People seem to have a better memory than me when it comes to Pennington and Laws. Yep both occasionally did some good stuff but both were pron to some terrible stuff. Not sure they were the standouts some are suggesting and no way would i think Laws was on the same level as Wooten

Laws vs Wootton?  They were with us at a different stage of their careers.  Laws is still just 26 now and a more mature player than the young guy he was when he played for the Nix. Also, he had a bad run of injuries when he started with us (was it an ankle?) 
In contrast Wootton is now 33 and is clearly more experienced than Laws but I would argue he has somewhat peaked while playing with us.  
I am probably a bit unfair on Wootton as I always compare him to Taylor whose spot he inherited.  Like there is only only Kosta, there was only one Taylor.

Different times and different coaches.  Also, I reckon they were with us at a different stage of their careers.  Laws is still just 26 now and a more mature player than the young guy he was when he played for the Nix. Also, he had a bad run of injuries when he started with us (was it an ankle?)
