according to someone in the camp DL is out of the tigers den,while not wanting to put the house on it ,it looks like the big fella has finally had enough.last weeks ,and this weeks non selection has really done the damage , and he is off.

I will not say were he will end up(i have been given the likely destination) but it looks unlikely to be a sydney based team.

teflon EGO finally gets what he wants.

If this info is genuine I will be very disappointed in the tigers management,seeing as it's looking like we will be also losing galea but,keeping PAYNE WTF!!!!....as I said i hope this info is not true because i can see this guy killing us next time we meet considering our lack of firepower upfront...............shame EGO, shame robbie your in for a sh*t fight next time you meet him on the field..............I can see a storm brewing

Interesting. I heard a whisper that was very similar to what you`re saying, but was hoping it wasn`t true.
We certainly do lack fire power in the forward pack, without looking at any stats, i`m nearly certain we`d be dead last in line breaks and tackle breaks made by our fowards. Not including hookers in this as i`m talking about running forwards, we only have 2 in our regular 17 being Gareth Ellis and Keith Galloway who really worry the opposing side when they run the ball !

For crying out loud, teflon is getting ready to leave the team in twelve months worse than when he started!!
Please WT save Daine from the wrath of Sheens & from all the clubs that can see his potential

I like how every single thing that's negative is OMG TEFLON's fault. Laurie's no saint behaiviour wise, but of course he was a choirboy before OMG TEFLON OMG got his hands on him.

I'd love DL to stay, but unless I see all you OMG TEFLON OMG bashers on one of our league clubs doorsteps rallying for his head insead of whinging about it on a forum, I really can't take you lot seriously. If you truly believe it, stand up for it!

if you can't catch a chest pass with an open tryline in front of you, don't talk yourself up.

if he leaves, i hope someone signs him for big coin.

Good riddens to him. im sick of every tiger fan having a winge about Laurie not playing. His size means s*&t. He does not perform and for the limited time he plays he should. Stats,

Keith Galloway 2009
Runs - 157
Metres - 1425 for average of 9.07m
Missed Tackles 17 in 14 games - 1.2 per game

Bryce Gibbs 2009
Runs - 268
Metres - 2164 for average of 8.07m
Missed Tackles 25 in 21 games - 1.19 per game

Daine Laurie
Runs - 83
Metres - 615 for average of 7.4m
Missed Tackles 22 in 10 games - 2.2 per game

You know theres something wrong when Bryce Gibbs outplays someone.

The important stat that does not get recorded is how many times he has stuffed up the defensive line by not knowing where to stand.

I wish him the best, but i dont want him at the Tigers.

I dont mind whether he goes or stays- he is certainly a work in progress. The question always is/was when will he knock the rough edges off his game. If he cant do it at WT under Sheens I hope he can do it elsewhere as he certainly has a great appeal.

I would like to keep him for one more year to see if he can develop.

Tom Shines has said that he is yet to have a full off season of training....

He needs to improve his fitness big time though to make it anyhere in the NRL...

No big loss there im fine with him leaving, if he isnt paitent or dedicated enough to committ to not only the club but himself then so be it.

For years this club has been throwing big $$ at blokes who could 'potentially' be good some day.... this is the thinking that got us in the situation of being right on the max edge of the cap but having very little quality cattle to show for it.... we all whinge about the roster and why we cant afford better players, well this is a perfect example of that.

Bad attitude, poor training dedication, cant tackle & worst of all not interested in improving it... bye bye.

I do wish him all the best with whoever he goes to, maybe they can get him motivated.

I agree. I don't rate Laurie as "the answer"...BUT...I would much rather see a Sheens experiment involving extra game time for a raw, mistake ridden young prop than putting the best 5/8 in the game out of position (again) and our best pick for half back at full back.

It's not like out front row and bench is so good we can't find a way to squeeze him in!!! :?

Laurie needs time, he needs to be used sparingly in the NRL until he learns his trade but he needs to be used.

And that's where the problem lies.

Brisbane could afford him, and would need a prop after taylor goes this year.
if he leaves, i recon it'll be for the broncos

He misses two games and wants to leave the club? Either that is bullsh*t or good riddence. he's a soft f**ker anyway.
