Lomax is not a better 7 than Myler at all. Lets face it Lomax at 7 has as much of a history as Jon Wilkin at 7, only he did his wonder show in a more important game than Lomax.
Lomax is a future 6 or 1 for Saints. He should IMO be given the fullback shirt at the end of the season when we sign a half back. Or the 6 shirt if Leon goes.
The rumour is an interesting one. But:
a) Why would Myler want to sign for St Helens? - He is a regular starter for the Wire at 7, they are a better team than us and with the next 3 or 4 year pretty much guaranteed to be successful
b) Why would Warrington let Myler 'come to Saints'? He is their regular starting 7 and to let him leave would probably see Monaghan move from 9 to 7. This is where it used to fall down for them as he is far better at 9.
The ONLY way I can see anything in this is if Warrington had pulled another stonking NRL signing out of the bag. But how could they given they are surely at the quota and we would surely be in a stronger position
