Personally I would play Lawford and bring in a half from NRL (with a view to leading team over next few years). The new rule should have made some quality halves available. There was a list of players ready to break into nrl and I’m sure a 24 year old half was on that list and it was an impressive write up. Otherwise I’d try bring Hampshire in and play him with Lawford.
Gale and Lino back end of last year didn’t fire together other than 1 game and then playing together the limited times I’ve seen them this doesn’t inspire me with confidence. I don’t know if it’s the fact they don’t compliment each other or not but i really really hope that the halves can find something that works.
I will support Gale and Lino while ever they pull the shirt on and I really hope they prove me wrong (I welcome it) but I can’t see it. They will be fine against mid - lower championship but against the top teams where packs will match up to us I’m not sure.
Whoever gets the nod on Friday I’ll be cheering them on naturally. But I do worry a bit over the season.
