What happens now? Players want their new pay deal ratified or will not turn up to training on Monday which will hold up the competition return. The tail is wagging the dog.

Lol this is on a Melbourne fan forum. We dogged him and he has been dogged around? What a bunch of idiots down there. He wanted to go to R360 and was advised badly. He is an adult that is the way it goes. But also it is fact he is a better Winger…"

"I will add, does not mean something hasn't happened, just from what i was told doesn't seem that way and he left on pretty good terms, him and Ryles were on good terms during the process of asking for a release and getting it."
"Maybe Parramatta do not want him at the money he is receiving. I mean again haven't heard otherwise but doesn't mean something else is there where Ryles doesn't want Lomax in the squad whether personality or anything else.
Yeah why doesn't he want…"

"Yeah get a top quality player and a decent player 2 way swap."
"I am getting strong Morgan Harper vibes with this signing."
"Fair call actually."
"Zac Lomax has zero moral compass."
"Spot on 🤣🤣🤣 just hang up the phone "
"Tell them to stick their request up their collective arse. Lomax can play Union or do UFC and if he doesn't like those options he can take up fishing."
"If Kelly can fix he's defence up, he will be a good signing. He's definitely got the attacking qualities, I think he will replace Russell at centre, Simonson has to be on the wing for the yardage carry's "
"To me, because Melb requested permission to sign him immediately means he's onboard to play for the Storm. If it was just a matter of wanting to play NRL, you would think it would be in his release contract that he could come back to the Eels,…"
"Poppa, the source I mentioned a few times has been pretty spot on. It was mentioned to me the price of him was a factor, not main factor but it was mentioned. Lomax had no issues with Parra or Ryles, he wanted to go to R360 and travel the world. Him…"

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

I'm in the players corner here. They agreed to a 75% pay cut until the game could restart, and I agree it was necessary, but if they are going to start playing again, and presumably getting broadcast income flowing again, then the players want to know what their pay arrangements are going to be, and fair enough.
The 75% cut was for the duration of when the game wasn't operating, once it starts operating and the game gets some cash flow the players deserve to be paid accordingly. The NRL has thus far not addressed this concern, however I'm sure they will. The players desperatley want to start playing again, but they don't want to be taken for granted, and fair enough.
The other issue is around the Warriors. They have to be in quarantine for 14 days after they arrive before they can start training. The Warriors players are understandably concerned that this hasn't been nailed down yet, and they aren't prepared to commit to traveling across the ditch and then being in quarantine without a deal in place. Again, fair enough I say.
There is an agreement already in place if the competion resumes,the players get 29.5 pc of any revenue from then on, it is not yet known how much that will be. The players and that wanna be Newton continue to throw up road blocks , cance the comp for gods sake and let these self entilted shits cry about that, I had hopes the comp wopuld resume on rhe 28th, not any more.
Thats fine if they dont - no-one wins. Seriously both fox and ch 9 could be stubborn too in light of the players behaviours this week. No-one wins. AFL will be back soon as will some o/seas soccer....there will be sport to watch somewhere. The marbles has even taken off.....
Well the Belorussian Premier League has been playing this whole time. It's the only professional sport that has continued operating uninterrupted.
Yes Brett and its good stuff. I congratule those Belorussians, a tough race.
i agee with the playes but the reality is that they will play. They are fully paid up untilk the end of May whic means they are obligated to turn up and train, after that they wont get paid a cent. All of the players i have spoken to are so worried abou their next paycheck, despite some of these players being marquee players that they would do anything to get back and play.
All of the club officials i have spoken to are also confident of the game restarting. Storm in a teacup
As long as our guys want to turn up and train i dont give a crap what the others do
