Lomax : Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:03 pm  

Great display from Lomax tonight, would suggest at least the equal of any performance that Eastmond has ever produced for Saints. Great to see all the biscuit kids complete the game, if they can keep fit, the future is looking bright. Regardless of the outcome of the Eastmond investigations, I would hope that we never see him in the red vee again.

I got a stiffy at one point

Both Lomax and Gaskell played very well, I thought Lomax was man of the match. Gaskell has shown far more promise as a 7 than Eastmond ever did, and I'd go as far to say that Lomax has shown more as a half-back tonight as well.

Eastmond is a fantastic athlete, but he has never been and never will be a half back. Put these two in until Pryce gets back for me.

Lomax was m.o.m. by a long way tonight.

I was disappointed when the Sky guys chose Foster for MoM. He was very good, yes, but I thought Lomax was superb. He shone out there. Mind you, so did the rest of the team. Best team performance this season by a country mile. Shows what we can do when we have the right attitude across the board.

Said exactly the same.

At a sportsmans dinner last year, I asked Potter what his thoughts were on Eastmond potentially defecting to RU. He said Saints are producing youngsters with the potential to be better players than Eastmond, and said Lomax is one who could easily eclipse him.

At the time, I thought he must have been on something.

Now, I think it's more like he was on to something.

Not disappointed at sky's choice at all. Let Sky hype up the winger. Don't get me wrong Foster is good, and if he attracts the attention all the better. We need stability at half back and if we all started raving about Lomax, who knows Union may come looking again, Agents love hype.

Lomax was the best, but lets not add more pressure after 1 game.

I thought Lomax ran some good lines and got himself through, Gaskell controlled the kicking really well. Finding ground almost everytime.

I think that shows the difference between having 2 half backs, and 1 inexperienced half back trying to cover all options whilst the other is on a sabatical.

I thought lomax was awesome tonight and I thought the change of position to scrumhalf was just what he needed. He was more in the thick of it and showed just how good he can be.

In another post I posted how I thought lomax hadn't progressed much this year but it might have been the fact he hadn't been involved in the game enough at left centre.

I think we should give him a good run at 7 now and see how he goes at 7.

I thought Gaskell had his best game for saints tonight and deserves big wraps. He even put some good kicks in today.

Lets just keep the faith for a few games. They will have off games and good games, lets not hit the panic button when the mistakes do happen and start dragging out all the old aussie names we can think of.

When Wilkin returns lets leave him at loose rather than stick lomax back in the centres. I'm sure Gaskell will have no issue playing only the occasional match when Pryce returns and same goes for lomax.

Gaskell seams to be the kicker and Lomax the runner so it maybe that Gaskell keeps his spot when Pryce returns, even though lomax caught the lime light tonight.
