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
Come back to your roots kami
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
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?
In all honesty it's a shit show by all parties, Parra included.
1. the club should have worked on Matto and other dead beats to try and get Lomax back. Retire Matto, work the system like every other smart powerful clubs.
2. When Storm weren't willing to let anyone we wanted go, start putting out feelers for other clubs that may want Lomax and may have someone we want or even an up and coming junior.
Dealing with Storm who has a direct line to V'Landys is crazy. This club will end up getting bent over and giving in... just watch.
