Andrew Johns<\/a> says the Wests Tigers<\/a> are "morals" to win this weekend thanks for some puzzling St George Illawarra<\/a> selections.<\/p>\n

\ufeffDragons coach Anthony Griffin<\/a> swung the axe on gun centre Zac Lomax<\/a> and hooker Jacob Liddle, as well as Jaiydn Hunt and Toby Couchman.<\/p>\n

Lomax in particular was a shock, given he earns upwards of $600,000 a season from the club and is considered an Origin-class centre when at his best.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI feel for Zac Lomax," Johns told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n

"I don't think he's been playing anywhere near his potential (but) he never gets the ball.<\/p>\n

\"Zac<\/p>\n

"\ufeffAnd he's playing on the other side of the field. He's predominantly a right-foot stepper and they've got him on the right hand side.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffHim and (Moses) Suli are both damaging centres, they never get the ball in space. I reckon Tigers are absolute morals."<\/p>\n

The Tigers won their first game of the season in round nine and are shooting to make it consecutive victories when they head to Suncorp Stadium for Magic Round.<\/p>\n

Johns also thinks Storm and Rabbitohs could be "the game of the season" on Saturday.<\/p>\n
