  • Your deffinetly not the only one mate
  • Supreme court case is locked in for mid September. Hopa's been a total failure at Parramatta.
  • I think everyone agrees that we no longer want this guy at the club, the problem is how does this affect our cap and roster moving forward...
    • Miatch, we appear to be in as much limbo as hoppa's camp is, my info is that the NRL have sided with them and have told them they have a legitimate deal despite the fact that it hasn't been registered... This is why I believe we haven't been able to announce anymore signing in the top 25 and probably won't be able to until this mess is sorted, I wouldn't expect anymore signing announcements in the immediate future and be prepared to put up with vai toutai as a FG centre all year... This may well cost us Robo too, so whilst we're all happy to see the back of hoppa, the damage his legel team are doing to our squad moving forward is huge..
      I hope I'm wrong but I doubt I am

    • If we settle out of court i don't believe it will count to the salary cap. As I have said before parra are fine for robbo to go as there is an attitude issue with him! Why do you think we have kept luke kelly? He is the best trainer at the club!! Under BA attitude off the field is just as important as it is on the field!
    • The out of court settlement is no different to paying out a contract... It still comes under the cap, why did we try and offload him to manly to begin with?
    • Actually I'll go one better, why the hell are we offering any form of pay out?
    • Ok Miatch, if we're paying 200k for the next 2 seasons than that's an awesome result for our club.. I'm expecting the hit to our cap to be heavier than that but that would be an outstanding result if it's just 200k
  • If your willing to take the club to the Supreme court surely your future is in limbo.

    Its a bit like taking your boss to court, would you go back and work for him? NO chance, he wouldn't want you and you wouldn't want to be there.

  • We better be able to miatch, otherwise young hoppa will have to answer to some angry eels fans. Dirty kent.

"I think Braith respects Ryles as a coach and what he's doing at Parra and obviously believes Lomax did the wrong thing, listened to poor advice and brought this all upon himself and did the wrong thing to Parra"
