Lawton a gun

[maxta]

What a super footy player
Never realised what he had, but a Star

 

[The Who]

He's a real footballer. Very tough, honest and reliable.
At full strength he'll probably start on the bench, but I rate him highly.

 

[47MVEagle]

Very fit considering how long he was out injured.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Wow what a great pick up. He is super tough, he can tackle, ball play, run. Superb game and has been every week since injury.

 

[Will on the hill]

Has 14 printed on his forehead in a full strength 17.
Can cover 3,4,6,7,9,11,12 and 13.

Has 14 printed on his forehead in a full strength 17.

It would look better on the back of his jersey!

 

[Snake]

Poor Des got lambasted for this signing...he knew what he was getting!

 

[pt73]

He just gives 100% every game, reminds of the way Brandon Smith plays.

Great signing.

 

[NYEagle]

Great composure. Rarely overplays his hand.

Makes you wonder what was happening at warriors when blokes like Lawton and Papali'i become so much better when they leave...

Maybe Jazz Tevaga is actually a superstar...

 

[KOMORI]

He’s been super impressive since he pulled a jersey on for us. Great signing!

 

[Eagles4Life]

Yep I was wrapped when we signed him. He has finally been given an opportunity to show his real ability in the NRL. He has worked incredibly hard to get there, and if he can stay injury free will be our best signing for awhile. Great to see a Tweed Coast Raider doing so well 🙂

Fore the ladies. And @mutley (jokes !) - Karl Lawton

He will struggle getting the women

Yep.

 

[Ryan]

Don't hate on me, but I'd still love to see him given a run at 9 for a few games.

His best position is nine. Not even a question for me.

Was thinking the same thing

 

[Eagles4Life]

Was thinking the same thing

He is our best "available" number nine right now. Croker is playing great at the moment, and deserves his spot as nine. God know he has had to work hard to get that spot. Lawton is a better nine, but for 2021 the best role he can play for the team, is to keep doing exactly what he is doing right now. i.e Covering 11,12,13 in a starting role when required, and utility role off the bench, when we have all of our best players available.

His signing is turning out to be a shrewd one and if Manase is unsuccessful in beating his charge, we have two viable 9s in the squad. He really takes the pressure off Croker and our halves with his work!
