[Saints Forever]

Promotion of Lomax to top 30 made my day.

Hope to see him trialled on Wing or at Centre during pre-season !

 

[TomRedVRiver]

I really hope that the club finds one position for Zac and sticks to it, I don't want to see him float around the backline.
The kid has the potential to be an absolute weapon, he needs to focus all his time and development in one position (probably centre) and become the best in the world in that position.

 

[Frank Facer]

I have been saying for a few months that I would like to see Lomax given first shot at one centre position next year, with Lafai being the other centre.

I would also like us to sign Koroibete. I think the additions of Lomax and Koroibete would give our backline some weapons to attack with.

 

[JDHD]

Any word on Jackson Willis? A great natural footballer and leader around the park. With the right development could be understudying for Hunt over the next year or two.

I think they're going to keep him in 20s next year (he's still only just turned 19) and sign Darren Nicholls to play half to back up Hunt next year.

 

[Saintsified]

I am really looking forward to seeing how Lomax goes in 1sts. Pity he most likely won't get a proper go at it until Mary is sacked.

or leaves before Mary is sacked, only to win a premiership at his new club and become a superstar offered 1m a year to go to yet another club.

 

[Sheridan Stand]

Yep Lomax could be anything...lets hope our coaching staff don't suffocate his development...all the more reason we need to be serious about getting an experienced coach in....We have a great crop of juniors coming through...just need the coaching smarts to develop them.

Harry Bath please

 

[Sheridan Stand]

Usually I'd say come up through the ranks, but Lomax has that X-factor. Expedite him and we just might have that elusive player. The kind of player that Cleary and French have proven to be. Still not sure of where half our young guns will fit it. Every other club have bright future stars too.

Mary had no balls.

If lomax becomes the next bird it will be time to burn down the taj

JDHD> Lomax was born 24/9/99 so he's only just turned 18. Just to clarify.

No doubt he could be the next Bird (Hopefully not as precious though). I could whinge that Mary won't ever grow a pair but that would be falling on deaf ears.

I'd like to see him as our future fullback.

Lomax looks like he will end up at centre but if he could handle fullback we shouldn't rule that out. We have a lot of younger players that could be considered fullback prospects but they may also be suited to other positions and Lomax could also be the best of them. Backrow would also be interesting if he keeps growing

I think he will start in the state cup.
He needs to play against men .
He will haddle it.
With a full off season with nrl squad.
I think if he goes well in trails ect.
He is only just 18.
Imo

Drag
He is also great fullback as you have said.
Plenty of size and speed with the added bonus of a good kicker.
It will be great to see him develop.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

With Dufty coming through nicely, Mann being able to play fullback, Marsters coming through and even Field looking like he might make a fullback switch... I would say we have the fullback position covered for a little while.

Don't get me wrong, Lomax could flourish at fullback and completely obliterate all of these guys, in which case good on him... But right now we need a centre, I feel like he should be focussing all of his efforts there.

 

[possm]

Well I've said it many times before, it would not surprise me at all if Lomax is selected in first grade in 2018. I think a great right centre but even a fullback.if Dufty is injured. A very good goal kicker too.

 

[coast_dragons]

I am not surprised Sailor has been dropped back to a development player as I am not sure what position is his strongest.

Marsters will alternate between the under 20's and the ISP nexy year as will lomax.

Jesus, he's a year younger than I thought he was. He won't even be eligible to play Grade for another year.

He should be elevated but isn't there an age restriction from next year onwards of 19? Does that apply for Cup or just Grade?

 

[TomRedVRiver]

NRL age restrictions are 18 and over, so he will be allowed to play next year.

Rightio. Still, though...should he? I mean, Ash Taylor and Nathan Cleary have shown it can be done, but for every Cleary or Taylor there are a dozen Tim Smiths.
