Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"I don't get that mentality. Lomax is finished, permanently. He's no faster than Barba is and he's been out for a year and is in terrible condition.
Barba was the one of only two sources of creativity and threat last night, Richardson being the other. Yet you want to drop him? I know he's not fit, but I don't see how not playing him will help that or us. We won't win a semi final or final without him and possibly won't with him either. But we need to give him the time in the side, for the sake of next season if nothing else.'"
Lomax takes 99.9% of high balls and very very rare he misses tackles.
At this moment in time due to barba being so unfit, id say lomax is 2 times the player barba currently is.
If it was swift dropping all these kicks and looking like barba does then everyone would be saying get shut.
Yes barba is a worldclass player and I do think he will come good but this is play off rugby and every game is must win, it's not pre season friendlies what are used to get match fit.
