From The Sydney Morning Herald...
Melbourne’s pursuit of Zac Lomax could prove more costly than expected if the NRL deems the club’s promise to cover the exiled winger’s legal bills should be included in the Storm’s salary cap.
Parramatta began legal proceedings to prevent Lomax from joining the Storm, given his release from a four-year contract was contingent on the Eels providing written consent. The Blues winger was granted a release to join rebel rugby competition R360, but has been left in limbo after its inaugural season was put back until 2028.
Lomax’s hopes of making his Melbourne debut against former club Parramatta in the opening round have been thwarted after his court hearing was scheduled to end a day after the AAMI Park clash.
According to court documents made available last week, the Eels claim the Storm indemnified Lomax’s court expenses.

Something along the lines of this I think they are looking at in the front office. Need experience in the middle, a 1-2 year starting halves option. and en edge player, ideally experienced.
You can throw Lorima Seuseu in that list as well.
Lorima Seuseu has the potential to be our best outside back produced at the club in a very long time. He is like Makisini from the Tigers. I rate him more than any other centre and winger in the juniors at the eels. However he only turns 16 this year so long way to go.
very much doubt volkman will get extended dynasty
Only reason I think he remains at the club is on a minimum wage deal to have someone integrated in the culture available as an experienced head in NSW cup to help steer the team around. I agree he is not going to be a priority signing and he hasn't kicked on as expected in the NRL and most likely he won't be poached by a rival. Do you think he'd be worth keeping for that kind of situation?
I would love Brisbane to chase this option, it would absolutely twist Lomax's nuts in a vice between finding a contract in the NRL and not losing his legal case, but also screw over Storm who are paying for his legal bills, would have to take his legals bills into their cap, and don't end up with Lomax in the team!
That would be glorious if it happened, but we're not that lucky.
Clint, I still reckon Canberra were actually interested.
They have a great young backline, I'd be surprised if Sticky tried to bring Lomax in and break that. Could be wrong though
Less about us being luck/beneficiaries and Brisbane or another premiership contender seeings it as an opportunity to hurt their rival in the Strom. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Dynasty, do you realise that Walker is 32 next birthday and De Bellin is 34 and Paulo 33. I could not imagine seeing Walker in great demand, 2 years may see him out of Parra into retirement. The 2 forwards De Bellin and Paulo will have there time constrained by there performances, we have players now playing to 36.
Do you also understand that Nikore moved back to NZ to be with his very sick wife and his children, he never wanted to leave in the first place. Nikore also is a very inconsistent player that has his moments within matches but is no where the potential of what we have.
I don't know if you concocted this "pracy" using AI but are all those thoughts and structures your's originally?
