Russell, Lino and Lawford are all organising 7s.
We struggled last year and for many years before with lack of balance in the halves, we don’t have balance this year either as Gale is also an organiser but we are levels above our opposition this year so we can get away with it.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see Lino leave, pending agreement due to his contract, and someone come in with more of a running threat.
