I'm ok with giving NPL players a chance in the HAL, especially given how little this season means.

But why recycle another ex-gypo who couldn't make it with an even worse squad than ours? Go find some 20-25 yr old who might not get a chance otherwise and give them a run. No complaints about the scholarship kid they've given a chance to.

This is exactly why some of us dislike Lawrie, instead of going out and looking for player they just went with one of his old mates from Gosford, zero effort from him and everyone else involved. They've had plenty of time to talk to some agents or go scout some NPL footage whilst on break.
