For the more savvy legal eagles on the site, what does this mean and does it implicate the Storm as it proves they engaged in illegal dealings with a player under contract? Not only is this looking real bad for them, it looks increasingle poor optics for Lomax who showed little regard for the contract's worth and value not only with Parra, but also the NRL. It would be nice to see a little backbone here by the NRL and not screw over Parra for doing the right thing by the player, even though Storm and Lomax look Guilty AF. Bring in the Integrity Unit for this one and buckle up, I think we're going to see even more shady shenannigans.

And yet many in the media have gone with the "it sucks but it's the way it goes as he needs to be in the NRL" approach. Sucked in to them too. Rugby League Guru believes Melbourne have more leverage since the NRL want him in the game saying it sucks for Parra but way it goes. What a fucktard.
What Guru doesn't understand is that once the Court hands down a ruling that's it. Neither the NRL nor the Storm nor Lomax can walk over the Eels' legal rights. Everyone is then forced to adhere to the terms of the release. A fair exchange of value is the only way this gets resolved.
Even Denan Kemp, who was all for us, said do you really want the courts to go on for years. If he was Parra he would just leave to avoid distractions. If anything this will bring us closer.
This notion of its Melbourne, you are Parramatta, let it go it is the way it goes, is the reason we are going to court.
The narrative is now Lomax and Storm is great for the game. I hate it when people say "He should be in the game, the game needs him". Well it seems Lomax needs the NRL.
I think it is pretty evident now that we will not be getting anything ever from Melbourne over how bitter it has gotten. Better off shopping him to another club. Roosters maybe?
Uncle nick wouldn't even touch that lomax prick, they are going all in for tino.
If you can get a good player out of it who cares.
I don't listen closely to those guys but it seems a fairly unique perspective. Overwhelmingly people seem to agree that Parra's legal rights must be preserved. Even Emporer Vlandys will have to abide by the courts in this instance. He can't simply sweep aside the Judge's ruling. That's not how the law works.
I searched "Denan Kemp integrity" on google and got zero results
He can be good to be fair
Guru has his moments but is too cocky now and just sprouts rubbish.
LOL Melbourne 😆 🤣 😂 sad cunts, fake fans, always the bridesmaids.
This is also putting pressure on the NRL to investigate dodgy proceedings with clubs approaching players knowing they have no rights to do so. They have known about it but want to keep their head in the sand. Well done to Parra here. The NRL will make life difficult for us here, but hopefully the majority of clubs will be on our side.
