The Russell comment doesn't sound right....

Having JAC outside him is a massive reason for his form improvement too. Having a winger with decent football IQ is an underrated quality and makes a huge difference defensively for a centre - Lomax is lightyears behind in that respect.
Staggs was barely sighted until that long break. I saw he only made six runs for 88 metres, and 50 of those metres came on one carry.
Look I don’t get the Lomax criticism. Sure he has made errors but Jesus Christ the bloke does it because he is trying too hard.
I always thought of JAC as the kind of winger who only plays well in a strong team. I assumed he would disappear in our struggling side but he's been awesome.
His stats were actually very good (again) last night. On top of all the runs, tries and post contact metres, he managed to make 11 tackles as well. I agree he's an awesome player. The errors are just part of the package.
The eye test
Team sport.
Wasn't intended to be an outright criticism of Lomax, more a testament to JAC's skillset - there's a reason why we've conceded less tries on the left wing than right and it isn't because Russell became a better tackler. And the "trying too hard" aspect is very much part of football IQ; he overplays his hand on occasion and it's been costly at times.
Absolutely Eele. The Donkey supporters are acting like they deserved the win due to Walsh being clearly offside. What a joke. They have had a rails run for years from the refs
Cry me a river of salty tears
I agree ffs!!!
I thought the same Avenger. The last few games I watched Brisbane, Stagg has been dominant. Russell well and truly contained him. Great effort
Ah the emotion. Swearing at the TV one second, cheering the next. Proved a real downer to what became a win!
I agree Lomax is probably a dumb footballer but he ticks every other box. It also explains why he's not a genuine option at fullback. They need good instincts.
The ref was better than average BUT he did give Broncos a few 6 agains for ruck interference which I couldn't see whereas Broncos laid all over us and we couldn't buy one. After Flanagan's outburst last week maybe they are being slightly less showing bias against the lesser teams (for at least 1 week anyway before resuming normal behaviour).
You legend mate. Top shelf stuff.
