Should we be going after Daine Laurie 👀

I've been thinking,this guys to good to not have a club and with him saying he d be open to any club.He could be so handy for us with simonson possibly on the out and dunster gone,he can cover so many positions and would be a great depth option and he wouldn't cost a lot.What do youse think?

  • theres certainly plenty of upside - he has speed, only 27, coming from penrith system know how to defend, he has a pretty good work ethic (averaged 16 hitups from 9 games / 148m per game / 3.3 tackle breaks) 

  • I like Laurie. I'd take him. Before him though I'd try to secure Jake Averillo. If we can't get Averillo then yep let's try grab Laurie

  • On a reserve grade contract? Maybe, but he would have to offer something a younger player can't. Personally I prefer to see the Cup side filled with young players with potential. 

  • I'd like him here. I said in the Cody Ramsay blog that we need a versatile back that can cover back 5. 

    Our starting back 5 look set, at least for 2026, unless Simonsson comes back big in contention. But baring that, we need 1 player, even 2 depending on departures, to be able to cover the back 5. 

    Twidle, Nanva and Richie Pensini are currently 3 of the Cup back 5. Loizou, Tago can stay, and if they do, maybe we need one more. But if one of Loizou/Tago leave, or both, we need to sign two players IMO.

    Laurie and Ramsay would be great. Corey Allan too for 1 year is OK. Someone like that. 

  • Pity he is a dickhead

    • Is he? I don't get that vibe. Great player.

       

  • Yeah I said it before the Panthers grabbed him, far more upside than downside to having a cheap bloke that can play multiple positions. 

  • Yes

  • Not needed.

    Money would be better spent elsewhere.

  • no, IMO we need a couple of top quality forwards
