Oats will follow Bennett just like Boyd did. If Oats comes to the Dragons in 2019, you can be sure Bennett is coming here in 2020.

Why would he follow a coach that won’t give him a shot in the back row?

The fullback spot will be a contest between Dufty and Lomax in the pre-season. I have no doubt that our coach would not want to re-visit the defensive lapses seen in the backend of 2018. So if Dufy can overcome this problem, I believe he will be given first chop at fullback again and Lomax to right centre. However, if he does not progress in this area, I feel sure Lomax will be our 2019 right centre and either Aitken or a new signing will play at right centre.

FFS Poss , you are the only one who is pushing for Lomax at no 1. Nobody else here is. I also have seen ( not live though ) him play 1 but it didn't impress me as being out of the ordinary and obviously in much lower class than NRL.What do you see that we don't ? Mindful that his transition as a very young player as a NRL centre will be difficult enough as it is , rather than a part of the spine.

I haven't been calling for Lomax to be our fullback next year, I hope that he is picked at centre.

At the start of the season I did say that I thought Lomax was our best centre, fullback and wing prospect that we have at our club. I haven't seen that much of him and very little at fullback, but he looks to be a very special talent, with very who is a natural footballer. He is also good under the high ball. If he was to play fullback, then he would have more of a roving attacker, while at centre he would be confined to one side of the field. He would getting his hands on the ball more often. He may develop into a marquee player at fullback. Some have questioned if he has the pace to play fullback. I don't know the answer to that question. I have not put a pen through Dufty. I still have hopes that he can develop his game.

In saying all of that I still hope that he gets selected at centre for the first game of next year, like I hoped that he would have got selected to play the first game of this year. I think he will make a great centre.

I respect your opinion and would be happy if Lomax was selected at right centre. Now tell me, if Dufty is not up to it or is injured, who would you like to see replace him at fullback?

If Duffy doesn’t grow a bigger set of balls, Lomax may very well be at fb

Samy are you saying Lomax to start on the wing in NRL is because we are getting a top centre?

Not necessarily Carlton.
I'm saying Mary will stick with lafai and Euen.
I would prefer lomax in Euen spot.
And Euen on the bench (expecially if mann goes wich is a big chance).
Euen can be the bench player that mann was.
He can cover backline and even back row
