  Very well worded statement, perfectly done by the club. Don't let the nrl or Lomax push you around

  💯
  
  Melb wants to take all in the negotiations. Fck Lomax and fck Storm.
  If there's other clubs willing to offer fair value, the door is still open.
  Finally this club has developed a back bone!

As they should, no rush at all to do any deals, our team is set for the year lol. Let it go through courts to the side

Well done, this is the start of us becoming a big power house. I said from the start take Lomax to court and if NRL intervenes take their ass to court as well. We have the power here.

Melbourne approached Parramatta late last year... this stinks and the NRL integrity unit should have been all over it. I'm still convinced Melbourne were negotiating to get Zac before he was granted the release, knowing Papenhuizen was not coming back. Using the fact they shared the same manager.

  Sorry I just saw this. That's exactly what I wrote in the other blog. That's exactly what's happened.

    looks like it. This fight just got bigger. What say V'landys? Is he gonna investigate or just make a statement (joking, same thing).

"MON handles player contracts, but for something like Lomax's release, it would have been signed off on by Jim and the board with legal advice sought regarding the release conditions."

"It serves Parra to have this sorted quickly so if Melbourne are forced to hand over a player if they want Lomax, we get that player before the season starts.
And you don't just wake up one morning and decided to go to the Supreme Court. It's likely…"

"Yee Hah. We have recognised a good fight and have shown spirit in taking it. We have jammed vlandys here and bruised his ego. I approve and encourage."
