Zac Lomax

[Jersey No 14]

Congrats Zachery for earning the Kangaroo Start.

 

[Parko1310]

Hopefully his spectacular flick pass returns to his game when he plays for Parra.

He already tried it on multiple times in that Parramatta game debacle where he was picked at centre. He showed in that game what his performances are/will be like at centre.

 

[JubileeJeffro]

be interesting to see how many games he gets at centre before Ryles decides to move him back to the wing. I reckon 6, any longer and he risks his state of origin position.

 

[maestro1]

If he plays centre, he'll lose his origin wing spot. I doubt he makes it to play in the centres for NSW. He'd have to be absolutely braining them as he would have Turbo, Best, Staggs, Ramien, Crichton & Campbell Graham in from him. There would have to be a lot of injuries.

 

[JubileeJeffro]

His only hope of continuing rep footy is as a winger. 24 was easily his most productive and best performing.

You're the flog because you shortened his interview to suit your hate Lomax agenda.

According to the interview this is what he actually said.

“I pride myself on competing on everything. I did all my pre-season at fullback, then I got chucked on to the wing.

“I was confident coming into this season, and I came in with the mentality of wherever I played, I wanted to nail that position and be the best possible [player] in that position.

“I pride myself on being a footy player. I love playing wing. I’ve loved every minute of this season. But I want to play centre.”

Any person with any comprehension skills would work out his use of the word "chucked" was not sinister but more a sign of his limited vocabulary.

After all, S F did say that Lomax would get a shot at FB and it never actually eventuated which is what he tries to encapsulate in the first paragraph.

If the word "chucked" had sinister connotations then why would he then say "I love playing wing but I want to play centre"?

Lomax isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but he has his reasons for leaving and at no stage has he bad-mouthed the club, his team mates or S

Yeah from what I heard he didn’t take the news he would be playing wing very well at all…..#brat

Madge is no longer the SOO coach so he might not play wing either.

All this S F unlocked him bla bla bla is all pinned on the fact he got picked for SOO but other coaches may have seen things very differently and never picked him so only time will tell if he is actually unlocked.

If he hadn’t been picked by Madge the conversation wouldn’t even be taking place

I don’t rate him in the best 2 wingers at state level let alone test.

 

[senior]

he'll play centre, flop, and then he will be back on the wing by round 10

I agree OT but I still think he has a better chance of rep duty as a winger

We know you hate Flanagan but the blah blah you refer to is inaccurate..
He has played his best season ever, because Flanno moved him to the wing where he got more involved and became an aerial threat..
No more stupid flick passes and inneffective shimmies that was his go in the centres.
This got him selected for SOO. He won’t play centre at SOO, as there are many better centre options for NSW.

And i say this with constructive criticism only of Zac, he can not pass left to right with two hands and struggles with right to left but is tad better that side and that is fact. He was not even in the top 20 ranked centres in the game last year.
@Old Timer wont credit the coach with anything so it is becoming boring now and he has to make a rationale up just so it denigrates any sniff of a positive he has added to our club.

I actually agree with you this time.
Not to get too excited i only agree with your last point

 

[RedVee]

But he is our latest Kangaroo rep

Can't pass left or right? I'll be interested to see what kind of boxer he is with limited upper body coordination.

Well for starters, as a winger, he is behind To'o and possibly Turuva.

The Flanagan haters seemed to be so one-tracked and rusted on. Cannot bring themselves to admit any positives about Flanagan. They are so dogged determined and every post is an excuse to bag Flanagan. Sure he has made mistakes, but he over achieved with the crappiest roster in 2024.

 

[Budpower]

Finau will be a better all round winger for us than Lomax in a few years, just praying we can keep him!

Keep that to myself but someone who should know

And what is the evidence to support your assertion?

Sigh. I've tried telling you for the last few days in this thread....... Jason Nightingale interview earlier in the year. In summary, Zac was very upset about the "switch" and Nightingale was trying to talk to him about it.
“I sat down with him (before the season) and he said ‘I’m playing wing’ and he was half disgruntled about it.

He tried to talk to him about it as a positive and Zac was very resistant. "He didn’t listen and he doesn’t listen".

The key quote - When asked if he prefers Lomax on a wing or in the centres, Nightingale said: “I’d like him to just say ‘I’ll do what’s better for the team’ but that’s not in Zac’s make-up unfortunately."
