Parramatta have made their position crystal clear, with football boss Jim Sarantinos stating the club will not consent to the player signing with another NRL side unless there is an appropriate exchange of value. Speaking firmly, Sarantinos emphasised that the Eels see no reason to disadvantage themselves by allowing a release without adequate compensation, reinforcing the club’s commitment to protecting its roster and long-term interests. The stance signals that any potential move will need to deliver clear benefits to Parramatta, not just the player or rival clubs.

We would take Stefano or take Jack Howarth and Josiah Pahulu. That's only fair they are getting a top 3 winger in the comp.
I applaud the club and Jim Sarantinos for coming out and clearly stating the club’s position publicly—before the Storm, Team Lomax, V’landys, or the RLPA.
Framing the narrative from the outset matters, and the club has done exactly that.
I really hope we hold firm on this.
We obviously have planned for not having Lomax and don't need Howarth or any other 2nd rung player.
From the looks of it Badger, seems Parramatta are open to a player swap as Sarantinos mentioned compensation.
IMO Howarth isn't going to do it for us. He is not fair compensation.
Personally I think Howarth is the only one Storm would consider releasing but I don't think he would want to leave Storm. I could only see Stefano willing to come to parra but I can't see Storm letting him go. So I honestly think Lomax will end up kicking stones by himself
The storm will reject a player swap that doesn't move them forward. They want to improve their team too. Don't be surprised if it ends up being lomax for money
How does money work though? Money on the cap?
No, doesn't add to our cap. Money is useless as far as this situation goes.
Money is no good to us we need a player
