Zac Lomax

[Old Timer]

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."

Well Nighty’s now a coach and psychologist lol.

Your last paragraph “key” quote from Nighty especially the last sentence shows he should just stick to making coffees because what he intimates Lomax can’t do is exactly what Lomax did do and without a yelp.

It was a purely and simply a fluff article that tried to show St GI in the bad light the media always shines on us.

Lomax has shown complete and utter professionalism in his attitude and performance.

On the back of the Nighty interview some posters said Lomax should not be picked anymore and that he would dog it and spit out his dummy well did he?

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.

FFS Lomax had all those skills already.

The thing that changed was how he was utilised ie game plan.

Him getting picked for SOO was more about Madge and the media rather than Lomax himself.

As I said before I think there are better wingers than Lomax and I would have picked them ahead of him.

I give up. Drink the Kool Aid OT.
You've been incorrectly ranting that there's no evidence Zac not having a bad attitude about playing on the wing. You get it given to you by a premiership winning player and accomplished entrepreneur who runs several businesses (coffee was never his main business I presume you know).
I'll take Nightingale's version. You know, the guy who was actually involved in the conversation with Zac.
I've tried with you. You're just a sour old nark who doesn't have the good grace to contemplate an alternate opinion even if it's given to you in black and white.
Have resisted the ignore button with you because I usually think alternate viewpoints can be helpful and I've thought that the one thing we've had in common was we wanted our team to get better and become successful. But you're just ranting like Grandpa Simpson lately and I doubt that's going to change any time soon. I'm not bothering anymore.

lol at you

Because I don’t agree with you it’s all on me for being this and that.

Exactly where is the evidence you suggest in your second sentence?

The word chucked and a fluff article with Nighty other than that was it in his performance that showed it or perhaps was it in the article that you conveniently redacted?

There was no poor performance, there was no dummy spit on or off the field, there was no maligning team mares or coaches or club but there was an article with his own words which you seem to willingly misconstrue.

Lomax isn’t exactly my cup of tea either but he doesn’t deserve criticism for something that didn’t happen.

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

Stupid comeback. Nothing to do with limited upper body co-ordination required for boxing relative to passing a ball backwards to a moving forward player whilst yourself moving forward.

Ok, so which other coaches have played him on the wing?

Getting picked for for SOO surely started with Flanagan, you agree ?

It’s possible, even probable, that everyone’s opinions on this subject are correct. He didn’t like being moved to the wing because he prefers centre but, having been moved there, he went about his game professionally. He obviously prefers positive reinforcement to criticism and prefers BA to Flano. Was it a master stroke or just a lucky one? We don’t know, but it turned out positive. Bye Zac. Good luck.
