I knew you'd be the first one to sqwark Gunners, Are you insinuating (Ever so subtly) that I don't know what I am talking about?
1: BOTH Lote and Benji have suffered injuries, Serious injuries…. And both worked hard and got back.
2: Lawrence played Rep football after the injury you so frequently refer to, And played reasonably well....
3: It's common knowledge his hammys and ankles are gone, It has absolutely nothing to do with his hip dislocation (Which many quality players have come back from)
Doesn't matter how good you are, If the guy beside you is ordinary, leaving you posted and constantly taking the wrong options. It will make you look ordinary, Both confidence and form will suffer.
NOW, I'm not saying either of the afore mentioned players were rubbish, And Lawrence is single handedly to blame. But the old saying "Hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by Turkeys" Aint around for no reason....
Lote and Benji suffered injuries, but i don't remember any of them being injuries where they were almost crippled. As far as ''many'' quality players coming back from a hip dislocation, idk, cos even Sheens said himself at the time it wasn't a common injury that he ever come across. Only one other player in recent memory has suffered a dislocated hip and that was Gareth Widdop, and he did come back largely unaffected, however his hip popped straight back in, which makes a difference. Lawrence had to be sedated. The guy was still screaming in pain when they put him in the ambulance outside the ground. His own father has acknowledged he'll never be the same again due to not having the physical capabilities anymore. People are wasting their time thinking he still has it in him to return to the player he was cos he can't.
