[QUOTE="Peat, post: 836035, member: 42330"] Lawes is pretty clear the size and shape he'll be for the rest of his career and to hope for different is futile. If he could put on extra useful muscle, he would have. Lawes basically shouldn't be taking the carries he does. He's a prototypical 5 - light for his considerable height with big springy legs that propel him all over the place. You don't want someone like that carrying into the tight, there's too much of them to target and they can't get low enough and they lack the power of the other guy (as a rule). Either they should be blasting rucks or carrying out wide (Lawes does the latter very nicely). I actually reckon Lawes does very well in the tight for a player of this breed (not saying a huge amount mind). Anyway, there'll be plenty of people to blame if he gets turned over counter-rucking, not just Lawes. [/QUOTE]
