He was pretty special tonight. I was going to give my MOM to a forward, but the forwards worked so well as a pack, that it was hard to pick one out above the others.



In a way that's how a pack should be all committed to the effort, so the glory boys can take the bows.



Lomax was the one back for me that did not put a foot wrong. Don't get me wrong the backs and forwards were good, but if you were hyper critical you could find fault.



Jonny was flawless tonight.

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
