Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Zac Lomax.

You heard it here first. Nothing official yet but we want him.

He’s up there with Joseph Manu. Still got two years to run after this year though, so the Dragons must be off him to let him go.

I was in Paris in 2019 and the dodgy gypsies selling me alcohol underneath the Eiffel tower I told them in French this.

Va te faire enculer

Does any one speak French?







Can you translate







fifty ten hull



To French

 

[King-Gutho94]

He certainly has the blinkers on

Merkin should stick to singing for the black eyed Peas.

They have some seriously disgruntled players. Prob little choice then to have a roster cleanout or a change of coach.

Maybe Griffin is pissed off at Lomax for mocking him on national television.

For this season or next?

Probably to replace Blake, talk about a massive upgrade.

 

[strider]

Lomax is apparently a wanker with a bit of an attitude issue .... maybe BA can sort him out

 

[Glenneel]

Why promote a youngster who is not playing well, just because we need to give them experience?

A lot of people cried foul for us doing that with Jakob Arthur.

Creating a strong, successful culture means you promote players when they earn it - if they're not up to it, or don't have the right attitude, you move them on.

The ball is in Hands', and Yates', court - show us what you got, and you'll probably break into the 17.

But how do you get experience when you're not playing in that position? Sounds like both players are playing other positions so we have no backups if both main hookers go down.

I think what would be ideal is we get him about rnd 12 and he only costs half price for this year.
I can see it happening as Dragon have

Ravalava, Feagi, Ramsey, Suli,Bird,Sloane,Mbye all to fill the backline. That's players. Add Lomax that's 8. Strong depth.
But the he forward pack is weak and out of balance.

Just because they are young it doesnt mean they are better. Mitch Rein has played a lot of NRL. Yates and Hands just may not have it.

 

[Glenneel]

Potentially a very interesting addition. Played well for Melbourne in the couple of games I saw him a season or so ago.

If he keeps both eyes open he may play even better.

 

[Glenneel]

Zac Lomax.

You heard it here first. Nothing official yet but we want him.

But he wants a $1m a year doesn't he? Too rich for us I'd suggest unless he is willing to reduce his expectations re money and want a chance to play in a much better team. Still has a few brain explosions in him but maybe Waqa's money could go to him in '24 and he'd be a definite upgrade.

 

[Glenneel]

Didn't say they were better just we had no backup hookers outside our 2 main ones. They were bought to the club as hookers but neither getting any dh experience. Both main hookers well in 30s so no long term solution either within our system.

But Blake is also called Wanker so we will go on ability. So Lomax all the way, also a gun goal kicker.

Yates started as a lock. We may not have any in our system, which I beg to differ but the sooks will whinge with the name I bring up, but we can always bring in a hooker from elsewhere.

 

[Incorrect]

I'd rather Farnworth than Lomax. I think Herbie's asking price would be a bit lower too. I'm just not completely sold on Lomax being the gun strike centre he's being billed as....

I think he's a gun but just a bit of a dopey merkin with some shit in his game, BA will sort him out. But compared to Blake he's a Mensa genius.

 

[Avenger]

All I know is there is genuine interest. That’s all. My issue is he would be a little too expensive. Apparently he is on $750k at the Dragons. Now if the Dragons put in $250k and we opt not to take Simonsson’s option for 2024 (I think it’s a mutual option) and not re-sign Blake it’s doable.

I think he needs to be on a team that will make the semis to progress his career and the Saints cannot give him that.
