Daine Laurie showcased impressive versatility, threatening teammates' positions and impressing coach Ricky Stuart.
Daine Laurie sent a clear message to coach Ricky Stuart that he can be a favourable selection headache week in, week out, delivering a remarkable masterclass on the field in the pre-season trial against the Melbourne Storm.
The Storm simply could not withhold the power of the 2025 minor premiers, suffering a 28-4 defeat at Seiffert Oval on Friday.
But all eyes were on Laurie as his versatility was on full display, sending a clear warning to his Canberra teammates who are also competing for a starting jersey.
Ennis then admitted that plays like that from Laurie will only impress his new coach in the nation's capital and add more pressure to other young stars to perform.
