Good news, Dwyer is very talented, and probably better than Payne and Halatau.

[Perth Tiger]

That is a reasonably decent team considering our injuries.

Hopefully Dwyer can show something special and stay in the top grade for the rest of the year

 

[Reek_Havoc]

Things are finally starting to turn around.

Hope he gets a run. I've seen him just a couple of times and he has impressed me.

Good hole runner, fast back rower, good step.

Drop Morris.

 

[pirie]

i went to school with simon and played with him and against him growing up so it will be good to see someone playing in first grade that i know

 

[Forth & Clyde]

No Laurie? Though it's not expected considering the lack of grunt in his running compared to last year.

 

[steven_tiger]

Galloway Rd 21 ... damn.

 

[macnaz]

No Laurie? Though it's not expected considering the lack of grunt in his running compared to last year.

Lauire walking the ball up has more grunt then the rest of the pack running flat out ! FMD can Sheens ever get selections right ? For once all he had to do was pick the same winning side but nah he has to be a total prick and screw players around for no particular reason. Tell ya what if Laurie loses the plot and goes walk about away from the game we all know why. Every rugby league critic ive heard cant understand why he isnt getting more game time, so wanker thinks stuff you's ill give him less

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Laurie brings an enthusiasm to the team that no one else does. He should be there on that alone.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Laurie needs to curb his enthusiasm defensively though. Too often it looks like he's going to give away a late shot on the kicker penalty, and too often he comes out of the line and leaves up with a mis match. If his timing was slightly better, he could pull off some great tackles as he has done so in the past.

He also needs to hit the ball up in a more compressed position rather than be flimsy. He needs to time his runs a bit better because it seems like he often overruns the mark.

Only small parts of his game need fixing, he could easily develop into a good player.

Yep he would be selected in everyside in the competetion bar ours. Far out i feel bad for the bloke

 

[tiger_nick]

laurie has a bad virus, may still play

 

[N.C.]

Who gets dropped if Laurie comes in. All this media about Dwyer's debut suggests it wont be him...

 

[macnaz]

laurie has a bad virus, may still play

Thanks Nick, So it wasnt Shines being his usuall self. But hey i still think he is a wanker lol

 

[b.bear]

no grunt !!! if the game plan did'nt have him running decoy 9 out of ten hit ups I'm sure there would be more "GRUNT" in his runs and also he should be used wider of the ruck as I think Ellis is a bit too slow to break the line... how the F... does Major Payne get picked every week, No attack,No Brains ,OK defence thats all .this team visibly lifts when big D gets on and they will miss him this week

yeah should play like the rest of the pack and just lie down and take a beating ,at least he brings the aggression the tiger pack has needed for a long time but now thats not good enough!!! yeah should lie down and take a beating like the rest of the team that'll show'em...ps except Skando
