A good player that was always entertaining to watch. He wasn't world class, but had that old school style that IMHO is sorely lacking these days. He was the last player I saw actually attempt to decline a penalty for a high shot on him, or something. He appeared to be saying... "Nah, ref, don't worry about it. I'm fine. Didn't hurt. Let's keep playing." I miss the big galoot.

Last thing I remember of him was when I was playing reggies in 2010 in group 6.

His brother was playing for our 1st grade team and got into a fight during a game. Dane was hammered and tried to run onto the field to get involved.

I had actually forgotten about him, but I do remember him at the Tigers. I didn't know he was troubled off the field though.

"Troubled NRL player Daine Laurie is in jail for serious charges including wounding with intent to murder, reports www.dailytelegraph.com.au.

Laurie, 32, went to Coffs Harbour Local Court last week for two alleged shootings.

He is alleged to have fired a firearm at a house in Nambucca Heads on October 28, 2016 that injured two people.

The prop forward made his NRL debut for the Wests Tigers in 2008. He then joined the Panthers in 2010 and then Newcastle for one year in 2012."

I'm sure he'll be grateful for your concern.

He was sent off in a reserve grade final playing for the St Marys Cougars against Newtown I think. They were about 12 behind at the time. With 12 men, they ended up running away with the game.

Apparently the Herald up in Newie wrote an article with him as a 'former Knights player' having played only a pre-season trial and handful of NSW Cup games for them... Nathan Brown gave it to the journo in question in last night's post-match

tbf it is the local newspaper up there and he was part of the club.

Would be a different story if the Daily Tele or SMH wrote an article and only mentioned that he was with newy ignoring the Sydney clubs he played for.

I get that but it did seem an unnecessary link, especially when it has no material impact on the club right now - a club already struggling for good PR

Watching the schoolboy cup on fox atm and the fullback for Patrician Brothers Blacktown name is Daine Laurie. 'Daine' is even spelt the same dumb way, pretty unfortunate for the kid if he were to go somewhere with his RL career. He has a hatrick before half time too.

So he isnt a former Knights player ?
He never made a first grade appearance for them - so to write an article where half of it explains the tenuous link seems a little bit pointless and yes, a bit shit.

Daine Laurie,Jamal Idris and Tony Williams 3 players hyped up because they were big but in actual fact none of them had any ability at all.

wouldn't they just add a few more to the list and mistake his name for dean laurie?
