Mate the bloke hogs the effing footy and runs cross field, how is he going to be a distributor or make little darts even for 15 mins. Have seen sufficient of Marschke now, he'll do me for a Liddle speller. He can also fill in at halves if the Flanagan/Hunt combo keeps puttering along. Flanagan fed the dangerous left edge once and looked a million bucks, has not done it since. Is he being coached this way? Baffling.
Yet you continue to want him out. Without him and JDB in our pack we'd be 40% worse off. Wanna rubbish guys try , Eisenhuth, BMM and Mariner, piss weak metres game after game. I'd bring in Tuitavake, start Fifita for Frank Molo. BMM is only good for late mins against a tired defence.
Wow, big call. I dont want him out. I have consistently said that he was the workhorse that every pack needs, punches above his weight every game, inspires others to dig in and have a go. I did suggest that he and we would be better served if he came off the bench, that's not rubbishing him. Alas we don't have the 2 big bodied starting props we have needed for the last 5 yrs, hence he starts, gets smashed, gets up keeps going but he's no line breaker , hes a toiler, that doesn't cause any fear in the opposition and the stats confirm that, 2022 - 24 games - 1 linebreak, 2023 - 22 games - 2 line breaks.
This is exactly my view as well. I want Lawrie to be able to play longer each game. For that reason, I'd like to see him start on the bench. Come on after about 15min and maybe stay on for the remainder of the game. His ability to play a long time is the best aspect of his game. Let a bigger, faster prop but with less stamina smash in for the first 15min and then hand it over to Lawrie.

Who would we choose to play that role? There isn't anyone at the moment.
Frank Molo and Fifita.
