Re: The new Laurie Daley
He reminds me of Jimmy Wins Maloney. Just kinda of all over the ball, agile and has some classy touches. Maloney couldn’t defend though. Am I right?

Re: Fullback
I remain a Xav at fullback fan. His taking of the high ball has been fantastic and his pace will do the rest. There was an interesting interview with Sticky prior to the Raiders game against the Dogs. He was asked about how he knew where to pass the ball with so many great players in the 1994 side. ...

Laurie Daley came through into FG as a center in 1988. The Raiders had a very good 5/8 called Chris O'Sullivan and he deservedly held the 5/8 spot through to the 1989 Grand Final victory.
