    • Why, he never left on bad terms. And was honest about it with Ryles. We let him go to chase the top dollar that eventually never seemed real, so I have no doubt in my mind parra will tell an Australian/NSW blues winger to get lost for setting himself up for life. Some of you fans really need to get a grip of reality, NRL is a short career not long loyalty to yourself and team second. Hope he comes back. 

    • shane  I don't think there is any question of him being guilty of something..... proving he left for 360 is now totally irrelevant.

      Do you want a better side or not and whether he wants to continue with Parra and the reason/rationale is the only thing that counts, it seems from Jack William's response they (the players) would welcome him with open arms. They and the coaching staff's goodwill are the only one's to have onside if he is genuinely wanting to return.

      Reading in between the lines there would seem to be a problem that we don't understand or are unaware of.

  • The money would need to be a bit lower .you cant make a fool of  your boss .

    • ...Matto has entered the chat...

       

    • Smart bosses don't let that happen. 

      Politis was in a position of saying he would not deal with Tedesco's manager, convenience worked out and it was completed through a third party.....do you think Politis felt like a fool or could give a stuff.

      A few of you guys hang out for the high moral ground.....no such thing in business if there is a way around it.

  • I would take Lomax back as he is better than any other option at the club or on the market.  The risk isn't that Lomax won't be committed or will ruin morale and what Ryles is working on, I think the risk is the circus towards the end of 2027 and lead up to 2028 when R360 comes back but we can deal with that then.  Ryles systems should be entrenched throughout our juniors by then giving us more options for players we lose.

    R360 will come back a bigger threat than it was this year.  I reckon the reason it didn't get up was the upcoming Rugby World Cup and players not wanting to miss out.  They are reporting it as lack of money but that is unlikely with Saudi's involved and is more likely R360 not wanting to admit that players wouldn't commit after the top nations said they couldn't compete in the world cup.

    Any player who is unlikely to make the rugby world cup 2031 will consider the money and R360 in 2028.  Once top rugby players get announced then I think NRL talent will follow as it will have legitimacy.  There were more players waiting to see the outcome if the comp got up or not.

    As the rugby world cup is in October November 2027, the R360 signing announcements will occur just after November 1 contract negotiations which will cause chaos leading into 2028 with some players pushing for release or walking out on clubs.

    I really hope we get our recruitment and retention in order before then, because after top rugby players are announced NRL talent will follow and clubs will have to fill the gaps and raid juniors from clubs like Parra.

  • I don't really think he left then all of a sudden this revelation came to light. Just before Lomax was released RTS said he is staying. Then after word he said to my contact that Haas had signed with R360, Haas said he would stay at Brisbane. Jye Gray re-signed. Something was happening before that. However, it is funny the only two that did not pull out was Lomax and Papenhuyzen, both clients of Clinton Schfcofske. 

  • Rieko Loane would be a handy replacement for Lomax

    • He's not that guy anymore if you'd have got him 3 years ago yes but not now.You've got to target guys with some juice left Ioane's tanks on E.

"Parra First doesn't mean Parra Stupid. Ryles believes Pezet is good for Parra. Since when is more halves depth dumb? If you don't want to help player development for others, don't sign anyone, don't have juniors. Because plenty will end up elsewhere."
