        I don't want to prolong this as we have all said our peace but what "historical bias" exists in the courts? Jarryd Hayne took him 3 goes to get it right, we might take it to "appeal" if we lose and are not being satisfied for the reasons why....... For the same reasons the NRL maybe behind us, its a disaster for them if we lose!!! cannot emphasise that enough!

        So you can appeal a state Supreme court decision now?
        
        To who?

      Notwithstanding all the rhetoric LB and assume you are right. Would Zac believe it is in his interests to continue to persue the case legally (without Storm's involvement) as it then gives him rights to negotiate with anyone......within the NRL, the only body he currently cannot deal with. I assume his lawyer will decide if its in his interest's to persue.
      
      If ZAC has half a brain he would negotiate with Parra (assume they would listen to his plea) and discuss a contract to finish the year with Parra having a club option for another period. That at least would provide breathing room for all parties......I can see our fans going beserk over this but they left Simmonsson off the hook, stranger things happen?
      
      PS Lomax would start in Reserve Grade?

        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?

        Well first things first, you don't know what cap issues are.....can be manipulated very easily.
        
        Lomax would be the 29th player, that would leave one more if someone became available. He realistically would not stay in Reserve Grade
        
        Now putting this in perspective, I would see it highly unlikely probably about a 80/1 chance but cannot see the logic, when putting all the imponderables aside the last thing you would worry about is finding 600k for a player of Lomax's availability playing.

        We would only need 300k as he would leave mid-season due to pregnancy or whatever....it's kind of his thing
