Two of your rising stars have made the top 50 youngsters..looks like your team will have to very good centres in the future if they can hold on to them.

Lawrence can be a star. He is class and IMO has a blend of qualities that makes him unique. His defence is excellent and his one weakness is a propensity to pop out of the line. He can stop that though, it's not his technique that lets him down there.

Also, he is a great timer of a pass to his wing man. So many centres cannot time a pass or throw it behind the man. Lawrence does not. Great feet, great step, great pace and good hands with solid defence.

He can play for GB IMO, he can go all the way. Still only 19yo.

where is this list?

In RLW I believe. Not seen it myself and it doesn't really mean much overall IMO. Doesn't take into account the maturation and development differences between players.

Thanks, I agree how on earth could you rate the best 50 young players? This was the reason why I was interested.

Lawrence should have been the centre for the last month of the season, includinging wembley, Jammer wasnt up to it foe whatever reason.

Disagree

Welcome to the forum.

Why do you disagree?

Lawerence good athlete quick,fairly strong,good in D. bt dnt think he has the hands for centre.think thats why he played a fair bit on the wing last yr

He played at Centre for England Boys when they toured Australia in 2008.

You are probably right in pinpointing his defence as being his strongest point ( he reminds me of Gary Connolly) BUT the better attacking skills come with experience. Lawrence has improved all season and will only get better. he is still only 19 i think.

Lawrence is the sort of player we should be building the team around
