[QUOTE="Muse_Cubed, post: 801027, member: 12841"] There's pretty much no point in having Robshaw on the bench though. The only thing that he might add is a bit of stability/leadership off the bench if things are getting disorganised, but he'll never be an impact player. His strongest attributes are that he reliably put in a solid 80-minute shift and that he's a consistent performer. I do feel a bit for him, but the writing's been on the wall for a while. As for Lawes, I'm ok either way. I suppose he offers some flexibility as he played pretty well at 6 recently (his previous stints there were somewhat underwhelming). I'm not opposed to him actually getting some time off though as he does spend half his seasons crocked. I hope Harrison gets a bench spot - his physicality in the latter stages of the game will be pretty handy, so long as he doesn't end up being over-eager, Haskell-style. [/QUOTE]
