Lavelle says "criticism is warranted"
Following the recent publishing of the "Waiver Watch" , an article which focuses specifically on players who fell to the waiver. Lavelle was criticised due to his poor handling ability. Critics share the same consensus that Lavelle will not step up to claim the #2 spot, which will be taken by Henri Rivere. Although Lavelle is a more athletic player, we don't believe that will make up for a lack of handling ability. Lavelle responded to these claims by issuing a press statement " I understand where these claims are coming from, I'm unproven, but believe me when I say this, I'm ready for this. I hope that come the end of the season my stats record will speak for itself and I can lead the Wraith's to a championship". Lavelle will likely line up in the #2 spot for the wraiths this year, dependant on performances. Lavelle didn't set expectations alight in the pre season, tallying up only 11 tackles and 1 pass deflection. Regarding next years draft possibility, Lavelle responded " I'm only focusing on the here and now, I'm giving my all to this organisation and if you all want to speculate, then speculate and leave me out of it"
