Manly Sign Lawton

[Kevinward777]

That's MR News Limited ,to you Pal.

Sincere apologies, I stand corrected sir.

 

[Woodsie]

The perfect utility

Just an old fashioned footy player ...

Coach: what position do you play ?
Karl: Anywhere on the field
Coach: What side do you play?
Karl; Any bloody side ..
Coach: Do you kick goals?
Karl: I'll have a crack

So our last spot in the 30 has been given to a bloke who is out injured for the season ... I hope this makes sense to somebody ..

It did seem like a bit of a flighty signing at the time. I think Des was probably in negotiations with Lawton before our terrible start.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Good signing. It was a gamble in the my eyes but it is paying dividends now.

 

[The Who]

He is still not featured on our official Sea Eagles site.
Let's hope the club fixes this oversight quickly.

Just wondered what the Go was when he came on and just assumed wrongly that he was just a specialist 9 . Maybe a bit of a gamble but what a terrific effort , crucial try , excellent involvement and with him out of the game for an extended period , even more commendable . Many great outcomes and highlights for Manly and certainly including Lawton 's effort

They listed him as LawNton on Nein. Let's call him Lawnton.

Maybe Des bought him at a Lawn Sale...?

Him and josh aloiai can do the mowing at brookie

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

He was superb as well. Tough unit and didn't shirk the heavy work at all. Will be interesting to see him stay healthy and see what he can do over the next month.

 

[cc eagle]

Anyone know when he played his last game, 1st game back was great, played 47mins albeit with a 10min break, 19 tackles with 1 missed

Karl had a blinder, Not so DUMB after all. THANKS FOR THE BIG EFFORT KARL........

Oh wow, you got me good ! Kudos to you, mate. Hope that gave you the enjoyment and satisfaction you needed out of it, too.... (if that fulfills you) 🤷‍♂️. You really showed me.

 

[eagle66]

Do you think that Lawton was given to us as part of the AFB deal?

Just a general reply, no offence intended.

Mmm - interesting.

 

[Peter C]

Do you think that Lawton was given to us as part of the AFB deal?

In a way, yes, AFB put the Warriors in precarious position with the salary cap, especially after snaring Reece Walsh as well, so they had to offload Lawton with them basically paying most of his contract for this year

 

[Eagles4Life]

Can he play fullback? occasionally ... very occasionally, and preferably not at all 😎

The last option, thanks.

One minute this bloke is a mystery shadow in our rehab group, suddenly he is starting in the second row. Will be great to see how he backs up after his impressive debut for us.
With no lower grades last year our depth couldn't develop, suddenly we now have some depth and competition for spots, that is a massive boost.
Go Karl!

ps has Manly ever had a Karl before?
