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.

Nah Katoa hurt, they can't decide between Chan and Lasati for other spot.
It could be a back either Warbrick or Howarth since they might get Ramien.
both in line for upgrades and they will need some flexibility to cover Nick Meaneys departure as well. could be viewed that Howarth stays.
With Ramien and Lomax there is your centre pairing. Not sure why Howarth would stay unless he is going to an edge.
Warbrick won't be extending.
I think separate to all of this, Howarths best position is back row and it's a matter of time until he plays there full time.
Isn't Howarth signed with the Bears?
Thinking of Meaney.
BLORE? Pass. I'd rather watch V'Landys and Abdo go down.
I agree here. We take him, two seasons on the edge, lock it down, move Williams in. Buy Barnett for two seasons to be the 1-2 punc with Williams forming a very strong combination.
No to Blore I reckon. We have upcoming youngsters. We need a winger.
Looking like a deal has been done, we're getting a storm player
