Why no Lomax for Roosters?

[The Marshall]

He is great on the wing but can definitely handle centre too. Experienced now and a competent goal kicker to back up Walker. I reckon he’d thrive at a decent club.

Agreed

[Billy Gunn]

I would say that is the reason Tupou was extended.

Lomax is having a great season, and I think we would have gotten him for a reduced price as the Dragon's would have kicked in, but we don't want clauses in any contracts.

[HunchoRooster]

I think he wanted 850+ and seems to be hot and cold at that price range. Still question marks on his best position and attitude at times.

I like him as a player though.

[King Salvo]

Lomax is a star and would have thrived at a joint like ours but if he wants to box as well, then the club made the right decision.....

You would think it would be the last thing you would want to do. Not sure of his record of concussions in league, but if you don't have one, why start one by boxing?

You shouldn't pay anymore than $600k a year for a winger.

That might have been the case 10 years ago but wingers are actually very valuable now, they take majority of the tough carries to help out the forwards for the entire match. They are actually more valuable then Centres these days.

[A Country Member]

Maybe it was because his ex is also employed by the club? It would be somewhat awkward.

The Storm are winning the comp. Xavier Coates is on $450k a year. I'd imagine that Will Warbrick who's their other winger would be on less.

Do you honestly think that Toops and Young are on $800k a year?

It’s purely because Wingers don’t get the credit they deserve.

If we think about it differently and look at how much work they do and how it positively impacts their team during game day than perhaps a winger like Toops is worth $650k. I never quoted $800K.
You said NO winger is worth over $600k.

100% correct

I said that you shouldn't pay anymore than $600k a year for a winger. The Storm are winning the comp with wingers that are on less than $500k each a year . That extra money is better spent on spine positions or quality strike centres. Good wingers are a dime a dozen hence why their average salary is the lowest.

Give all wingers $2 million each if there was no salary cap but unfortunately that's not how it works.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope you know who get's sidelined for 2 years!

Neither is anything else Latrell does but everything he does always gets on the Chookpen.
