What the hell was that response? Did I say Lomax is bad? Did I say we won't miss him? Did I say he is overrated?
Simply said he is not an X-factor, but doesn't need to be.
If that was not meant for me I apologise, if it was for me then I stand by the comment.
X factor is a relevant term, champions, great, immortals......where he stands for Parra he is as closer to an X factor than anyone else (subjectively)......It was meant for you!
Did you say Lomax was bad ....NO....did you say he was not a game changer YES, Does he score individual tries YES ....Did Reece Walsh not score a individual try from 15 metres and did not run 100 metres to do so YES.....you ran around the issue and wanted it both ways. His kicking and catches were not as good as they had been, your judgement precludes him playing with injuries and maybe being marked much more.....do yo blame Moses for Lomax's not catching the ball because of his entrenchment in telegraphing the move so obviously....Lomax like a good dog still had to chase and fetch.
Finally it seemed to me that you were arguing he was not be a "bid loss" where I maintain he would be a bloody huge loss..... btw Iongi has a long way to go before he is anything like an x factor.....potential to be one....maybe. Not in the same post code of Weekes, Casey McLean and their peer group, at this stage.
Saying X-factor puts him in same bracket as Cleary and Walsh for example. Those two particularly are X-factor no question.
That's not in the argument, are you saying they are x factors, undeniably so along with many others.
I would say that Cleary is a generational player, possibly the GOAT, Walsh was fantastic the other night, so was Latrell at times and Turbo at others.......
I would therefore say that you have x-factor players by degree and you need to be very careful how you qualify them.
Well i qualified the ones that i believe are in another comment. Teddy, Ponga, Walsh, Cleary, Turbo, Latrell, Papenhuyzen. Players like Katoa is getting there if he keeps up with his potential, Dearden could get there.
To me the ones who are X-Factor are those that create something from nothing, those that come up with that play in the dying minutes under pressure. Cleary is the example of course as he is the best in the world.
I agree Lomax provides plenty of X factor what he does changes games.
X Factor imo unmasks itself in many ways.
Ill say this if we lose Lomax we are in trouble and they'll have to lean on Moses even more which is what we don't want.
X-factor is someone who can do something from nothing to change the game. Not many players in the game currently do that. Particularly consistently.
Not saying you, but many see a great player and put X-factor tag on them. To me Walsh on Sunday is definition of X-Factor. Cleary in 2023 GF that is X-factor. Turbo when healthy and firing is X-factor. Trell can be X-Factor, Ponga, Tedesco, Papenhuyzen are examples to me of X-Factor. Those players can win your team a game and can change the game instantly.
But Coryn you can definately see it differently, doesn't mean you are wrong. He is a massive loss for us and not a lot out there that can average 200 per game at the back.
I feel Lomax is not X-factor. However, we are a weaker team without him. His metres in the backfield are top 5 in the comp easily for his position.
X factor is a term whereas contexts massively misunderstood.
What do you consider X-Factor.
Why did the Broncos win a comp with 2 wingers who wouldn't cost over 300k each??? Wingers aren't everything and 700k for Lomax is ridiculous. The Storm Wingers aren't on that much
