We could give it a trial run wheh Super Leon returns.

Has anyone considered Lomax may be too short for full back?

Preston Campbell played at fullback very well and he is a midget.

Tomkins is full back behind a very dominant defence always pushing forward so half the time teams kick on the back foot.

Lomax has been excellent for us at half back and I for one think he should stay there.

If we ever get Leon back I thought last season some of his best games were at full back coming into the line with that long stride thats the way I'd go.

And I also agree with the earlier poster that Lance could be a mistake or at least cause more problems than he solves.

He's the same height as Slater and Lockyer as well as being taller than Minichiello.

Height wouldn't be a problem. He's more or less same height of some top quality fullbacks.

One things for sure, if lomax does move to fullback, if anyone makes a break it will be a try because he defence at times is shocking.

Lomax's defense seems okay to me. The only tackles he misses are mismatches with big men. He handled Tomkins well in the derby.

Really? I thought his defence was very good.
