Did Sheensy really want to put Lawrence at 5/8?

Look Rowdy was a good center, but he lacked the tricks of say SDK/Jamie Lyon and your game playing centers. Sure he could pull the occasional trick, but he definately was a finisher as a player. Someone who crosses the line.

It was funny too, the instant we get a more traditional halfback in Robert Lui we suddenly go gangbusters...

Chris did play 5/8 and the player Sheen's keep on mentioning when he spoke about Chris at 5/8 was none other then

The great Penrith player BRAD IZZARD


Brad was a powerful running 5/8 center great club man and from memory mite have played 1 or 2 origin games off the bench as a lock centre 5/8

Brad had a knack of knocking over the player in front of him and passing to a faster player had a great fend and a good step could not kick the ball but great on the defensive line

One of my favourite players Brad Izzard. I though Sheens mentioned Laurie Daley mostly when talking about Lawrence at 6

I remember Brad Izzard he spoke about the power running


Brad was awesome always gave 100 percent great club man and his brother was a good player as well


Penrith have had some great club man

Who was the front rower who went form Balmain to Penrith great club man as well he hit it up all day could not pass low skills but great defence
 
Bradley Clyde n Adam McDougall basically didn't play a game for their teams for 3 years until representative selection came up ,and both were 1st picked- go figure

Absolutely belted Benny one day at Leichhardt. I don't know how he got up
 
Right now, what is the difference between Galvin and Douhie?

Both are too big for the halves.
Both have below average acceleration and speed.
Both are hogs (Galvin less so), although they are dangerous runners.
Both are poor defenders.

The only difference is Douhie has a larger body of work whilst Galvin is mostly a projection.

One is on a one year ~$325k contract whilst the other is apparently the second coming who is going to a sign a multi year deal averaging $1m per season or close to it.

Would we better off having both Latu and Douhie for a combined $1m as opposed to Galvin alone for $1m in which case Latu would almost certainly leave? One of these options would be significantly better for our roster and salary cap. Plus we could get rid of Isaac Moses’ clients.

I’m not saying one option is better than the other, but with Luai on a 5 year $1.2m contract should we be considering the Latu/Douhie option? Will be great to watch the first few weeks/months of footy to see if the answer becomes clearer.
 
Galvin is so talented.
He could be the best player in the game in no time.

I think there's a solution here.
Galvin probably won't like it though.
Or maybe he won't mind.

It was discussed in a Channel 9 show with Fitler & Johns and he said one day he'll move to the backrow however sees himself as a half at the moment.

You missed out a fair bit -
One is coming off 3 ACL’s and has hit his ceiling long ago.
One is in his second year and has supreme fitness.

How you’d say they have similar pace is beyond me - AD has concrete boots on, Lachie while not fast is much lighter on his feet that AF
