Well we do not have much to risk here IMO. He had all the potential & hopefully he has matured somewhat. If he applies himself he could be devastating at this level. He is a big unit & will at the very least tire the opposition defensively. This could be a very shrewd signing. Welcome back Adam & good luck to you. Make the doubters on here eat their words!
Well done Adam on your recent performances. Keep it up. You have certainly silenced some of your doubters.
Lawton is like that really big kid at u12's the team keeps passing to because he breaks the tackles every time.
I'd use him more, 5-7m out from the line he's unstoppable, especially how he turns his back on the defence and twists.
Very good asset in this team.
A slight elbow nudge off the ball.Deliberate I think but barely enough to fell a player.

Be interesting to see if he escapes a ban. Not seen or heard a single person say they thought it was a red card yet. Even though most of us are innately biased it does seem he’s been hard done to.

Agreed.Obstuction and penalty to them.
Hopefully the red card will help us and they deem it sending it off sufficient.
Poor call from Thaler , it's never a Red Card . Nothing would have happened if the Sheffield N0. 25 hadn't run over to cause a bit of an argument.

Sending off sufficient implies guilt. We should be aiming for not guilty
Let us see! Does anybody remember Andy CURRIER getting two matches for a shoulder charge in a cup game against BATLEY at Naughton Park in the 1980's? He got 2 games, appealed it and then got 8!!!!! I refer to my previous comments re the RFL and THALER!

I remember.
It was the 1st Round of the 1990 Challenge Cup.
If I remember rightly, he hurt the Batley lad quite badly (Broken Collar bone, seems to ring a bell...)
I know shoulder charges were legal back then, but it was always a poor way of grounding an opponent (some would even say... Lazy), and Currier had quite a bit of form for using that technique.
That was also around the time Currier started getting booed from a section of our own fans - still to this day don't know what caused it.

That’s hardly relevant for today’s disciplinary processes
Don't forget that Thaler was on a charge of driving without insurance on Monday!
He had to kick somebody's cat just to vent his spleen!!!

It was one game and the reason was that news of his transfer request was in that morning’s papers, the same day as the game.Not condoning it but that was the background.
Hopefully the red card will help us and they deem it sending it off sufficient.
There may yet be hope...
James Greenwood, Salford no. 21, was sent off for a high tackle against Huddersfield on the 18th. The disciplinary panel rescinded the red card, no action taken.
Also, on the 6th, Blake Broadbent, the Sheffield no.19, was charged for a late tackle in the game against 'Fax, the panel just gave him a 0 match penalty notice.
I am tempted to wonder if the Sheffield players set the incident up. It was at worst a gentle bump between the two players yet the Sheffield player fell to the ground as if he had been pole-axed and others immediately started the fracas. Lawton had been a thorn in their side all game, could it have been a deliberate "getting their own back"?
