Added to that, Lawford didnt look convincing in the championship when he has featured, could we be looking at 3 new halves in Russell, Lam and Trueman
Thought Lawford went fine tbh but he only got the odd match after sitting 4/5 out. It would be a challenge for any player to get consistency with that never mind a young lad at 7. The ACL though will have set him back though it will give him oppprtunity to work on his core and upper strength in preperation for next season. There is something there with Lawford but it may be a few years before he’s truly ready.
With that I can see us bringing in another half or 2.
Trueman would be a risk but one that could pay off because he has some potential in there but needs the right environment and coaching. If we could get him alongside Gale this season and with our coaching set up and fitness team it could be a huge step for next years preperation.
I can see value in it.
As for Lino, happy for his to remain this season as at this level he’s good and certainly a top end championship player. If we step up though he’d be far from guaranteed a starting shirt.
