The veteran linebacker will lead the Hamilton into its annual clash Monday versus archrival Toronto before a Tim Hortons Field sellout crowd. Lawrence, 34, is certainly well versed in the Tiger-Cats-Argonauts rivalry, having been in Steeltown since 2013.

"I'd be lying if I said no," he said."The whole city comes to support the Tiger-Cats on Labour Day against Toronto.Hamilton leads the series 36-14-1 but Toronto snapped the Ticats' seven-game Labour Day win streak with a 28-8 victory last year. Both teams enter Monday's contest on a winning note. On Aug. 25, Javon Leake's 86-yard punt-return TD broke a 31-31 tie in the fourth quarter and led Toronto past the Calgary Stampeders 39-31 The return was a club-record fourth this season for Leake, who's one short of the CFL mark shared by Henry Williams and Chris Williams.

DaVaris Daniels has nine catches over Toronto's last two games for 257 yards and four touchdowns. Defensive lineman Folarin Orimolade has four sacks in his last four contests and stands tied with Winnipeg's Willie Jefferson for third overall with eight, four behind B.C.'s Mathieu Betts. "We know they're going to change up some looks from last time and from the first time that we played. We just have to be ready for whatever they throw at us."
