Quote: HuddsRL5 "I think a future second row of Mellor and Roberts with Bruno at Loose is the way forward, would take us forward for the next 7-8 years. A bit of flair on the edges and absolutely solid up the middle.'"
I would have Hinchcliffe over Lawrence every day of the week, He is not going to be playing for as long as Lawrence granted but is far better with ball in hand and is an equally good tackler. For me i would let Lawrence fight for a place in the front row, i would not guarantee him a place just because he is a good tackler
He has size and weight and could learn the skills needed to be a prop with the right coaching.
I share your view of Mellor and Roberts, both are young and mobile enough to be able to play if needed as well.
