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.

Can't we get a player from Cronulla in all this?
Well Cronulla want to free up cap space to keep 1-2 players for next year, using Ramien's money to front load deals. Why should Cronulla lose 2 players for nothing other than cap space? I doubt they go that far. Ramien is enough as they have two great Centres coming through.
Melbourne will get 2 players, they should feel a little better releasing one. That is why i feel Howarth makes sense.
1. Fa'alogo
2. Coates
3. Meaney
4. Ramien
5. Lomax
Then next year Lomax goes to Centre for Meaney.
I don't think Lomax wants to play Wing. Its a huge huge bugbear to him and appears to be the catalyst of why he keeps leaving clubs mid contract.
Yes 1000% Lomax is going to play Centre at Storm
I hope we get a player who we need from storm who we want i be happy anything else make Lomax sit it out for next 4 years
