  • Hard no. He has a contract. No transfer fee nothing. Parra aims for the 2027 Premiership with Lomax on one of the wing positions.

    360 they can have Matto, Hands and Joey Lussick.

  • Ryles is building a team that wants to play for Parra.  Lomax is after a pay day just like Brown and good on him.  The good thing is Ryles doesn't seem to concerned.

    Tom Jenkins lost his spot to Alomoti this year and is only signed for 2026 I believe so can negotiate from November 1.  If Panthers are willing to release him early he would be my pick but I can't see them letting him go.

    If not Cobbo, joins dolphins next year and they are already stacked in the outside backs with Herbie and Averillo in centres, isaako and Bostock on wings, hammer and fuller at fullback.  Add in Cobbo and some good young talent like Junior Tupou in reserves and there will be quality not playing regular NRL level. 

    • None of them are active Origin centres. Lomax is a marquee player. We don't have many of them.

      We go 2 steps back if Lomax leaves. What tells you 360 wont make a play for other players ie Iongi? Are we going to bend over everytime someone throws money at our players? Fcuk them. They can take what we leave by the bins.

       

      • Why keep a player if he doesn't want to be here?

        R360 is real and if i was a player I wouldn't say no its a bigger threat to super rugby and other comps some league players will go.

        Personally as a rugby fan its exciting. As a league fan its scary. 

        Season doesn't start till October maybe valadys should get into bed with them and allow players to ho on short term contracts like the IPL and T20 comps let players go maximise there earnings. 

        • That will never work. Clubs won't risk injuries by allowing their players to play for another code. Can you imagine the uproar if Lomax or any marquee player, does their ACL and has to sit out a full season of NRL. I can't see that happening. 

        • R360 Competition starts in early October so players wouldn't be able to play NRL finals as they would be in pre season for their rugby club.

          Cricket is a bit different as you don't have to build combinations and learn different attack and defensive structures as a team.  Coming from league if players go to rugby without proper training they injured themselves in scrumsbamd other technical aspects of rugby.

           

      • Origin wingers *

        Would you say Lomax had more impact for us than JAC? Just asking.

  • Lomax has a hip injury, wouldn't surprise me if he was carrying it after Origin. 

    R360 has also hit a hurdle in that 8 of the leading rugby nations including Australia, NZ and England have all said they'll ban players from representing their country if they join R360.

    As Clint Schifcofske said, right now, the competition doesn't even exist. There are no teams, no coaches, only a rumoured start date.
