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

      • 100 this is the issue now Melbourne have cried wolf the rules have changed and no matter how we look at this the fact the mentioned is involved is hurting us by the minute.

        If it comes to it I hope the club continues its stance and goes to court don't let it slide we have a legally signed document and our case has been put out there by our ceo why would we buckle now.

        Stick to your guns Jim this is a war we can't afford to lose.

  • 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

       

       

       

    • Mediation with a gun to our head.

      The NRL has leverage over all clubs. Unless ALL clubs other than the Storm stood against this together, I think mediation will be VLandys looking for this to go away, not for it to end fairly.

      Unfortunately the cards we hold are only good ones if the NRL backs us, and it appears they aren't.

      • Captain, so far V'landys has publicly kept quiet, which is telling. The implied "intervention" threats are via the media. Perhaps, as a proxy.  What are you suggesting is his "gun to our head": our NRL licence or grants? 

        • I don't think he has the gun he thinks he does. I would call his bluff and pick this fight. All in

           

  • 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.
