Rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns has questioned St George Illawarra coach Shane Flanagan switching Zac Lomax to the wing from his preferred centre spot.

Lomax will start on the wing against the Gold Coast Titans after starting on the flank in both pre-season games for the Dragons under new boss Flanagan.

“The Lomax one surprises me,” Johns began on his own show on Wide World of Sports.

“Because at right centre he’s generally the one who can pull something out.

“Modern day wingers are just like front rowers.. they’re just coming out of trouble, running from dummy-half or trying to get the sets rolling forward.

“Lot of rumours and talk that he’s not happy on the wing. Last year there was talk he was going to play five-eighth, so going from five-eighth to the wing it would be difficult.

“I imagine Zac wants to play centre or fullback.”

The Dragons head to the glitter strip for a clash with the Titans on Saturday night.
