See that's what I am saying, we are going to get bent. Watch him go to roosters after this comp fails, so fucking done with the NRL. Us as a club are too nice we have no guy or grit to tell this lowy cunt to sit down and what makes no sense is how the fuck we have no cap money for pezet who the fuck are these people running this so call Broncos of the west. Moe, Lenny and Homer jeeeez.
Lomax is a champion giving up his kangaroos jersey so he can concentrate on the eels.
LOL
There's no way the 360 model can be sustainable but with the money being offered to Lomax it will be bloody hard to say no.
Breaking it down (if rumours are true), he is being offered US $1M/year (tax free) to play
Thats $1.5M AUD-tax free-which is more than 3 times what he is currently receiving after tax currently.
If he's playing on the wing in union he "might" do 5 runs a game and potentially extend his career by several years.
Its bloody hard to say no to but very hard to see this going beyond 1 season
Who I spoke to said that amount of money is right.
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.
