Zac Fulton has been released from Manly and will join the Bradford Bulls immediately in the super league.

Exactly

Gay Dad joke

 

[Thresher]

I still haven't seen it actually

Check the medical waste bin

 

[BurgoShark]

Rumour has it soccer dads are gay. Find another thread.

Found one.

Seems like there are enough people who are interested in the junior/coaching conversation so let’s move that talk to its own thread.

Official - Junior Footy + Coaching

One big difference in Q Cup is that no feeder team gets 10+ players every week from their NRL team like the Jets do... so you are competing for spots most weeks with another guy on a Cup contract rather than training all week and then dropping to 3rd grade because all the fringe NRL guys come...

Competing for a feed in a line of dudes

Yep, sounds gay to me

Eels are trying to get Lomax along with the roosters.

 

[Western Sharkie]

Eels are trying to get Lomax along with the roosters.

That will mean 61 players in their Roster.
Thats not allowed!

 

[Sparkles]

Eels are trying to get Lomax along with the roosters.

He'd go well at either

Not sure what Flannos angle is by playing him on the wing.

 

[BurgoShark]

Not sure what Flannos angle is by playing him on the wing.

Some commentators have suggested a bit of switcheroo at times. Think Peachey/Simmonds back in the day.

Not sure what Flannos angle is by playing him on the wing.

Peak Lomax could pretty much pick where he wants to play, I'm sure Flanno's hoping he takes the hint and steps up

It’s probably the highest ceiling back 5 but reliant on Sloan taking things up quite a bit.
Obviously done enough in preseason to earn the chance but buying in another winger could suggest it’s far from a season guarantee

Would you want Lomax on 800k? An inconsistent, not-that-young gun? Maybe Flanno would just be happy to have the money back.

While generally speaking I do rate him he’s also
- failed at fullback before
- failed to beat Sloan for fullback now
- at his best he’s a strong goal kicking centre who offloads at will*

*will is the name of the ballboy I assume given how much he throws them over the sideline

800k is a joke surely

Swap him for Iro and 350k

 

[BurgoShark]

Swap him for Iro and 350k

Newtown will be stacked (and over the cap).

 

[deano the p]

Definitely a centre in my mind. I don’t rate him as a fullback option although he would be a strong ball carrier on the kick return (which they will get through him on the wing)

 

[Proud Shark]

800k in the new cap isn't bad for Lomax. Put him at Penrith and we're talking about him as the best centre in the comp IMO.

Dunno about best centre but agree, he'd definitely improve.
