    as part of the release negotiated with Parramatta, Lomax would have to pay the club $200,000 if he joined proposed rebel competition Rugby 360.....so this was the compensation mentioned at the time.....out of zac's own pocket. McLovin it

      Whoever was advising him, geeze. Dumbest move I've seen in a while from a sporting contract perspective lol

    The Storm was also open to the prospect of taking on another Eels player in a move that would have freed up more salary cap space for the blue and golds – and a top-30 roster spot

    Dis you Matto??? If this was an offer to take Matto off our books we should have jumped at it

    The issue of whether the Eels actually wanted Lomax to fulfil his four-year contract is also likely to be ventilated in court,...Woah...What this now?

  Newcastle waiting on the court to enquire about Zac Lomax, Justin Holbrook is close to him and the family Bradman best just had a kid with Jeff Fench daughter He's looking at moving to Sydney so she's closer to her parents. That might be the trade that Parramatta will be going after if zac cannot play for Melbourne. What's your space

    That is just about the smartest thing I have read on this subject.....Come on Parra executives, buy the lady a cot and a carriage, the best paedatrician money can buy and a scholarship to Kings School.

    Get's the family out of Newy and away from the evil clutches of old boy Dyllon.

    I like this one Blue and Gold,  if Newcastle jumped in with their offer now and beat the Storm to the punch, there may be no need for a court. So assume Newcastle has done that then Lomax is super desperate to only play for last years Grandfinalists and not a team like Newcastle. Having his cake and eating too perhaps.
