Rava was a beast but unfortunately the NRL ruined the poor fella after all the bans he copped for what were at the time good hits by Olam but suspensions for Rava. I feel he has not recovered since as he has had to adjust his tackling and some people like Radley have done a good job doing this where as Rava has struggled. He does not have the same impact with the opposition and is not feared as much as he used to be.

Well it is clear to me that Lomax is leaving because he was able to get a clause included in his contract at the Eels to allow him time to partake in some boxing. While he couldn't get that with the Dragons. He says that he just loves the sport of boxing - as per

Suspended once is the nrls stupidity .. 3 times in one season for the same thing is ravas idiocy .. as it is he should have been pinged for a late hit on a bloke not in possession late in the game .. just a stupid uncoachable liability

Soo proud of his performances this year, especially in SOO. He dominated QLD. Keep it up for the rest of the year & beyond, a very special player.

Yes this year not so much next year, he will struggle with the big personalities like Gutherson at the eels and I see him reverting to the player the dragons had for the last 4 years

Agree he played well, but last night for instance I would rank his performance 4th out of back 5 just in front of Chrichton who was quieter.
Dont get me wrong NSW played well and Zac did his job as part of all that but again apart from leaping well and catching and efforts in hit ups I dont see him as outstanding the way the media are rating him in respect to busting the line, try scoring dives and speed. He is great for us at club level. For instance IMO Toó got through the line better and looked more dangerous last night. Except for the Roosters no club team has the stars around you like origin has.
Great win Blues

Wow, I saw it differently. Crichton bombed a try and was far below his normal level. Best scored a good try, it dropped some critical balls too. Don’t rate his performance Like others. To’o was good, but I rate Lomax higher. Good returns. Always there to take the extra hit ups. Solid in defence, even smart, an aerial threat, great goal kicking. I actually thought he was arguably as good as Edward’s who was everywhere.

We agree to disagree. I rated him in front of Crichton. Too always gets through the line and looks more threatening. Edwards and Best made far more breaks and more crucial tackles. Best's try was crucial for the win.
But as I said he played good and tough.. no debate there and kicked 2 very good crucial goals.
He just is not the all round threat most other the top wingers are in attack breaking the line, speed and acrobatics in diving for the line etc...especially if they talk about picking him for Australia
If he does not catch a kick have you ever seen him beat, step or burst through an opposition to score is all I am saying
But the efforts for taking hit ups and catching in the air..one of the best!

Jesus, the hate for lomax & disdain for his performances is pathetic. Toxic fans.

Wo betide a good player that ever decides to voluntarily leave the club.

Many in here will find a way to ridicule them and flip them the bird in their way out regardless of what good they did for the club.

It is often debated in here why good players don’t come ie coach, location, BOD etc our fickle fans wouldn’t help either.
