The interesting thing is LB is what sort of contract did Lomax enter into with his agreement upon release to not play with any other NRL club for the remaining period of his existing contract. If it was done properly with lawyers and lodged with the NRL, I would imagine it would be pretty watertight.
If it was a MOU (memorandum of understanding) I suspect he could get out of it. Is the original contract cancelled and the remaing MOU an act of goodwill? All these things would be known before any legalities were entered into.
The thing about the NRL supporting this in Parra's favour is important as them setting a strong example would certainly not encourage any future moves of players breaking contracts for other codes or clubs, especially with R360 raising its head again in 2 years time.
Its a precedent that works in our favour as long as the legals are intact!
$200k from Melbourne as a transfer fee, plus an extra $1M per season added to our salary cap for 2027-2029 inclusive (no good having extra cap space for 2026). No need for any player transfer then.
How do you figure that? The transfer fee does not effect the cap, its just accumalated revenue, the cap stays as it is now, non inclusive of Lomax, plus it would be a once only payment, doesn't effect future years.
Sorry Iamnot, not trying to pick on you, I know your an honest poster!
"Everyone needs to take a chill pill.
Parra will end up with a first grader and some cash. There is no grand conspiracy, PVL/NRL want Lomax back in the league, Storm want a high level Centre to help round out their best 17. Everyone is happy, Blore…"
"I'd assume if Lomax does end up at Storm and no real player swap is done then he would be banned from playing against the eels until end of 2028 at least. The other clubs would suffer and have to face the storm with a free rep player. They have a…"
