    However he got 4/10 with the 5fa being robbed by Grandma retiring hurt after a barrage of bouncers

    If it’s anything like his passes from centre, then it’s over the ropes, a 6 every-time

    There it is. Came. To make the same. Comment.

    He finally found a sport where launching the ball into the crowd is actually the goal.

    The players need to step up. Ezra Mam took one for the team last year, who is going to step up to the plate and create some content?

    Broncos doing most of the heavy lifting. Even former broncos like McGuire coming through too

    Tigertown is providing plenty of material, no need for anyone to step up.

    Wanted to play as opener, got 11th man. I hear he’s looking for a new team already.

    He's played cricket for years. This isnt even new, let alone newsworthy.

    Been named in the test squad for Adelaide, opening the batting with Weatherald and opening the bowling with Starc. Keeping in place of Carey also…

    Lomax isn't an NRL player so who cares. 

    According to the media he has gone from League to Union to Boxing to MMA to Cricket 

    In 6 weeks.

    So far my man is fighting in the UFC, boxing, playing in the rugby World Cup, playing in the USA and now cricket. What can’t he do? (Plz don’t say “see out a contract”)

    NRL media in shambles with very few scandals to write about so far this offseason. Outside of standard Tigggers drama

    Look. I would probably have a few beers in the afternoon and watch lomax play cricket for interest. Why not.

    What's the cricket equivalent of offloading over the winger's head and into the first row of the crowd?

    I think it's second slip diving in front of first and spilling it, when it would have been a sitter for first slip.

    As if this isn't common. I'm like 99% sure Cam Smith played cricket in the summer.
