What have you got against Lomax and Gaskell? Neither has played a full season at first grade yet (and Lomax had never played at 7 before 2011) but Lomax still got Young Player of the Year award so presumably he showed some talent!
Gaskell has pulled off some beauties in terms of his kicking but is still raw and needs time. There could be other halves out there too but they will all be in the same position because we have no halves out there who are older than them but capable of playing at international level.
More teams need to focus on bringing young players through in our key positions rather than doing what Wigan have done yet again and importing to the backline. There will be centres, wingers and halfbacks out there but only a few teams are bringing them through at present.
