Imo being labeled as "The Gifted One" early in his career has done him no favours. Unfortunately Zac has listened, believes and thinks he is a better centre than he is. He should have thanked Flano for playing him on the wing this year because his chances of a SOO spot on the wing is more likely than as a centre.
He has "sucked it up and played hard and strong on the wing". FFS, he's been our best player this year. The vast majority of NRL players- nearly all of them- do not train nearly as hard or play nearly as hard as Lomax. If only all 17 of our players had the same "attitude problem". If all 17 had played at his level, we'd be 5 from 5.
I don’t care if he’s the reincarnation of Churchill.
Sorry mate can agree with a couple of your points but not all of them. For starters he was put in a position by the coach in the best interest of the team, his attitude problem is me first then team. He's been our best player in the position he hates, he could be in the SOO picture in a position he hates. Who put him there, what club as now has been proven is paying him way overs for being a centre, stats have shown as was explained to him that he is amongst the worst centres in the comp. So yes he does have an attitude problem, he thinks he's bigger than the club and now wants to go somewhere else where he might still fall on his own sword. We have seen some big name players being dropped to ressies and shuffled around but we haven't had the carry on we have had for months as we've had with Lomax, he's not an immortal or SOO player, as a matter of fact he isn't anything. maybe in his own head he really believes he's the "Gifted One" with a sense of entitlement. And before you go there I would say the same thing about Hunt and still do.
He's clearly not white-anting the club. He's playing very well for the club. Then he'll leave- because he's not wanted- and play well elsewhere.
How can you say he wasnt wanted, he was on an inflated salary for another 2 seasons plus this one, It wasn't the club who offered him a release.
Maybe they can line up Frizz as Lomax’s fight opponent….
My point is that his attitude problem has not stopped him helping the team more than any other player!
He signed that contract long ago. Back then he was wanted. Flanno doesn't want him on that contract.
You may want to consider he is playing at that level to maintain his contract price, which he wont do. He never had stats like that in the centres.
Or… expects market value for what he’s getting paid.
If he cared only about money. He wouldn't have torn up a high paying contract. He played very well at the back end of last year too.
Flanno wanted him earning his keep on that contract. And that was on the wing.
If he wanted him, he would not have torn up the contarct. Notice how he didn't let Hunt go.
I have watched him many times live at Win and Jub, plus Anzac day. As for being a special player, do you rate him above Cooper or Gasnier ?
I know he won’t be better than Reg!
I didn’t say he wasn’t a good player, but that he’s not a team player.
I don’t think seeking a release 7 times before round 6 and visiting another coach for dinner about your future plans is being a team player.
