Seems like this R360 could be a load of crap

It's a tricky situation for ryles and the club, if lomax does want to come back to the NRL and not pursue other options do the eels,
1. Take him back, which would have an element of risk as he might look to get out again in the near future, he has history, done it twice already.
2. Allow him back in the NRL with another club with absolutely no benefit to the eels and having to play against him.
Or 3. Don't allow him back into the NRL and make him suffer the consequences of his actions. This would come across as being mean spirited and severely impact lomax financially which could make the eels a very unfavourable destination for other players.
I'd take Lomax back in a heartbeat. NSW, Australian rep players don't come along that often. Not to Parra anyways.
Not a bad move here but if those who are choosing to go get a chance to up speed there development in the game and it opens the market right up right after a RWC.Players from all over the world looking for a payday.
Do you feel Coryn this could be a sidestep to let the World Cup happen then just scoop the pool full of Rugby players? Instead of getting, i am just spitballing a number for argument sakes, 20 Rugby players pre WC, they could get 150 post WC?
Is that the plan? Maybe too the extra time allows them to actually get things right in terms of finance too. At the moment the NRL have a state of relief, though not in the clear.
I love the bottom picture of Lomax, like he is saying "Oh F***" seeing a sign on the door.
It had gone quiet on my connection as in he didn't hear from Lomax for a little bit since he last heard he had signed with R360. But now other avenues are opening up like MMA and Boxing. It is a weird one.
Does R360 get off the ground? Who knows now, this delay has lowered to chances perhaps. But what will Lomax do for 2 years maybe 3 if R360 doesn't start til the backend of 2028?
If he tries to return we have his rights as apart of his release. We use it to our advantage in player trade. If Roosters want him as they want everyone, that is fine we will get someone in return worth similar value. If we cannot, no deal is made and Lomax's rights are still at Parramatta. We are actually in a decent position here until 2029.
I think you would find if that bottom photo dropped a bit lower that Zac is whacking one out.
Good to see that he gets off in his Eels gear
Wow, who could have seen this coming
The really dumb thing here from Paps and Lomax, is that they have no leverage. Their contract value isn't on the cap, so neither Melbourne or Parra have any incentive to allow them to play for another club. Every other player that agitates for a release provides the added bonus of their pay coming off the cap.
If Storm and Eels don't want to release them to another NRL side, they don't have to and it won't hurt their cap.
Paps is free to sign wherever he likes, Eels made sure to put a clause in because Lomax still had 3 years left on his deal. I don't think he'll be coming back to the nrl he can go do mma or fighting or whatever he wants to do lol
The problem with taking such a strong stance is other players would look at the club in bad light and see the eels as an unfavourable destination.
You can guarantee the players as a whole will support the return of lomax and paps.
