He’s been soaking up knowledge from the coaching staff and from the other players. You can really see him evolving every day,” Burey remarked.
The Western Force has high expectations as Lomax prepares to make his mark, especially given his impressive background in rug. Having played for St. George Illawarra in the NRL, Lomax’s athleticism and skill set are expected to translate well into rug, offering a dynamic option in the backline.
