Looks like we will get shafted once again, I wonder if the NRL would step in if it was the Tigers pushing to get Lomax

      • I know how life works LB, you don't need to explain it to me.

        • 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!

  • NRL are only acting as mediators. The contract still holds. As long as we dont fold and the contract is deemed legal we still hold the cards. Allowing a player to effectively break 3 contracts in 2 years is a bad look for the game and would set a very bad precedent.

    • Agreed  If you signed with R360 you were not to play in NRL for 10 years. They need to be careful how tjey handle this. R360 will come again so precedent may well damage the game.

    • Yeah agree, opens a whole jar of worms 😂

    • Mediators or bullies?

      He will proclaim and we will lift our skirts and curtsy....and hope they use lube on us for once. Yeah, lube would be nice.

      We should demand some Lube... If they really want Lomax then Show us the Lube
