The sign of a great player is that players around him become better. Lawrence has that and it's a rare commodity. Players who fall into that category would include Ellery Hanley, Martin Johnson and, I guess, Dean Richards, although I didn't see much of him as a player. Others may be more physically talented than them but they can't match their competitive edge. It means so much to them they go through pain to get there.
