Zac Lomax

[aquiin]

He won’t be fully match fit for centre. Nowhere near fullback.

Field would be the fullback replacement.

 

[Crush]

We live in hope Lomax will be a super star

After the last few weeks the majority of us are in desperate need of several very stiff drinks or a few Valium tablets.

I am still trying to make up my mind whether the team is mentally exhausted or simply doesn’t take their contractual responsibilities to the club seriously.

We need hungry ambitious players with a tough edge who want to win everything.

Not a group of marshmallows

Lomax doesn't look to me like a Nick Cotric type, now thats a player!

I reckon quite the opposite. Most on here are so in love with the idea of Lomax being the best player to ever pull on the red v that they will make any excuse for him if he plays rubbish.
He will be invincible for a few weeks.

It has been said on here that Herbert will not be with the Dragons next year. So surely, if the fullback position is up for grabs, Lomax should at least be given a shot at it.

There was a reason why Dufty was selected over Field for first grade fullback. Unfortunately his defence is even worse than Dufty's.

Why would the fullback position be up for grabs?
Matt Dufty is our fullback and I cannot see Lomax (yet to play more than 4 minutes of 1st grade) dislodging the kid that has single handedly won us a top 8 spot this year.

Because we all think we're the best talent scouts so always go for the shiny new toy.

Dufty is last year's news.

The future is Daniel Robertson, the u/15's fullback for Renown. I say we give him a run in the finals.

Even if you don't think Lomax will play fullback, it's not necessarily Dufty's spot either considering the way he has been performing of late and the fact he got dropped last week.

"single handedly"?
Come on Crush you're not serious are you?

Dufty has not single handedly got us into the 8. If anything he has been a big part of us almost falling out of the 8.

Field also is not the answer, lets stop thinking that incomplete players are the silver bullet. A first grade player needs to be competent in all aspects of the game. If there is a player to feel hard done by it has to be Herbert. Why hasn't he been tried at fullback, we have problems there and he is performing in ISP.

I'd say, why have Nightingale, Aitken and Lafai kept their place in first grade. They have all been below standard since before round 13 and not dropped. Dufty's form slump is more recent and Macdonald's form has been up and down all season.

Lomax is a true out and out centre and should be played there ! Many judges classify this kid as our next Gasnier so leave him there .... He's a centre, a very possible star centre Play him as a centre !!!

If Dufty doesn't improve and can't cut the grade then bye bye replace him with an out and out fullback !! If we don't have one in waiting or in the wings then go to the market !! Simple !!

Didn't i hear once upon a time that Field was our next fullback ???? (he's a half mind you but anyway) I'm sure that came from our impressive management team ......

Enought with the positional changes play them where they should be played and if we need specialists then cause we don't have them then go to the market like every other team does.

If Lomax lives up the the wraps that are on him. He did win NSW under 18's player of the year last year, then he could develop into a marquee player. Fullbacks are more likely to be marquee players than centres. Lomax does have experience at fullback too.

 

[Slackboy72]

Not looking too good so far...

 

[rednwhites]

I wasn't aware he only had one hand.

That bandage has cost us three tries in one game.

Awesome move coach.

 

[My man Gasnier]

Absolutely shithouse. Hopefully he can help the ISP boys in their finals campaign.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Zac had a pretty cracking debut considering he was starved of any proper opportunity by his teammates. No early ball at all.

Anyone trashing him, I suggest you open your f**king eyes.

This young lad gets a big tick from me good onyango zac

 

[boardlumps62]

Christ are they dishing Lomax ready. Did they actually watch the game and that right side did look a bit tighter than the past. Does he have some speed im hoping.

 

[My man Gasnier]

Only six hit ups, a couple of poor dummy half runs. Along with a handling error and giving away penalties. No speed or footwork to even break the line or a tackle. Bombed three tries. Definitely needs a bit more work in the development set up at this stage.

You do realize he has been out for a couple of months....He looked as if the hand injury was still bothering him...taking that all into account, he leaves Aitken for dead...the kid is only 18 years old..his defense was very good....Aitken still has the same flaws in his game after a number of years in 1st grade...granted he has had no proper coaching in that time but regardless Lomax has far more upside.
