It is interesting to see how many of these teams have signed him for a second season !!  This is the biggest indicator of them all. |

Poor recruitment huh? By all 15 teams that have signed him. It is interesting to see how many of these teams have signed him for a second season !! Potentially yes, although it is a nomadic profession at Panthers level. |

I know because reading your posts it is obvious you are not How about the 15 teams that hired Lawrence, did they all have make believe hockey coaches? To be fair I'm not sure if you saw the last league game of the season last year (Devils away) but Lawrence was immense and easily our best player last year and TOTALLY unrecognizable from any other game he played and then for some reason he didn't dress for us again after for the play-off semi's. Lawrence can do it but has a bit of a history of going missing for a lot of games at a time and that's really the frustration in last years team which was already very poor. Also, *if* he was paired with Ling instead of Graham and *if* he really tried he would have easily outscored Graham that year. |

Lawrence got injured checking someone. Hence why he did not figure in the semi finals. Guess it was something his body was just not used to doing. |

Why on earth is everyone bothering with dissing Lawrence when we could all be laughing at Stewart...?  |

Chant of the season so far for me was 'It's not your fault' to young Renny Marr who did pretty well in the 3rd for Blaze.

You know what I'd do...I'd sign him here for a month. We've got the spare import space, he's already got his visa for the year, he knows the systems and he'd be a stop gap for Ling. Regardless of people's opinions of him, he was our top points guy last season - if he came in short term now, he wouldn't need to be that guy. He can just add offensive depth to our 4th line.

I read that and my 1st thought was - no way, then I read it again, thought about it and thought - no way. Still it IS a good idea (just for a couple of weeks though), get him in for the Shuff games, no brainer games but still would be nice to beat them, so the more players the better. Cannot believe that I now think it is a good idea (lies down in a very dark room - do not disturb) |

Yes Would we get more out of Ollie compared to him? Yes He was our top points scorer last year, stats don't lie. He was the best inconsistent player in a very inconsistent team but i wouldn't have him back. Ken summed him up perfectly on Saturday when he went to the penalty box by playing Lazy |

Surely if it's just announced the decision to release him would have been made 2 weeks ago (2 weeks notice and all that)

People are also forgetting that Farmer missed last Sunday's game - an extra body wouldn't go a miss
Plus we have 2 import slots spare with Waugh's injury so why not get him and a defence man!
