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.

Yep, i have seen the sudden shift of "Good on Parra, they should fight this" to "It sucks but move on".
That is why i recently love listening to the likes of Willie Mason and Dan Ginnane who tell it like it is.
This sudden shift sponsored by NRL and Storm.
It will get worse, we just need to keep at it.and keep leaking No one will be feeling sorry for lomax any time soon if we keep our end up
Thankfully we have not flinched an inch. Well as far as we have seen.
Some people in the media need to be checked for HIAs and/or drugs.
I just saw a clip of Caine and Fletch, with Caine suggesting Storm should give us an up and coming young gun a part of the deal then mentions Storm giving us 31yo Tui. I had to watch it again to make sure I heard his stupidity correctly.
You cannot be taken seriously when Fletch is making the reasonable comments.
It's because it's the story that Melbourne to win a comp in Bellamy's supposed last season is wonderful and Lomax helps. If they lose say a Howarth that damages it.
There could be pressure from Lomax and his camp to get something done if 10 year ban is on table since it seems he had signed with R360. Now Melbourne might just brush their hands and move on, or they will talk the talk, be stubborn and get him and try and win a comp and say "See!!! got one over you". But could there be a chance that Melbourne feel pressured from Lomax and someone from Melbourne is talked into making their way over.
Of course, you wouldn't want a player forced to come here but if you allow Parra to talk to players they could be convinced. Example Howarth, chance to be a back-rower by the end of 2026, plus instead of $500k salary he could get $650k. Just an example spit balling. He could think "Yeah, that's a good deal".
get something done if 10 year ban is on table...there is no table, there is no backend to his empty threats.
We should pin this hollow badge right on vlandys chest, not NRL, HIM.,,,,,,,He freshened up his brylcream and got all toughy-tough for the media. If Zac signed intent with 360 and vlandys does nothing we should fucking drill him for it.... Then when he bullies backchannel and in media, gather friends and leak all over him....Scorch him and let the jackals do the rest
Fuck being the nice guys, it would be poetic justice if he ends up going to the Storms then gets rubbed out for the year. And I hope Storm never put their best 17 on the park all year long
I also have "Brown's torn acl says sayonara this season delivering Newcastle the spoon" on my Poetic Justice Bingo Card
I'll be very surprised if Lomax ends up at the Storm. Wouldnt be surprised if he is told to return to the Eels until his contract is completed or until R360 offers him a definite deal or he's told to join a Rugby Union club. If Lomax gets his way it will be create a very bad precedent for other players and clubs
