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.

"I'd take Lomax back in a heartbeat. NSW, Australian rep players don't come along that often. Not to Parra anyways. "
"He will end up back at Parra "
"Lomax might be alright now knowing he is just missing training in the heat, but come round 1 next year, I dont care what he says, he is going to be feeling like a deadset fool."
"Fair point. His big payday is gone. I never believed it was real. Seemed like a sketchy business plan. "
"" the whole trans dynamics" ....I can't...I just...LOL

"Chance we get Nelson on the cheap for 2026 now that R360 ruled out."
"But gus has never met paps lol"
"Yeah, NRL not an option for Lomax. Assume Paps is free to do as he wishes. Still might chase some European or Japanese rugby bux."
"Paps will be off to bears, no idea what Lomax does but doubt parra wants him back he's too flaky. Lost out on his 2.1 million lol "
"Cant play for another NRL team for 3 years. Boxing or rugby for a couple of years."
"Big chance it's Perth bears, think he might take a year off to heal his body up, be a huge pay day for him "
"I reckon Paps ends up at the Bulldogs. Probably Gus' plan all along. "
"I think Lomax wants to get into MMA or something anyway. Probably a good thing we cut ties with him doesn't seem interested in nrl anymore "
"Why can't we have our cake and eat it to.
Taste better than the stuff fans have been eating the last 40 years.
Why shouldn't fans expect more from those that continually let you down.
Maybe that's the clubs real problem there ambition to be the best…"

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
