    I 100% agree about your last point. It's easy to pick out and target both of them near the try line because of how we attack.
    Yes I agree, we are only 6 games in and opposition teams are getting there act together. Lomax and Richardson have done well over the first 3 games but lately it seems the opposition are finding a way to limit creative space more to Lomax than Richardson and hence limiting the service to Barba.

    The worse thing that can happen is for Holbrook to start thinking again what is the best half back combination, in my opinion needs to modify his game plan to maintain composure when things go wrong.

    I thought Holbrook was totally honest in his summing up. For me you could play that match again and if they all turned up we would win nine times out of ten. So many poor performances and poor ball retention.
    I agree. One of Lomax's strengths' is his brain and he understands that the ball can't always go out the back to Barba as tempting as I'm sure it is to get the ball in the hands of your most potent attacking weapon as much as possible. Lomax has to take on the line, but the trouble is Lomax's best asset is his passing- he isn't an evasive runner like the other stand off on the field Joel Moon, who always impresses me.

    A bad day at the office (for most, not just Lomax) against the Rhinos. I would still pick him at 6 in the next game against HKR. But Fages needs to be in the 17 and putting pressure on him.

    No point in targeting Lomax, most of the team were pretty dire from the 41st minute onwards on Friday.
