He would want to be very cheap...basically another plodder. Never averaged over 60 meters, Wayne Bennet has even picked Bayley Sironen over him this season.
Thanks for the info though, as always 🙂
We can not forget Madge brought us the Plodder of the decade ! So this could be on the mark ..

Tigers veteran Chris Lawrence makes extraordinary 'sacrifice' for NRL future

NRL Highlights: Tigers v Sharks - Round 25
1 / 20><
Off contract and facing an uncertain future, Wests Tigers veteran ***Chris Lawrence has declared he's prepared to take a pay cut to remain loyal to his beloved club beyond this NRL season.***
Having debuted for the Tigers as a 17-year-old and devoted all 14 years of his career to the joint venture, the Campbelltown junior signalled his determination to move heaven and earth to remain at Concord.
As he ventured on a lap of Leichhardt Oval after Sunday's 25-8 defeat to Cronulla, which spoiled the Tigers' finals hopes, the 30-year-old did so knowing it could be his last game for the side.

Coach Michael Maguire stated his desire for Lawrence to remain on their books, with his experience appearing especially vital given hooker Robbie Farah on Sunday hung up his boots.
However he hinted there were salary cap issues at play after it was last week reported that the club had tabled an initial bargain contract worth $100,000 before issuing an upgraded offer.
"We've spoken to Chrissy and I can only fit in (what's in) the salary cap," Maguire said.
"If players want to play to that, I want them here."

"I want to play football, my objective is to play at the Tigers," Lawrence said.
"Both parties are going to have to take sacrifices here and there, which I've done in the past.
"If it means I'll need to do it again, I'll do it again to stay at the club I love."
Lawrence said there was a chance that Sunday's match was his last for the club but felt like he was still capable of contributing.
"There is a chance but I want to stay at the club, I'll do everything and leave no stone unturned to hopefully make that happen," Lawrence said.
"We'll let the dust settle on the year and chat to the club.
"For me, I still feel I can add to the club and help drive these young guys."

I have said this 100 times and it won't happen, but I wish the NRL publicised salaries like sports in the USA do.
Turner for 100...Jennings for 100 = decent signings.
Turner for 200 and Jennings for 250 =atrocious signings.
But we never get to know, so it is hard to judge the people / coach responsible.

Pretty sure I saw him quoted saying the opposite, that he'd play anywhere if he was picked?
@TigersBusDriver said in [Signing Suggestions & Rumours](/post/1061580) said:@diedpretty I'm no way near a Farah fanboy. My opinion on Farah is constant, he's a club legend who has had his controversial times. I don't love him, I don't hate him. I do, however, stand by my statement regarding Taylor. He was a useless coach I and it shows in his position now as a Canterbury Cup coach. The only coach to be screwed over by useless management of the club was Mick Potter. I say Taylor is worse than Ivan purely on the fact that Ivan showed he has some coaching ability, Taylor was beyond useless!

@THE_POM said. He/she said said:>If Madge has his way & the right offer comes along easily 5 of the top 30 out the door.
If Madge can do it, he will. I think we already all guessed that this has been the case since he started 11 months ago.
@Roar_Power said in [Signing Suggestions & Rumours](/post/1061612) said:Looks like Super League teams will be making plays for Packer and Reynolds. If we can retire Matulino medically as well, there may still be hope in 2020.
