"Vaealiki was a very underrated player. Him and the smiling assassin (Inu) would be great. As would Tahu.
IMO Smith was better as a second rower.
Can't pick Lyon. He was good for us but his best days were at the other mob. "

"In a way, i'm glad a deal didn't get done. If it did, i think the feeling would have been that we lost & succumbed to pressure from the Storm & NRL as we wouldn't have gained that much. $400K is not really that much to carry for this year. This way,…"

Gawd please drop the matterson dumping talk to Melb Parra! Why let this talk sully our win. The continued talks to persue dumping Matto vibe, detracts from our great outcome. Just wear the 400k loss please. It's to melbs advantage only to keep it going makes us look a touch contradictory :(

If it did, i think the feeling would have been that we lost & succumbed to pressure from the Storm & NRL as we wouldn't have gained that much. $400K is not really that much to carry for this year. This way, the whole narative changes, we now have most pundits & supporters seeing this as a win for the game & restored some faith in the value of contracts. I also think we have seen the effects straight away with the Warriors, they let Dylan Walker come to us on compassionate grounds because their just good guys, but they saw our case & thought, hang on, we can do that too, now they're demanding a player in return for Barnett
As much as PVL wanted Lomax to be in the NRL, i think this outcome is a lot better for the game with everyone, not just Parra fans, regaining more faith in the integrity.
I see your point Hammer and it's a noble one.
