"I'm not entirely sure Lomax lost a lot of money. There's talk about a golden handshake and a signing bonus with R360. I think more will come to light over the next few weeks or months, but I think Lomax will pick and choose what he wants to do next.…"
"Todd Smith has been appointed as the referee for tomorrow night"
"Funny how Brent Read and the likes claimed only Melbourne wanted him therefore should let him go as nobody wants him.
Maybe it was Zac that refused anyone else Brent?"

To be fair, no one tried to force him out. Melbourne put an offer on the table and he knocked it back.
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 :(
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, 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.
Maybe we can hand Matto over to the Warriors for Barnett? I mean, NZ is such a lovely place, Melbourne is, well, Melbourne...Matto can learn how to do the Haka as well.
Was there any player swap included? Or was it just Matterson and the 💰💰? Can't see how that would help Parra except finally getting rid of Matterson but the the Storm get Lomax a current rep and state of origin player. So what benefit is that? Don't blame Matterson for saying no to Melbourne cheats
