Lomax is more instinctive than tactically minded. With Hohaia assuming the responsibility of creating space and organising the attack Jonny can concentrate more on his natural game.
With the organised and faster nature of defences these days, 1st receiver is a slightly changed role imo. Lomax's bavery and strength in contact means that he can play close the the line and, as long as he's got short options from his forwards, can both create chances for runners and himself and suck the defence in tight before spreading it wide to the stand off.
