Just now Anasta on fb doubled down on yesterday saying he knows 100% that Lomax is being offered 3 million dollars a season to jump to 360.
I now believe that Anasta being Pezet's manager is in the loop because Pezet may be coming to Parra using Lomax's money. Anasta is probably softening the blow by announcing this now, because 3 million is a crazy amount to knock back. And Anasta is very close to Jason Ryles .
Ryles has said hes seriously considering the situation, and may let Lomax go.
Pezet in Lomax out
Also, its seems and is looking like Bailey Simmonson could be staying, and that would further confirm the situation with Lomax as Simmonson is now in the box seat to be in the top grade

It's more twisted up and problematic than the actual NDIS...It can't be about the money or that would mean we still have the fucking clowns in the office who caused this crap now in charge of fixing this crap.
That would make us clowns all-the-way-down.....so it obviously can't be that
The real question here.....was there any good stuff to start with?
Da Silva 650k
De Belin 400k
Outs
Brown 1.1M
Joe O 400k
Lane 550k
Hands 250k
Lussick 300k
Cartwright 400k
Make it make sense
That's our boy.....trouble which boy is it?
Add Walker and Smith & Tuivaiti upgrades
Walker too which could be around $300k no idea.
Then add the extensions that took place; Kautoga, Smith, Samrani, Papali'i, Tuivaiti, Penisini, Volkman, Mataele.
Out of them, the ones who extended with having no deal for 2026 were Penisini, Mataele, Tuivaiti and Volkman. Now the others could have had their 2026 deals upgraded to get the 2027 deal over the line. Each re-signing could have an extra $100-200k to the salaries.
But what was not included there either was Gutho and RCG deals. Their salaries were large, no deal for 2026 meaning no over lapping payout. With their two salaries we should have an extra $1.5 mil at least. Did we pay any of the players we let go out? Yeah I think we have some money but none surely for 2026, considering they were off our books in 26'.
In that case I think we should have some room. Before Matto going we should be able to right now sign Pezet.
We have 28 players signed for 2026, including Hands, Matto and Simonsson/Lomax. we could have enough to fill the last 2-3 spots with nobodies but signing Pezet would leave us with nothing for next few spots? But even then I am not sure how it works. Particularly with Iongi yet to be extended and his extension would be the most by a mile when comparing first deal total to gross of new deal.
Are these numbers official or best guess?
If they aren't official don't worry yourself trying to figure out the why getting all bent up on stuff you have zero control of.
