I'd say give Laurie 1 last chance at 14 but Ivan either doesn't know how to use him or doesn't trust him.

Yeah, it's sort of funny how we have all forgotten about him in the #14 convo. He can cover #1, #6 and wing offers more flexibility than Sommerton, Trent and even Cole.

Of those 4 options Laurie comes last when it comes to defence/forward cover.

Its Toelau or Schneider for the foreseeable future. We've been running it that way since Cleary copped a HIA in round 3 against Melbourne. Its a question of cover and Ivan wants it for the 7.

Our own Connor Watson might eventually be Jack Cole. He is the guy I'd invest time into for long-term. Either that or bring back Tyrone May...

Cole can cover centre and halfback as well as Laurie plays wing. Effectively he covers 4,6,7 and you can trust him a lot more defending at 9 or 13 if that was required.

Or Zack Lamont for the 14 role. He can play halves, hooked and could probably even slot into the back line too if need be

Zack Lamont is a good shout, doesnt get talked about much but ive noticed when he plays in a team flegg or cupp they usually win, he has been playing 6,7 and 9 pretty well across both grades this year.

Cole is the best utility option in the club he could cover any position in the bckline as well as lock or hooker.If we don't use him we will lose him to a rival club and his potential will shine.Talagi is a good 6 and he will only get better.At least if cole is on the bench ivan won't be scared to use him and we will actually have a 17 man squad we will fully use.
