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.

Its Warbrick or blore by my calculations
There is chat about Lisati, Chan, Peel, and Leo all playing round 1. Could end up with both and Storm embrace a fresh start/rebuild.
Theyd have almost a 80% different 19 come round 1 2027 from round 1 2025. Kind of checks out.
I said Leo Moses from the start, beast of a player.
he's a good prospect, maybe him + cap relief or something? Eels will accept anything that helps the football program and that would
Leo is not that good.
I reckon we could have gotten either one from the start.
We could've taken Lomax back if we wanted to. I don't know why we didn't? Maybe they didn't like his attitude.
Parra could've easily made cap space to bring him back
This is only a guess, but I'd say its because he's a selfish, egotistical mercenary.
I think the caoch has drawn a line through his name and fair enough.
The only way you don't take him back and the only way is if Lomax has outwardly said he doesn't want to come back then your hands are tied.I think the clubs bent over backwards giving Lomax what he wants this is the thing that's being missed here.We've protected ourselves in the best way necessary and now Lomax wants his cake and to eat it to off a poor decision hey guess what not our problem.
Parra are being made out to be the unreasonable party here.If Melbourne we're in our space they'd be doing exactly what we are doing they no they would.The fact that there CEO has tried to lobby PVL and the nrl privately is another indictment on them as they no they haven't a legal leg to stand on there the ones that don't want to go to court and I think they no they aren't winning there they no hence these last minute negotiations.
Thats why I mention Parra don't mind going to court Melbourne crying foul to PVL and are desperate to get Lomax in there side desperate.
