Rumours and Stuff

You want Lomax? Invite Flanno over for a home cooked meal at BAs. Pour him a double Negroni and deals done.

 

[Gazzamatta]

How do you draw the conclusions?

Something like: if there are no injuries, and he gets more than 0 in a close game, possibly forced.

Ask me after the game. Ill have the perfect answer then.

What an ideas man!! The Eels need to get you involved with the club mate.

He made a comment about boods maybe?

Who’s boods?

What About Harper for Lomax …. I mean it pains me but we can’t expect something for nothing

Sivo

 

[The Predictor]

what I like most about that is the three in reserves

Gutho played wing when he came from Manly and we all knew he wasn't a winger but he showed a big heart and determination and it got him some NRL experience and the rest is history.

As long as Talagi is no prima donna and he's willing to start on the wing, this may work out OK.

U can’t be a prim donna, if u can’t tackle

Flanno?? More like a hit of hgh

 

[84 Baby]

Is he still being paid by the Dogs?

We can trade them Morts’ contract

I put it to you that physicality wasn’t his problem but rather it was his concentration and positioning in defence that led to so many low percentage attempted tackles.

We saw his physicality when he ran over Trbojevic.

What did we see when another 18yo in Galvin put him on his arse with a simple fend to set up the game winning try?


He is a kid and cant tackle to first grade standard. Its not unexpected in a kid his age and size but it is what it is.

Lomax is an incredible piece of business by the club. Recruitment team definitely deserves flak for the depth in our outside backs but they also deserve a sh1t-ton of credit for getting this done and I’d argue on unders.

Lomax is an elite level signing, who is in elite/career best form. I’m genuinely not sure who the last blue chip signing we had who we can say that about.

His knees are more busted then Hodgson when he arrived.

Unless its on bare minimum i wouldn't be touching him

He's a very good centre.

Kieran Foran!

I think it’s been “forced”. With everything happening Talagi would of course want assurances he has chance at first grade. Lomax probably blows that opportunity out until decisions are made on more senior players.
We are not the only club nor BA the only coach this happens to.
What the selection says to me is they think Talagi is a player worth keeping, as do I.

Agree and if you keep him in or around the 17 he can fill In at centre, 5/8 and fullback...
Plus because he's quick he can bit of an x-factor in the later stages of each half and especially in warmer conditions like Darwin where there may be more fatigue

Will Hopoate was a massive signing at the time before he went on his two year sabbatical.

Didnt we carry him on the cap for those 2 years (2012-2013) he was away as it was originally a 4 year deal which is why he agreed straight away after the 2011 GF to sign.

What a brain-dead lunatic decision that was another Kearney masterstroke.

Galvin was already moving away from him at the point of contact. That benefits the attacker. The key to defence is to get your body in front, which starts with correct positioning at the play the ball. That takes the fend out of play. Talagi is fast and strong, and used to being able to make up ground on attackers who get outside him in the lower grades. He made 20 tackles against the Tigers, so he can obviously tackle. The problem was our effort was down and so our edge defenders didn’t get as much help from the inside as yours did.
