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

              • How about just asserting our right to refuse. Is their no value in that? We needed him this year. Melb can't have him to play against us.  What about when he scores 3 tries straight through the bloke who replaced him at short notice? Nope.... Not having it....Sit him out for a year and draw a line under it. Write the whole shitsow off

                 

          • We don't need to pick any sort of fight in this, we don't need to be the aggressor. It is also important that we don't portray ourselves as that.

            At this stage there has been no wrong (I think the correct term is "tort") committed. Time is on our side and it is to our advantage to use it. As HOE says below we need to be very calm and measured. Cross our T's, dot our I's and build our case for if/when we need it in the future. We need to be prepared to fight this in court if the need arises but that isn't now.

            • You've also got to remember Lomax might be more than willing to pay us say $500k in damages (I'm not sure what would be agreed to by the parties or court enforced) in order to get a 3 year $700k contract with the storm.

            • your very right with this attitude Adam

  • Some are trying to argue that we did the same with Lomax leaving Dragons. Big difference. He was released with no conditions, 2 years remaining ripped up.

    Dragons did not want compensation or anything just wanted him gone. He then went on to play Origin after all that happened.

  • Melbourne get away with everything. They would have even got away with the salary cap cheating if it weren't for that anonymous whistleblower.

  • Sue the nrl

    • Just pull their pants down. Vlandys wants it to go away, so hammer on it and stand firm and until he agrees...then it goes away

      Sueing the NRL is like sueing your parents, it's a bad move...but kids can manipulate parents and sometimes they just refuse to do stuff that they don't have to do

      • Not a great analogy Rudolph!..... effective for the weak minded, who have you identified (apart from me).

  • When Melbourne is doing well, rugby league is doing well. Or was that Souths?
