Perth Bears GM refuses to rule out play for Zac Lomax

Current Perth Bears GM of football David Sharpe has not ruled out making a play for Zac Lomax, saying if the clause is cleared by Parramatta they would pursue him. Well issue is David you have nothing to offer us in order to waive the clauses. It is not like Sydney Roosters coming to us and saying they want Lomax and we can say we want Victor Radley in return for example. They would have nothing to give us. Now in 2028 could they as they have a roster and are a year in? Perhaps but wouldn't they just wait for another year and get him when his deal ends in 2029? 

This is a nothing story, i put it up incase someone else chooses too. I wanted to get a head start and just drown it.

  • Tran$fer fee?

  • Who cares 

    • Did you not read my blog? I mentioned it was brought up by me so others do not try to make a story out of it.

      • Yes I know I am just over it he wasn't even here for 12 months obviously wasn't real interested in the eels so I and not every interested in him 

  • Being the new club, do the bears get some sort of salary cap concessions? Given his release conditions I'm wondering if we could get some sort of cap relief in exchange for him going there?

    • Well that's what i wonder about the transfer fee, what does it do for us?

      • Yeah not much, wouldn't hurt to approach the league if the bears actually want him and see what arrangements (if any) could be made that in some way benefit us. I had a giggle to myself over how you described the Pezet signing the other day.

        • The only thing the eels can get is a transfer fee. It doesn't help the team in anyway, it doesn't go towards the cap, all it does is help the club financially. 

          If we don't want him back and or he doesn't want to come back then the club should release him to an NRL team but only if they pay a transfer for all 3 years remaining on his eels contract. 

  • Sell his contract rights to a team with cap space and something to offer us. Raiders or Roosters. We dont want Toby Sexton or some Superleage Centre no other clubs wanted. Otherwise keep him out of the game until 2029.

    Although, in all seriousness, he doesnt want to play league right now. Read the tea leaves, he is bored of the game. Reached the highest level and it still wasnt enough. He wont be in the NRL. 

    • You're right. He looked done with rugby league before he got to us. He's not looking at coming back at all.
