It'll be an interesting year for Lomax this year, he'll be a marked man after his good performances last year.



A move to full back for him will allow him to still be in a position to control the game, still be in a position to take advantage of broken play but it will allow him to take a step back from the firing line. He's not looked a liability under the high ball and he's a good tackler.



It would be a positive move for me.



Gaskell has to be in at half back due to neither Lomax or Hohaia having a good enough kicking game to pair them at half back.

its not just the kicking game, either. Lomax and Lance are quite frenetic and rombustuous, Gaskell smooths everything thing out for us with Ball in hand, with compliments partnering one of the above.

I'd go with Lomax at FB, regardless of the England situation

As much as I thought lomax played well last year I don't think he's a scrum half, ive no doubt he can play there and he's a very good player but I'm not convinced he's a 7.





Saying that, we don't know if lance can make a job of it at 7 either.



I just couldn't pick my back line at the moment, I change my mind every 5 mins.

me too!

That's a good position to be in though!

It certainly is but im sure injuries will decide which players play where if our luck is same as last two years.



I honestly cant choose what backs I'd pick this moment in time if all are fit.

I think apart from Shenton everyone else is playing for a position. Hopefully the coach feels the same.

Hopefully the coach won't feel under pressure in to picking lomax at 7 due to his brilliant season las year and lance at 6 due to his salary because lee Gaskell is a must as well as shenton.

I'd be inclined to agree but I do like gaskell so I have to be aware that one game does not really test the lomax and lance combination fully nor is it enough to say they have not developed a kicking game that works. So i'm cautious to say gaskell is a must in the same way shenton or say roby is.

I think we'd have to get very very lucky for two non hakfbacks with no natural kicking game to work but it's not impossible.

For me gaskell is a must you dont get a good kicking game over night it takes years to learn and if lance and lomax aint got it now they never will plus gaskell brings a lot more then a kicking game
