I agree 1000%! I think Stevo just gets transfixed by Foster's hair.

And who wouldn't?

It looks very simular to mine

I thought Lomax was very good. Gaskell improved out of sight this week with a faultless performance. Roby is just Roby.

The above said, I agree with the MoM. Foster was solid all game in defence and attack, but those were real pressure kicks off the touchline and his try was like something out of the NRL.

Re: Lomax : Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:16 am  

Very impressed with lomax @ 7 . Let him have a go at making the shirt his own for the next few games. Regardless of who plays there though I'd rather put Meli in at 7 before Ea$tmond

Gaskell looked far better this week but I think some of that is because he had a halfback partner providing some support

Re: Lomax : Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:18 am  

Lomax really is an all action player! Loves taking on the line and his 2nd effort when they've managed to get hold of him makes him look even more dangerous!
Gaskell, and to a degree, Scott moore added the steady hand to keep us going the right direction.

Basically we where just a whole team for once. Everyone played to their ability. Even with some guys out there who probably would not normally play. ie Wellens - ribs, Clough and TP - diseased midweek.

Lomax injured on Friday night.

All stood up and provided the effort, even if they had lost I would have been pleased with the effort.

TP was deseised? Good god. Clough stood up and got himself back on, but Perry still only played minimal minutes. Jammer pulled up the slack though.

The more stories you hear about Lomax the more emarkable a yongster he sounds.
We know he plays with a steel plate in his head.
Clarke's anecdote about him taking the refs exam and getting 100% was interesting.
Someone, (i think Ski) posted a story about seeing him out on the town with his mates, and he was drinking water when they were all sloshed.
Royces words about his confidence in their meeting midweek.
Add to that he seems like a committed defender as well as a good attacker, he sounds like the type of kid any coach would want.

I think the opposition will bring a howitzer to stop this guy next time!!

Or is that too much

Well rumour was one of them had tonsilitus (sorry for spelling). Not sure which it was????

But both were rumoured to be doubts to play. TP was great going forwards and the more we get of that the better.

Looks like the injured are still a few weeks away so same team again next week for mine. Nice not to have any injuries after this one for a change.

Lets hope we don't rush people back before they are ready, the league is looking very fluid at the moment with teams up and down.

Re: Lomax : Sun Mar 20, 2011 9:34 am  

You guys have some exceptional young talent epitomised by Lomax. Looked like he had been playing SH his whole life.

Whenever you lot apparently fear been hammered by Leeds you beat us (apart from the GFs of course )...and beat us convincingly.

Is it all a thinly disguised attempt to lull Leeds into a false sense of security ? Meli looked a good centre with power and a decent pass or two to his goalkicking/ juggling sensation wingman.....Weller is a great positional FB and looked class.....what's wrong with y'all ? Stop ya complaining.

You're correct about Lomax not drinking, but then again I am led to believe that Eastmond doesn't drink either.
As for Lomax being a Wiganer, sadly not, all his family are staunch Saints supporters.
