To most people, me included, the Lomax thing feels pretty black and white.
He asked for a release to go to R360. He got that release on the condition he wouldn’t sign with another NRL club. He signed it. Done.
Simple. Or at least it should be.
But something doesn’t quite smell right. It can’t be that clean. There has to be something we’re missing.
He’s lawyered up, and not with someone who’s just going through the motions. You don’t dig your heels in like this unless you think you’ve got a case.
So what is it? What don’t we know?
The whole “I signed when Brad Arthur was coach and Clint Gutherson helped bring me in” argument doesn’t really stack up. He played an entire season after they were both gone and never looked publicly unhappy. And unless there’s some clause in his contract saying he can walk if the coach leaves, which we definitely would have heard about by now, that’s not something that holds much weight legally.
So what’s the angle?
Because if this was truly black and white, it would already be over.

We did the opposite of restrain his trade, we encouraged and facilitated his trade.
However, this is not about winning or losing of Lomax plays NRL again in the next 3 seasons.
This is about us receiving something in return for his services. Under the table player trades happen way more often than people think.
We need a player or multiple players to be released to sign for us from the Storm and then he can go.
im also hoping the recent season long injury to Joliffe in the GC reopens discussions for Matterson.
If you lost Joliffe would you replace him with Matto?....it's like replacing your car with a banana
