Yeah, people have been saying Lawrence 'is showing signs of improvement' for 3 years now. 2 steps forwards 3 steps backward. In the end he hasn't improved in 3 years.
The fact that we're paying him and playing him means we lose out on and off the field. Even if we're paying a third of his contract We could have an extra 300k to sign someone new or re-sign another youngster, and we won't feel obliged to play him every week.
The best thing for Chris in the short term is to play NSW Cup. That way he can work on some form and speed under less pressure.
