That is true about our depth. Simonsson was our main back-up for both Centre and Wing. Now all we have is Samrani for Centre. We have Richie as a Wing/Centre yet to debut, Tago as a Winger is average. Nobody else and no kids really coming through.
Doesn't just make our back 5 weaker but our depth too.
Well my mail was right to start with. Oh well, it is a loss but at the same time we want players who want to be here. Let's not sugar coat it, this is a loss for us, he made us better. But all we can do now is move on and see who else presents themselves.
Great news, maybe Moses will pick his kicking game up now that he hasn't got his bum chum and kicking perdictable high balls to him all the time. As for yardage he made fuck all post contact mtrs in the games I saw and Baily at his best would match him though centre is his best position.
I can kind of see it from Ryles perspective. In the short term, he can use this coin to get another signing where we are weak, and in 2027 he is definitely rid of Matterson which frees up money to get him back if R360 falls through.
Lomax is definitely a loss, don't get me wrong. But if Ryles didn't have some broader plan in place, he wouldn't have let him go. I mean, he was brought to the club as a centre on centre money. His defensive issues couldn't be worked out, and he is on the wing on centre money.
"
As for the value of wingers today, I believe strong yardage wingers have gone past the importance of strike centres. One thing the Eels have had recent success with is finding quality wingers. Both Semi and Sivo come to mind. Send some recruits…"

Devo!
I am lost for words, i hope simmo is not replacing lomax. Thats a downgrad.
Well to be fair unless you sign outside of the organisation, anyone in the organisation is a downgrade. If they weren't they would be starting.

Ok i will admit that did do my head in as it was so predictable and 19/20 of them Lomax didn't do anything with the ball.
Can see Richie getting NRL crack at centre with Russell going to the wing.
Man thats depressing
