Eels and Storm in last minute talks before courts

Apparently the case today has been delayed due to Parramatta and Melbourne engaging in deep talks to get a deal done. Negotiations had ran overnight. What is hilarious is people on social media believe Parramatta know they will lose so are making a deal. Ummmm no this is the NRL not wanting to be involved and not wanting their stuff leaked so the heavies are on Melbourne to get something done. 

The rumour at the moment is it could be a three way trade. Jesse Ramien's name has been floating around as Cronulla want cap space in order to front load contracts for next year. One rumour suggested Melbourne would get both Lomax and Ramien, therefore Melbourne would be more open to releasing a player if they get two. Now could that be for example Howarth since Ramien will be one Centre? Maybe but it seems a deal could be struck at the 11th hour.

A separate report also suggests the call from Parra for Lomax not to play Round 1 could still be on table.

    • Welcome Tui hahah

  • If it's not favourable for us just walk away.

    The way you here PVL speak he's fully on the side of Melbourne and has done the biggest about face with regards to tough talking there is.

    Do what's best for the game he reckons 😂 cmon Peter how bout the club that hasn't put a foot farken wrong the whole damn process how bout you say something positive about that.

    Like it's been talked about ad nauseum Lomax is in this situation because of his own decision making he's a farken adult Peter and adults make good and bad decisions.The nrl has lost great players before and has bounced right back don't make this out to be bigger than what it really is especially when as above Parra have done absolutely nothing wrong and are only acting in the best interest of its members the club and the game despite what's been echoed by its leader.

     

    • All to help their little baby storm who need 14 rep players every season to fight the afl 🤣

    • So it's ok for PVL to say "do what's right for the game" acting in his own self interest but it's not ok for Parra to look after their self interest? Also he said "Lomax is a marquee player and we don't want marquee players playing for opposition codes". Well fucking deeeeeerrrrrrrr. Exactly what Parra are arguing you dull cunt

    • Vlandys words in support of storm and Lomax ..such as " eels got Lomax for free" "  won't see him go to rugby" blabla ensure Melb's cap is unaffected by Lomax signing imo. Another quote from Vlandys that seems to have disappeared off fox article was " parra got Lomax for free no issues " funny thing is I just looked up for precise wording and it's gooorne haha prob too much of a dckhead comment for any profesh to have made.

      Vlandys now paved the way for plenty more players to break contracts I guess

      cheating horribles they all are. Melb get off completely free  it seems despite their disgusting form throughout and get exactly what they want endorsed by filthy Vlandys ethics :((

      Im proud of  the club for taking this on and pray it's a reasonable deal we settle for and exactly what Ryles needs wants with no must take per Melb wishes   🤞

      coz actually I'd have loved to see us trade with a club who can offer whaT we want argh well :((

  • I would be very disappointed if we fold & just get money in return, we would have failed this whole thing if Lomax ends up there and we end up with "compensation ". We'll see. 

  • Oh man this isn't sounding too good.

    • last I read ball is in storm/lomax court to get the deal done. Must be something that eels like in return 

    • How?
