Lomax : Sat Mar 29, 2014 12:47 am  

I think it's going a little under the radar, but Lomax is having an unbelievable season. He's such a talent.

I think Hardaker gets bigged up too much, I think tonight shows how Lomax is the more complete player. If he keeps this form up he has a chance for England. However I don't think he'll ever get his chance because of the hype that Hardaker gets. A triangle of Widdop, Lomax and Tomkins could be pretty special.

I can't see anyone shifting Tomkins. He plays in the NRL don't you know!!

Lomax has been absolutely fantastic so far. His work with makinson and swift has been absolutely fantastic, and automatically putting us on the front so often this season so far. You just have to watch the makinson pass behind their own in goal to avoid a drop out to know these guys know each other inside out.

He took on a lot of the creative work today as well, and was absolutely superb.

Lomax, and tommy mak at least have to be in contention if they can keep their form up!

I thought lomax started the year pretty slow and I know he felt the same way but he's getting better and better as the season goes on.

I think lomax was our man of the match last night. He provided that little bit of X factor that IMO just tipped the man of the match his way.

I'm not suggesting he'll replace him. I think there's room for them both

Not diminishing his talent which he undoubtedly has but his desire, commitment and sheer workload was an example to everyone last night. He seemed to be involved a couple of times in every set.

It's always a decent sign if your 7 is willing to take a few bumps for the team.

Re: Lomax : Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:31 am  

Lomax is a similar player to roby, he is becoming expected to put in a great performance every week, and so doesn't get the plaudits he deserves. Great to have two players like that in the side, who give us a real solidity as well as some sensational plays as well. They will be at the heart of saints for years to come.
