I agree, it seems people are forgetting how well Lomax and Gaskell worked together last week. At least in the first 60 minutes anyway. I would try him at Full Back though if Simmons wants to continue with his rotation. Look how well it worked for Tomkins.

Sorry but I don't think he is a halfback, I'm not saying he won't do a job there but hes not creative ebough for a scrum half and has no kicking game.

I think he's a very good player with potential to be great player but I just don't see it at halfback.

People say hooker but I'd like to see him as a fullback.

Totally agree with this pivotal combination, Lomax would be a nightmare to the opposition coming into the attacking line from full back. Wheeler is wasted at centre and should be the major pivot. We,ve never replaced Scully, Roby has the engine to work at 13.

Don't worry, they will be rested next week

So? He looked like one last week!

Longy had poor games.
So did all our other halfbacks.

Sometimes, players just have off days. That doesn't mean they aren't good at what they do!

I said HALFBACK. I didn't say SCRUM HALF!

His kicking game is inconsistent but so is Roby's. Is Roby not a hooker?

Against Salford we scored a beauty of a try from a great chip over the top from Lomax. Lomax scored today by chasing his own grubber.

You really do talk out of your backside sometimes.

Wilkin seems to look good when you are winning, but never seems to drag you from the losing to the winning position.

Conceding only 17 is a step forward though, get it down to 10 or 12 and you are in business

What Jonny Lomax and Saints need is better coaching. Sean Long is the man we need and he should have been handed a contract as soon as he retired. He is already working wonders with Salford. He could get Lomax playing well and also get the team motivated.

Sure. I'm a big fan of Lomax's, and he has had some great games at 7, but given the amount of options we currently have in the pivotal roles I don't think his position is quite set in stone yet.

One issue we certainly have is that we only have one decent kicker in the side. Every time the ball goes to anyone other than Gaskell on the last tackle the chances are the result will be poor. Bringing Wheeler into the halves would add a second kicking game to the side, would give us some variety and would take some pressure off Gaskell. I think if we had that combination, with Lomax joining the line from fullback, we'd immediately have a much more dangerous and far less predictable back line.

[quote="Saddened!"]Hohaia is complete and utter #;@! shouldn't have been signed and shouldn't be playing anywhere. Same goes for Wellens.

Lomax or Makinson to 1 and Swift to 7.[/quote]

Muppet - Swift has never played 7 for either Blackbrook, our 18s or 20s
