Can only really echo what others have said. He's matured a lot over the last couple of years, and has been nothing short of excellent whenever I've seen him play. In fact I'd go so far as to say, I don't think I've ever seen him have a bad game. His ball handling skills are the best I've seen on a prop.

Best of luck to the lad, hope it's not the last I've seen of him in SL.

I remember getting a bit irate at Knowsley Road in 2010 and asking him "where all his flookin winners rings were". He turned round, gave me a big grin and went up in my estimation from that day onwards. It just goes to show that the players you love to hate can also be respected, though that's something i could never say about Ratboy from the other side of the East Lancs road.

It's all about Lawrie's delivery or lack thereof.

I wouldn't call that a funny story.

Just a story.

Let himself down with the refusing to shake hands (and encouraging others to do likewise) at Headingley after the alleged 'chicken wing' off Jones-Buchanan and lost it big time after the Bailey shoulder into Fa'asavalu at Knowsley Road but that apart has been a treeeemendous asset to SL and will be sadly missed from the comp.

No more breaking out of the loosely formed scrum and tracking back to tackle the winger into touch or forcing the scores out wide on an otherwise lost cause.

Respect.

Whatever dude.
