The Penrith Panthers lost a versatile star to the Canberra Raiders amid player shifts to Bulldogs.
The Penrith Panthers have seen many star names lured to the Canterbury Bulldogs in recent years, with Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, and Viliame Kikau all making the shift to Belmore.
Despite the club's appeal with players of the Panthers dynasty, there's one star the club couldn't snatch.
The versatile Panthers utility, who met with both clubs in recent weeks, opted to link up with Ricky Stuart in the nation's capital after weighing up his options for the next stage of his career.
Laurie adds valuable depth across Canberra's spine and backline, capable of playing fullback, wing, centre, five-eighth or halfback, and is seen as an ideal utility option to bolster the Raiders' squad.
