Moi Moi vs Laurie

Daine Laurie is a massive thug and an awful defender. He tackles high every single time, or else flops in with the elbow. Grothe was right to give him a massive push, the only shame is that he didn't belt him into the bargain.

When Laurie's not doing that, he's literally jogging towards the attack, not getting involved, then jogging sideways to somewhere else in the defensive line.

Agree...he is pretty lazy and niggles a lot in the tackle. Will watch him this week against the likes of White and Lima when they play Storm.

White won't put up with it...;-)

White will only react if he has the entire pack around him, someone is holding Laurie, and he's drunk 16 cans of Red Bull. White is a cream puff. One on one, Roy Bell would hammer him.

It was great, until the refs got involved. Two big blokes prepared to smash each other and the refs want to stop it? It's the stuff legends are made of you attention-seeking arse bandits.

Stick the whistle up your clacker.

it's a blight of the modern game that aggression is seen as a negative and something to be removed. i love those little one on one battles of yesteryear when players fired up and went for each other aggressively (not illegally). we'll never see anything remotely similar to harragon- carroll again cos the refs will just penalise them out of the game

I listened to the last couple of minutes on Triple M and I have NEVER heard Gus go off like he did last night about the ref getting involved in the last minute between these two. It was very very funny. His head must have almost exploded.

It is a pretty sad indictment of the game in 2009 that two opposing props can no longer legally slug it out.

I was looking forward to the rematch between Skandalis and Slater until I remembered that Slater would be unavailable on Origin duties. Seeing Slater scampering across the field to hide behind his own players and evade a riled Skando was very entertaining.

was great. Can't beleive the ref got involved. Nothing illegal, i'd have penalised the first high shot by laurie, it wasn't a serious one. A bit lazy. Worth a penalty and thats it. The rest was perfectly legal. Just two big aggressive blokes going at each other to assert some dominance. The ref is a merkin for getting his head between em. Let the big boys at it. Would love to see more of it.

It was just Ben Cummins being Ben Cummins.

If that happened in a game involving the Roosters he would of sent the players off.

I agree with Raider69 - the first one was chest first, but it slipped up and he pulled him to ground by his chin basically, so penalise that one (penalty sufficient) - the others were just great to watch! I've said it so many times now I've lost count - Cummins is horrible!

Couldn't agree more, I thought it was fantastic seeing them come after each other.

Anyone who didn't enjoy it clearly doesn't love the game.
