Frederick Charles Laws (30 April 1905 – 15 February 1986) was an Australian rugby league player.[1]
Raised in the Queensland town of Allora, Laws was a centre and five-eighth, known by the moniker "Tiger" on account of his tackling. He captained Newtown in the strong Toowoomba competition and was a Queensland interstate representative from 1927 to 1935. While a member of the national team, Laws featured on two tours of Great Britain, including as vice captain of the 1933–34 touring side.[2] He retired from rugby league in 1936.[3]
