- Biography:
Still in high school at just 17 years and 283 days old, Chris Lawrence became the youngest first-grade debutant for the Wests Tigers in round 21, 2006.
A fleet-footed centre for the first part of his storied career, Lawrence represented Australia at the end of 2010 and added his final five Test caps the following year.
Renowned as a great clubman and a reliable performer, Lawrence transitioned into a second-rower in the latter half of 2015 and stayed there for the remainder of his playing days.
After overcoming serious hip and facial injuries, Lawrence finally hung up the boots at the end of 2020 with the distinction of being one of just three men, along with great mates Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall, to play 250 NRL matches for the Wests Tigers.
