"See that's the thing. They had trades but are against any conversation of getting rid of November 1 transfer date.

"Macy, a little bit of siege mentality to get Eels fans through the season might not be such a bad thing. The community already has "ref did it" patented so now we can extend to the entire NRL. Regardless of Lomax outcome, in fact, as "they tried to…"
