The important thing now is continuity. Let's hope the lads don't pick up injuries and Simmons refrains from playing musical chairs positionally.

I can't remember the referee that was mentioned, but Clarke said that he said Lomax was the only person he'd met that got 100%

All the more reason for him never to get penalised, then.

It depends which side of Billinge you belong to though. I am on the good side. While you turned to the dark side. lol I saw the light, Rogues.
No matter what part of Billinge Lomax comes from - he turned to the right side.

As you've seen more of lomax, eastmond and wheeler than me.

Who did you feel was the best and why?

i've always thought wheeler was the better player, but struggled with injuries.. eastmond was simply outstanding week in, week out for the first part of last season.. lomax is probably just behind the two of them, but learning fast, at least when it comes to playing at that level consistently.. i think a lot will come down to injuries in the future, but lomax has all the potential to be a class player..

i think wheeler, eastmond (albeit not at the moment), lomax and foster are certainly a cut above the rest of the youngsters in the squad

Minor point of order, we have all been congratulating Lomax on a great SH perfomrance last nihgt, when in fact Gaskell playd at SH for most of the game, with Lomax at 6. I realise the positions are failry interchangeable, but is he a better 6 than 7?

I don't think it matters. As a pair they worked well together. Granted, they won't always work that well together - they are young and inexperienced at that level - but I think it's the partnership that counts and they complemented each other well.

Re: Lomax : Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:30 pm  

Had a good game and handled the responsibility well, but so did Gaskell who had a pretty faultless game.

Unless injuries hit, I'd be giving them a run in the positions until Pryce is fit.
