NRL: TEAM NEWS - Nathan Cleary returns for Panthers and a huge shakeup for the Brisbane Broncos due to injury.
Dragons legend Jason Nightingale has admitted it’ll be “ bitter sweet ” to watch Zac Lomax depart the club at the end of the season to join the Eels.
“I sat down with him and he said ‘I’m playing wing’ and he was half disgruntled about it,” Nightingale told the“He asked me — I don’t actually know if he listened to what I said — but I said ‘wing is better than centre so you should appreciate that you’re not in the centres any more.’” “That’s obviously partially natural ability by the fact he’s genetically blessed to be that fit — but also want and will. Seeing him apply all of that is the reason he’s getting the rewards on the field.”
And neither Flanagan or Lomax — or any of his teammates for that matter — have shied away from admitting the 24-year-old isn’t too happy about it. “It’s a bit bittersweet, but the reality of it is that’s when the business of sport gets involved and you do have to accept that. He’s also a big fan of Illawarra Steelers’ SG Ball captain Hayden Buchanan, who trained full-time with the NRL squad during pre-season.
