I wonder if Steve McNamara is regretting his decision to keep Lomax out of the England side yet?

Re: J-Lo the magnificent : Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:06 pm  

It's the fact he does it in attack nd defence that's so satisfying for me.

No, I wouldn't have thought so. Tomkins and Hardaker are fine fullbacks, so I doubt we'll see Lomax playing there for England any time soon.

I actually think Lomax looks the more rounded fullback of all three of them.

Fair play. He had a good game.

It shouldn't be forgot that Lomax was getting plenty of stick on here recently. He's proving his critics wide of the mark.

I wasn't one of them giving stick but for those who were, it was as a number 7 and the stick was more about him not being suited to that position. Turns out those people were right, wouldn't you say? The lad is like a person reborn at fullback.

Re: J-Lo the magnificent : Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:39 pm  

Like everone else I thought he was excellent.
Getting out of the goal area without touching down and the tackle on Reilly were the outstanding parts of his game tonight for me.

My only reservation as such is can he take being whacked every week without injury?

Lomax was not getting stick, just as Lance was not getting stick.

The only comments about them was that they were not half's and we where a club that was FB heavy.

We still are, but Brown is making the best of what he has. He's tried nearly every possible halfback we have and for sure Wilkin is now a shoe in at 7. He may not be a 7, but by god, he has brought us organisation and temperament.

I particularly liked his end of match interview. The SKY spin started with you are looking alot happier this week. Erm no, SKY just don't listen, last week he was happy with the way we where build and felt we where getting there.

I agree. Lomax has both a very good offensive AND defensive game. Whereas Tomkins has his flaws defensively.

I'd say lomax has to be number 2 to Tomkins atm.

Not seen much of hardaker this season, is he injured? I think he kind of rode the wave a little last season. Maybe that's a tad unfair.
