Lomax kicked just as well as O'Brien in our last match, in terms of success ratio I mean. If Lomax, Turner and Makinson (especially Makinson!) practice their goal kicking in preparation for the games ahead then it's quite likely that we won't miss O'Brien's rather good goal kicking skill as all three have been very good for us in the goal kicking department in the past.
However, we will miss O'Brien's willingness to get clattered in the line. We don't have halfbacks and those who are playing in the halfback positions don't take the ball up to the line with the same enthusiasm (and bravery/foolishness) that O'Brien has been doing for us.
Still, maybe we are now used to not having halfbacks and perhaps we might even rediscover the enthusiasm for discipline and defence that we found against Wigan (but we lost again in the second half against London). If we do, we may just beat Wakefield.
