STARLING AND LAWRENCE RETURN – By Ella Kasmar

[lsz]

Josh Starling and Brenton Lawrence re-enter the first grade line up to take on Wests Tigers on Monday night. Both forwards excelled in reserve grade last weekend and were rewarded with the NRL call-up.

Starling will reclaim the number 8 jersey with Jake Trbojevic moving into lock, but it will be Lawrence’s first NRL game since round one of 2015.

Injuries ruled him out for the majority of the season, although returning to NSW cup towards the latter end. Not only do they perform on the field, but off the field also, as both are admirable ambassadors for the Sea Eagles, and were nominated for the Ken Stephen Medal in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Brenton Lawrence was nominated for the medal in 2014 for his active involvement in ‘Sea Eagles Foundation’ programs and work with Autism Spectrum Australia. He continues to be an ambassador for Autism Spectrum, spreading more awareness about it all to the wider community. After his nephew was diagnosed with Autism, Lawrence provides a truly caring and understanding mentor for kids and families dealing with it.

Can't help but feel like Starlo and BJ were hard done by to play NSW cup last week, but hopefully they'll be all the more fired up because of it.

Hoping that they have excellent games this week so Barrett can't drop them

Nice story again from Ella.
It will be interesting to see Lawrence's role from the bench, from memory he has been just about exclusively a starter with Manly.

 

[Mals]

Lets hope Lawrence can really lift the tempo when he comes onto the field. Starling will provide his usual starch as a starter.

Hopefully both will take their angry pills before the tigers game

Great to see Starling get selected, pretty much mistake free and puts in the hard yards. Not flash but a toiler and the type of player every team needs.

I agree, great synopsis. I feel there is a writer in there , journalism is an interlude.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

These two increase our chances of winning considerably. So glad to have them both back on the field together

They are both goers, never a mistake to have a few of that kind in your pack.
