  Yep. Every single other club is on our side, but the storm just keep proving what type of club they are

    They are a transplant. The rest of the body is starting to reject them

      Ha! They're a non-critical organ. Cut them out and be done with them.

Storm need to fast track this and get Lomax into their system and stop fcn around and give the Eels a player.

This legal issues could go on for months which Melbourne don't want. Another club could easily undermine them and offer the Eels decent compensation with a player we need.

I don't think the court case will come to a conclusion before a team jumps in .

I think this will all be resolved within a month.

  The Storm are delaying things. They dont want him enough to swap a player. Next.
  
  The longer it goes on the worse for Lomax. Especially if he is paying his own legal fees.

"What if we do not have cap space for Lomax? We have 2 spots in our top 30, $120k minimum, to spend.
So yeah we could have $600k left over but what if that all goes to Lomax and have no money to complete our top 30?"
