He's been promised a centre spot, possibly from Bellamy dating as far back as Origin. Good odds that Melbourne knew a while ago Papenhuizen was leaving, retiring or going to be medically retired. Meaney to fullback and Lomax into centres would have been their plan.
Push Lomax to get a release from Parramatta, wait a few weeks after he has it and the dust has settled so as to not arouse suspicion, then approach Parramatta wanting to sign him with a lowball offer that in the past, Parramatta would have accepted.
Everyone knew R360 was risky and not likely to be going ahead.
I think with Ryles once Lomax started looking elsewhere at other things 6 months into a 4 year deal. There is no coming back. Ryles is not copping that at all
Maybe Bourban Man can chime in here.
Whilst this seems fairly straightforward, the courts don't always do what seems obvious. I'd imagine Lomax's legal team will be arguing that it's an unreasonable restraint given that the intention was for Lomax to play R360 which never eventuated which was out of Lomax's control. Essentially arguing that the Eels were singling Lomax out for special, punitive treatment. They'll likely show a list of players who've been released without conditions arguing as to why Zac was treated unfairly.
Logic would suggest that Lomax signed the conditional release fully informed including legal representation so the contract stands. However if I know anything at all about the Supreme Court of NSW it's that nothing is ever straightforward.
I hope the Eels win, I'm confident they will but nothing would surprise me.
Don't forget Mutts that Lomax has received offers already from other Rugby Union alternatives so there can be no argument that Parra is being punitive!
Hope Slomax has plenty of money.
A barrister at this level could cost around $5k per day. If he gets a KC/SC might cost $7-8k per day.
The new chairman we have has got balls! Just what we have needed for years
A good Barrister can be $10 -$25k a day. Niche expert Barristers can earn $50k a day.
'I think there are a couple of solicitors out near Mt Druitt local court that work for $2000 a day for a hearing.
Arthur Moses may do it "pro bono" I doubt that Zac will have one as a "contract specialist" for the same price.
Don't forget, I have said it three times now the statement in Parramatta's argument said that Zac accepted his legal advisors advice to accept the terms laid down.....my guess is that Zac has got more chance suing his lawyers than taking Parra on !
But why is Parra starting legal proceedings? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
It immediately would stop the NRL from intervening.
'Zac’s legal team have informed us in writing that he does not agree that the terms of the release can be enforced against him.'
