We hav'nt seen lomax at all in the first team, so with a season in superleague behind him i'd put smith in first. He'll do well behind a better pack

Yes we have, and I am not convinced Smith will be a top quality 7 going forward. I would give Eastmond the opportunity first.

He's supposed to be a standoff, but have heard he could be a full back. Do you think he could possibly switch to 7?

On limited viewing I think so.

Others who watch the reserves week in week out will be better placed than myself to make a more informed comment.

Sean Long isn’t a spent force and I hope Leeds nab him.

He’s still the best scrum half in the world when on form as proven with the last win over Australia in Sydney a few years ago. Ok he might not be as consistent in games but I’m sure he gives it his all. As long as he wants to play rugby he’ll want to play it well. You only have to look at our very own Keith Senior whose rugby has gracefully matured with age.

Still I can only dream but I can’t see it happen as we have a brilliant scrum half already whose been in a team that has beaten a team with Sean Long in it. He’ll probably end up at a low club but I’d welcome him to Leeds with open arms!

And looked very slick. I can't understand why we haven't seen him since.

Probably because he's 18 and Potter is trying to build his confidence slowly. On the basis of his performance in the Wakefield game I'd have no hesitation in playing him in a home game.

Maybe he needs to come back and play another game, since the Wakey game is some time in the past now. I wonder if Potter is waiting for Wellens to go get his knee fixed before giving Lomax another go at fullback? Unless he didn't go as well in Potter's eyes as he did in ours. The only thing about Lomax that troubles me is his head. To have plates in your head and still be wanting to play first grade rugby league either takes incredible courage or amazing foolishness!
