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.

And people saying we tried to make a deal as Melbourne were winning what a bunch of idiots.
See what I think alot get concerned about was the distraction Lomax Melbourne and the NRL were trying to bring into this where we just stuck to a water tight agreement and the high ground was ours.Not restraint of trade PVL saying he's trying to keep the best athletes in the game Melbourne trying to say we were hard to deal with all distractions that fans read too much into.
I was so glad that we wanted to go to court because we knew we had as mentioned the high ground.Melbourne the nrl and Lomax didn't want court that was there worst scenario and once they realised they didn't want a deal done to our satisfaction I think nature took its course and we got the result.In my eyes it was an open an shut case really for the courts and it does prove that contracts do mean something and the message hopefully has been sent for others who want to go down this track.
