It is not just Lomax, I remember not long ago when Wheeler, Lomax, Ashurst ,Dixon, Magennis, Gaskell and Makinson oh yes we still had Eastmond at the time; I thought then the future looked very bright for the Saints. Four of those players are no longer with us and the other four have shown a great deal of promise. I still have a lot of faith in Lomax but I think his confidence is low at the present; with a few good performances from the saints pack he will bounce back. Wheeler is a real talent; if only he could avoid injury he would be one of the first names on the sheet. Makinson is a bit of an enigma to me, he certainly has pace but lacks the basic ability to beat an opponent. Gaskell is a player who shows good skills in some departments but at the present he lacks experience and/or a rugby brain, this manifests itself when he has the ball in hand and takes the wrong option on too many occasions. I feel this season could be the make or break for these players. If the Saints youth do not begin to take up the mantle we will become known as the Salford feeder club.
