I’d like to see
Roache onthe bench.
Lawton showed today how effective a running hookercan be so a
Lawton /
Roache combo appeals.
Lawton ran for 50 metres. I'm not sure how much of a point that really proves tbh. He was one of our best, for sure, and we were much worse when he went off but I think that's more to do with him being an experienced hooker and
CHT not being one. Effective running game wasn't my take-away. The biggest problem when he went off was that we lost our dominance in the ruck and stopped winning the middle -- that's what
Egan is best at imo. I'd honestly wager that if
Egan was available today and we split duties between him and
Lawton, we may have actually won that game.
