Errors not being sent to rollbar Laravel 5.1

When I throw new Exception('test exception'); from a class the bug is passed to my rollbar dashboard. But when I cause a Laravel error, something like "syntax error, unexpected '$user' (T_VARIABLE)" it doesn’t get passed.

I have it working perfectly on another project and it sends all bugs but that is in Laravel 5.0. I then tried Laravel Rollbar by jenssegers, thinking it would be more suited for Laravel 5.1 but that behaves the exact same way, only passing exceptions that I explicitly throw. Thanks in advanced for any help with this.
