Lomax has to be in the run on side somewhere
He is so unfazed by it, has great decision making ability and can play the game
Now is his time

I agree...for a bloke that has to sit on the sideline for so long then come on and produce straight away he shows maturity beyond his years......they have to find a regular position for him otherwise he will be wasted....if you look at Manu 22 and Victor Radley 20 from the Roosters it shows if the coach gives you ago you wont be let down....admittedly Zac turns 20 this year but he has an old mature head on young shoulders

Gotta love that song.

That was what the fox commentators said also, Aitken had no choice but to go for the backrower.

Yep - given Hunt's decision, Aitken was on the man he was meant to be on.

 

[Dragonsamy]

We need to improve a lot to beat the dog next Sunday.
They were good against the storm.
Go the dragons

 

[Wittenberg]

Luc & Kerr probably next week with Korbin gone and Host hobbling badly when he left the field.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Aitken is a real problem he costs us more points than he scores.Ray Charles if he was a coach would know to attack the right side.

Stevie Wonder concurs with you, Sire!

 

[Dragonsamy]

Looks like Sims has a broken arm. Not sure about Host.

True Sims broken arm like you said.
He will have scans and see how bad.
Host did the calf muscle again the same one that team out before.
Let hope for the best.

We need a miracle DA but they do happen..... just look at our last two games.

Have l told anyone how much l dislike the Dogs?

Not as much as I do mate.

Aitken and Kerr on the bench and Lomax to the centers makes more sense, Aitken can play second row, center and wing, here is your utility

I think Graham needs a week off, he’s putting in 110% but been belted from pillar to post. Kerr and Timms I say.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

If nothing else, it was a gutsy win in front of a vocal parochial away crowd. Vaughan, Friz, Sims & Graham will all sleep well tonight. Lafai & JP were good,Lomax has to be there but not in the forwards you clown(L plate) Rava was better. Why McInnes doesn’t run more is beyond me, especially in that golden point period.

Yeah I agree mate.....thought on a few occassions McInnes could have darted from dummy half especially when their forwards were knacked and so were ours......this one out running by our forwards has got to stop.....its very rare now to see our big boys slipping a pass away to a player in support....and in that I dont mean after their go forward has been halted......if anyone should teach our boys the art of that play its the red headed pom......pommie forwards over the years have been masters at that

What makes you say Aitken can play second row or wing?

 

[Willow]

Neither team wanted to win that

In a nut shell.

If he'd get lost in a elevator Im certain he would get lost in a scrum

We seem to have the wood on the Knights. A couple of points, firstly a concern was why the hell Sims was left on the field for so long when it was obvious he was not coming good, nothing can explain why he played 15 to 20 minutes with a broken arm when it wasn't necessary to do so. The other point is a feeling this was our second game in a row where we won despite the coach rather than anything he contributed. Of course,this is really not fair not knowing what happens between coach and players, but there's not a lot from the game to suggest the coach was a key factor in the win. Dufty frightens the shit out of me whenever a kick goes up or when he has the ball within 10 metres of the sideline, Lomax is a better option for fullback, surely.

Dufty threw the pass for Ravalawa to score. Not sure Lomax could have done that
