year deal as is and will likely go back to being depth once this nightmare of a year is over.
he’s trying to turn over the roster but sadly these things don't happen overnight.
Good defence doesn’t necessarily mean minimal missed tackles.There were 3 missed tackles between the starting forwards. I feel they work quite well as a unit defensively. Definitely compared to last years squad. I’m not sure why you want to drop them as well using defense as the marker?
I agree that continually swapping positions is not very productive. But I still disagree in this case that we continue to pick and stick with an option at 1 that was already tried and failed under a previous coach and is obviously not working the second time around. If douehi strings 3 good games together at 1 then be happily persuaded.
Blake. Betcha!Wonder what we get in return if it happens.
No, not saying he’s too old for a proper club, but too old for cleaning up a place like the Wests Tigers. And he has had terrific management at the Storm.You're not saying he's too old are ya?
I think he's still young in comparison.
Can we find an email address for him...I'll beg him if I have too...mow his lawns for free...wash his car...paint his house...?
Probs nothing from Parra , they stand over us a the time when it comes to these things
