You didn't address any of my Points

1/. Meninga and coyne played centre at the highest level...They both Rate Lomax...

Do you think you are are better judge than they are.

Lomax has been stuffed around in 1st grade due to injuries and a coach who has played him as middle forward /r.wing/r.centre/Fullback/left centre...

Aitken has had 4 years straight in the top grade and hasn't improved...

The club is trying to offload Aitken, but no one wants him

There are multiple clubs interested in Lomax...

With all due respect, You are wrong on this one...based on the above FACTS.

Believe what you want....Your comparison to Beau Henry is laughable...you claim to have played some form of grade football...and yet you clearly have rose coloured glasses when it comes to aitken

Anyway, have a good afternoon...
Actually the opposite of this is true. If we wanted to keep Zac, he wouldn't be in demand elsewhere.

Raiders only want him because he'll be available as the club won't stand in his way.

He may in time be suited to NRL and may even reach an ok standard but right now he is a long long long way away.

If you so called “know” these “nrl players”, then I heavily doubt they’d be looking through the forums to read us talk shit, and carry on about fake rumours like yours.

My final say on Aitken is that I don't think he's an average footballer, he could be a very good player, just not at centre.
He should have been transitioned to the forwards in a Paul Gallen type role a few years ago. He is taller than Gallen but about 7kg's lighter and a lot quicker. Has the same running style and the trademark tucking the ball under his arm ie; no passing.
Centre is not his go and it's pretty obvious when opposition coaches plan their attack down his side. At lock, for example, he could actually lead the line speed and wouldn't have to worry about lateral movement in defense which is his greatest weakness at centre.
There are a couple of trains of thought about this and these will depend on what happens with JDB.
1. From the Bench as a small power forward maybe to relieve jdb, or
2. If jdb is unable to play then I think we have a ready-made lock he just needs some good coaching in that position.
No good sending Aitken back to reserve grade because Dean Young couldn't do anything with him in first grade. Dean was the first grade defence coach.

Just get rid of him and let him blossom under an ESL coach.

Im in a position to say that many NRL players are as dumb as dog shit and know sweet f**k all about anything and indeed you fit that bill.
It's a bit of a wonder that you didn't achieve a little more on the paddock because if dumb is a measure of ability you have it in spades.
