Quote: Haighy "I think Lawford has been treated shockingly by some Fax fans. The contribution he made to our 2005 season when we were a poor ref decision short of a grand final was unheralded.
He was the perfect partner for Ben Black at half-back. Lawford took care of all the organisational duties, setting the moves for the outside backs and great in field kicking. So what if he hardly took on the line, that was what Black was there for, what he did best.
Seems some Fax fans can't get over appearances.'"
disagree with you Haighy. people on here only complained about how he played & his performance or lack of it. No one attacked him as a "person". He was too slow, overweight therefore wasnt mobile enough, his only contribution was the inside ball to Larder or a kick to the wingers.
People go on about Briers or Holy not being able to tackle, but Lawford was/is worse. His only contribution was to turn up 3rd man & try add his weight to a tackle.
