Handy Lau
The Buns' promotion of their academy lads continued on schedule, with
Lau Keng Kwang next to join
Ong Li Jing and company, in the senior squad. The 17 year-old had been nicknamed "
Handy" soon after his joining up with the Rabbits - officially, due to his usefulness in defence, which was entirely true; but also underlying a tendency to get grabby with opponents, when in the thick of things.
This is a bad habit that assistant coach Li Aik Meng will hope to manage, with the new Number Fifteen. "You can't pull jerseys like that in the professional game. Some of the referees shut an eye at the youth level, but being on a card really affects one's play in the senior game. No, we're going to teach him how to disguise it better!"
