More talented?
Taia is younger than Laurie, is a more consistent footballer, alot less mistakes and penalties and alot more offloads, tries, metres, tackles, line breaks etc etc
2009 stats:
Taia
14 games
11 line breaks
4 tries
110m p/g
17 offloads

Laurie
7 games
1 line break
0 tries
75 p/g
5 offloads

laurie makes 75 pg? wow pretty good for a guy who plays 20 mins
what about u add the try assists or did u just do the stats that Taia leads in ?

the only reason this thread was made was so newcasrtle can mention taia

Pretty sure the media haven't said anything about Laurie being a superb player - merely that he is exciting to watch ... WHICH HE IS!

Remember that until 18 months ago he hadn't picked up a football in 2 years. Nobody expects him to be a superstar at the moment but his clash with Fui last week WAS great to see no matter how talented or untalented any of you believe him to be.

jesus christ mate is the thread about taia or laurie?

if you want to make a thread crying about taia's lack of publicity then do it.
I only listed Taia's stats because someone was saying how Laurie was so much better and more talented than Taia, which he isn't

Zeb Taia's brother is better than he is. :sarcasm:

Zeb's a good player. But Laurie is an exciting man-mountain who puts bums on seats.

Daine Laurie is alright.

He's got a bit of go about him which results in mistakes which he can work on and get out of his game.

It's easier to get stupid mistakes out of his game then try and put some mongrel into a kid.

no, you mentioned taia in your opening post.

basically what your doing is trying to get people to praise taia. however you know that if you started a thread about taia, no one would read it.

good thinking on your part actually.

daine laurie is from Yamba, and that makes him a good bloke.

Who was that Bulldogs player that came over from the Roosters, a fullback who was a bit slippery and had a massive step. I remember him (I think it was him) going over the tryline, tried to improve his position and got tackled and didn't score the try.
