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.

"Good on the club. I doubt any other club would want lomax now except the grubs the storm. "
"Sorry I just saw this. That's exactly what I wrote in the other blog. That's exactly what's happened."
"Something doesn't seem right, why would Lomax not want to go to any other club? Me thinks he's been offered huge money to go to Melbourne. Did I hear you say under the table payments or second set of books??? Grubs."
"Interesting to note the agreement Lomax signed off in terms of his release and not being able to sign with another NRL team without Parras permission was signed off on & registered with the NRL as well. "
"Hope Slomax has plenty of money.
A barrister at this level could cost around $5k per day. If he gets a KC/SC might cost $7-8k per day.
The new chairman we have has got balls! Just what we have needed for years

"Good....rub this grub out .... this is how you become a destination club !!!"
"I think with Ryles once Lomax started looking elsewhere at other things 6 months into a 4 year deal. There is no coming back. Ryles is not copping that at all "
"He's been promised a centre spot, possibly from Bellamy dating as far back as Origin. Good odds that Melbourne knew a while ago Papenhuizen was leaving, retiring or going to be medically retired. Meaney to fullback and Lomax into centres would have…"

"Maybe Bourban Man can chime in here. Whilst this seems fairly straightforward, the courts don't always do what seems obvious. I'd imagine Lomax's legal team will be arguing that it's an unreasonable restraint given that the intention was for Lomax…"

Melb wants to take all in the negotiations. Fck Lomax and fck Storm.If there's other clubs willing to offer fair value, the door is still open. Finally this club has developed a back bone! "

"From experience, Arthur Moses is one of the very best"
"Same here and totally agree with the stance taken."
"So why does Lomax hate us all of a sudden if he want to come back to NRL you think he come back to us after all he and Moses sirpose to be friends "
"Just got the saw email from the club . Well done to the club "

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
