He dropped it a few times in his earlier games, as you well know, smartiepants.

Made my point though lol, he's just a rookie and mistakes will happen!

Rookies are also known to lose confidence.

Leave the lad alone

He is very inexperienced and due to our lack of depth in squad and injury levels he has been thrown right in at the deep end. In previous seasons when we had a better squad he would have been integrated gradually or maybe even loaned out to another team to get experience.

All in all I am absolutely delighted with his performances and his attitude seems to be pretty much spot on as far as i can see. We need to get behind our young players and accept that they are not the finished article and will make mistakes.

COYS

Here here, absolutely right I couldn't agree with you more.

And as for the kick charge down didn't a certain Wilkin do the same against Cas I think it was who went near the length of the field! I rest my case.

Lomaskell is the future in my book!

They're an excellent match. Bectween the two of them they tick all the boxes in what you want from a half back combination. Lomax the dangerous runner, gaskell the steady hand.

Lomaskell is the future until Hohaia turns up and demands to play half back as he's been promised. Hohaia has been pathetic at fullback in the NRL recently by all accounts so the dream of him being the answer at fullback doesn't seem to be alive.

I reckon he could be a big mistake IMO.

Hohaia has been dreadful under the bomb in the NRL of recent weeks so I would prefer to see him at half back. He cost the warriors a tight game last week with 2 meli-esque mistakes under little or no pressure. Re-sign Pryce and put him at full back please Eamonn.

Lomax will be Wellens replacement at fullback.

i agree think this will happen next season with wellens going into the forwards and lance at 7 and gaskell at 6

A waste if you ask me!

why is it a waste its worked with tomkins at wigan and he is one of the best players in the league lomax is more of a full back then a half back

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.

I never noticed myself until we lost to the pies at their place whets he missed a shed load and from then on I notice he misses a lot of one on one tackles.

I just had a look and he's missed 21 this season which is pretty much par.

Edit: It's actually much better than a lot of players.

Did alright tonight did Lurch. His pass to Flannery was a gem.

I think defence is one area in which Lomax has improved considerably since last season, when he was poor. However, he could do with learning how to hold on to a ball and also how to kick, as his kicking game is generally awful.

Really!? He's got quite a chunky build though, perhaps that makes him seem a little shorter to me?
