Lomax will definitely be at #1 with Wellens definitely at #13. Cast iron, 100%.

I'll have to think of some new material if that's true. Part of me will be sad, end of an era for both Wello and myself. That has been one of my main go to topics for a good few years now.

Any suggestions?

I'm not entirely sure, you'll just have to see how the season progresses and find a new target I guess. Mind you Wellens will still be playing so there's still a few side swipes to be had.

LMS could be an ouside bet,

Nathan Brown stated it as a fact on the red button show tonight. He said that Wello was aware of the plans and fully supportive of the change. So we have a new fullback. Wello is to play loose forward. You're going to have to think up a whole new reason for being!

I think Wello could be a revelation at 13.

Finally J-Lo in his rightful position.

Lovely stuff.

I wonder if Steve McNamara is regretting his decision to keep Lomax out of the England side yet?

It's the fact he does it in attack nd defence that's so satisfying for me.

No, I wouldn't have thought so. Tomkins and Hardaker are fine fullbacks, so I doubt we'll see Lomax playing there for England any time soon.

I had lomax over hardaker

I actually think Lomax looks the more rounded fullback of all three of them.

Fair play. He had a good game.

It shouldn't be forgot that Lomax was getting plenty of stick on here recently. He's proving his critics wide of the mark.

I wasn't one of them giving stick but for those who were, it was as a number 7 and the stick was more about him not being suited to that position. Turns out those people were right, wouldn't you say? The lad is like a person reborn at fullback.

Like everone else I thought he was excellent.
Getting out of the goal area without touching down and the tackle on Reilly were the outstanding parts of his game tonight for me.

My only reservation as such is can he take being whacked every week without injury?
