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 shitfuckery!
Don't you just love discovery documents. There's literally nowhere to hide. I loved how the Eels Barrister suggested that in light of this evidence the Melbourne Storm may be required to join in the proceedings. Absolutely brilliant stuff. This is getting very ugly for Lomax and now for Melbourne too. Surely the Storn walk away from Lomax now rather than risk being dragged into court. Well played!!
Stage is set for a cracking first game for the season.
We couldn't have asked for a better result when requesting those documents. I agree that Melbourne will now be a little more wary about going ahead any further. I love the way this is playing out, Parra just keep playing it smarter with Lomax and Melbourne being exposed for what they really are. The best part is that the NRL can't do anything
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.
