R360 Delayed Until 2028: Good News

That's an interesting question, and i've read what most people think should happen, about returning. I think we are forgetting what has caused this issue in the first place. I don't think Lomax was a happy camper, i don't know if the word mental demons is too harsh, but either way, i think Lomax needed to get away from NRL footy. It was weird he agitated to leave the Dragons when on excellent coin, it's weird he sought to come to the Eels, even crazier that he came for $250k less a year. Throw in not wanting to play for Australia in the Ashes and at the first hint of being able to leave the club, ie 8 months into a new 4 year contract he was making noises to see if he could get a release.

Nah he dosnt want to come back, i don't think his head is in playing NRL. For whatever reason, it's sad, but so much writing on the wall. I just hope that he is on some type of leveling out medication, or under some very good advice, because to watch him sabotage his career over and over, is just plain sad. The NRL is littered with players that have done exactly what Lomax is doing, sadly it's rare they ever succeed in the NRL again afterwards.

"Adam, Hopefully, we can build on the improvement we showed over the year, especially the last circa two months.
0/4 (0%) : Horrid start. 5/13 (40%) : Slow growth. 5/7 (71%) : Positive signs.
Many here might not have faith in Ryles or the club,…"
