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
See I disagree saying good chance we lose in court. All the people I've spoken too involved with law have said Lomax has non leg to stand on.
Only thing that could effect us is them saying take Lomax back and we say no.
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.
Should have had that written in the initial release.I mean to bring this now is still cake and eat it to because he wants to benefit off of his poor decision making.It hasn't gone his way so let's look for technicalities to save himself.Like anything in life poor decisions have consequences of which Lomax doesn't want to accept.
Best example I can think of is if a player tears an acl then the club rips up his 4 year contract 🤣 unfortunate situations happen but you've signed the damn contract
your very right with this attitude Adam
Agreed Adam. Some (even most) fans might want to see the club act vindictively, but sponsors and broadcasters just don't think that way. The club is between a rock and a hard place.
It's just not the right way to do things is it. I have no idea what the final outcome of this will be, as I said before likely that Lomax pays some sort of compensation and it's done - not ideal from our perspective but that's life.
Fair call Adam.
