Players we should sign

Hi Frank
In answer to your -
"ps There is no appropriate thread for this post and was an after thought from my last post."
there is the "Other Rugby League" thread. If you go to the Home page and scroll down to the Dragons Lair Club the "Other Rugby League" is there to cover what you posted, Is this right Eric?

Yes. Frank Facer knows. We exchanged PMs. I know not many people look in or comment anywhere but https://sgiforum.com/forums/general-discussion.9/ but the best way to change that is to start posting there.

Not a big issue. Almost everyone has a pet-peeve or whatever the opposite of that is. Mine is that the last few coaches have been way too timid promoting young players. I just think almost everyone appreciates content in the appropriate thread. Personally I don't see a difference between this and recruitment and retention but as I said, not a big issue as far as I'm concerned.

On Zac Lomax. When he was 18 he said he saw himself or his best position as fullback. He was apparently promised to get a decent crack at fullback for us and that may have indicated why he was on an 850K season long term contract. He never got a decent crack at fullback and was a revelation on the wing.

I am thinking, if he signs with Melbourne and is given a decent crack at fullback. He may be NSW fullback within the next 2 or 3 years. Edwards's position doesn't look safe. Teddy probably only has another 2 seasons left in the NRL. If I was NSW selector, I would have picked Teddy at fullback last year and have him penciled in as NSW fullback this year. Tom Turbo is 29, has been injury prone and has never locked down the NSW fullback position. I consider him unlucky not to have played fullback for NSW. If he had been given a decent shot at NSW fullback and been injury free, I believe he would have been very successful there.

If Lomax is playing fullback for Melbourne, he will be playing in top 4 team, with Bellamy as coach and Slater there to give him some extra coaching at fullback. He may turn out to be a revelation at fullback for Melbourne. In saying all of that, I wish we had given him a decent crack at fullback, when he was here. He had Dufty and then Slone blocking his path. If he does become NSW fullback in the next few years, then he would be worth 850k plus a season. Lets see what eventuates with Lomax and Melbourne?

Fletcher Sharpe is the other one who I think can be NSW fullback in the next few years, if given regular game time there. Ponga does have a history of injuries and there is media conjecture of him possibly moving to Easts or another NRL club and also talk of him wanting to play for the All Blacks. So Sharpe may get a decent crack at fullback for Newy.

Iongi from Parra is another who could be NSW future fullback. He looks like a very good prospect.

Mitchell is said to be moving to the centres this year, which would probably rule him out of being in contention for fullback for NSW.

Iongi is a Queenslander I believe
