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.

      • R360 isn't potentially starting until 2028 after the RWC here in 2027. If Iran is still fighting the US/Israeli coalition then we are not going to be worried too much about footy.

  • Blore to Warriors

    Barnett to Eels

    Lomax to Storm 

    Works for me

    • Now that's a great deal

    • The Warriors don't need Blore there also loaded with young back-rowers and middles.

      They just released Bunty Afoa also.

    • Blore wants to come back to Sydney.

    • Eels need a winger not a forward 

      • Well not according to MON and Ryles.

        • Why would they need another forward
