Lomax has changed clubs to play but orchestrated the victory from the wing

Among them, Ranksvic, Saab and Talau scored 47 of the 118 attempts of Manly last season.

But after the dominant performance of Melbourne on Sunday, Seibold’s main concern was Manly’s inability to break in the battle.

He underlined that from a striker point of view, the Sea Eagles have created many opportunities and found four attempts.

“He could have become really ugly there in a phase, but we continued to fight, and strangely were the breaks of nine lines each,” said Seibold.

Defensively, however, Seibold was disappointed by the fact that Manly was unable to contain the imposing packet of Melbourne.

“We just have to be physically better with our first contact,” he said. “Somehow when the good teams get this momentum, we must try to fight it.”

Meanwhile, Corey Waddell, the Manly bench, is facing a minimum of two games on the sidelines after being accused of a high degree-due to the Tyran Wishart in Melbourne on Sunday.

If Manly were to challenge the accusation to the judiciary without success, Waddell would be forbidden for three games.

Dragon-Slayer Lomax happy with life on the wing

Zac Lomax insists that he is happy to continue playing on the wing after helping Parramatta at their first victory of the season.

Lomax starred in Eels’s 23-22 victory against his former teammates by St George Illawarra On Saturday at the Stadium Commbank, kicking a long -haul penalty goal to bring the game to the extra time, then landing a gold -point Field Goal at the 84th minute to conquer the result.

The 25 -year -old played seven seasons and 114 games for Dragons before guaranteeing a release at the end of last year, apparently because he did not agree with the decision of the new coach Shane Flanagan to move from his favorite central role to the wing.

That moved ironically the launch for Lomax’s representative career has proven, gaining the selection for the origin of the new South Wales and Kangaroos last season.

While Lomax wore the shirt n. 4 Saturday, he played Will Penisini mainly outside the right side and says he is happy to stay there if the coach Jason Ryles believes that he is the best scenario for the team.

“Rylesy just wants me to be on the ball and obviously we also had some different half, as regards our combinations,” said Lomax. “Playing on the wing at the moment, it only allows me to get my hands on the ball rather than not.

“Being able to touch the ball several times that it does not help. Wherever you are, I don’t care where I am.

“Obviously there is a lot of talk for this, but my teammates know that wherever it will help us win, I will be ready for this.

“Wherever it is, in reality I don’t care, to be honest. I just want to get my hands on the ball as much as possible and I hope to get a victory.”

In addition to its heroics with the boot, Lomax brought the 188-meter ball in attack, which included a post-counter with 84 meters of the team.

He seemed to be in full -time tears, even if his insistent later his emotions did not concern the swing “some of my best companions”, but because the Eels had obtained an innovative victory after opening the season with four subsequent defeats.

“I was very estimated to be able to win after losing the first four games,” said Lomax.

“It does not show where our efforts were because we worked so hard and our pre-installation has passed so much and there have been so many changes.

“Obviously he did not reflect on the results, but this was the main thing. We needed to get a victory and of course it’s my previous club.”

Lomax said that some Dragons players have “I was somewhat dignified” before his crucial penalty goal and revealed his relief after obtaining the decisive one-pointer.

“I just had to do the job because it’s the worst thing: go for the Field Goal and you miss it,” he said.

“It’s a 20 -minute restart, so you just have to do it. And thank God we did. We are just above.”

Ryles said he had regularly kicked Lomax in full expansion of 40 meters of field during training.

“He does things in great moments … it’s one of his strengths,” said Ryles.

While Lomax stole the titles, the other extraordinary for Parramatta was Fullback Rookie Isaiah Iongiwho made 222 meters in attack and scored a crucial attempt.

Iongi’s class performance contrasted the radius of two rainy from the captain of the dragons Clint Gutherson, who, like Lomax, was playing against his former club for the first time.

“Apart from Junior (Paulo), I think it was our most coherent player … it’s a talent and I’m happy that we took it,” said Ryles of Iongi, who joined the eels from Penrith at the end of last season.
