"that's on Lomax, his agent and his legal team, not Parramatta. If R360 made promises to him they couldn't fulfil, its on Lomax to take R360 to court. "

"If you lost Joliffe would you replace him with Matto?....it's like replacing your car with a banana"

"R360 didn't exist at all when Lomax requested, and obtained, the release. It still doesn't. Lomax never had a contract there, as neither did any other player, including RTS. So, Lomax doesn't have an argument that his circumstances have changed. And…"

"Absolutely Melbourne have been cooking this up for months, no doubt in breach of anti-tampering laws. But the NRL don't want to go digging there again. "

"Exactly. And the court cannot rule on what would be considered 'fair value'. That is purely up to Parramatta to decide. "

"Probably believed he was worth more is more likely right. However that is on him. He could have went to Parramatta and said "Hey, since i have signed with you i have played Origin 2 years in a row and toured for Australia, could we look into an…"

"We did the opposite of restrain his trade, we encouraged and facilitated his trade. However, this is not about winning or losing of Lomax plays NRL again in the next 3 seasons. This is about us receiving something in return for his services. Under…"

"Lol Lomax cried to the NRL, Melbourne did also. Never been told no in a long time. Gallop did once and got abused by many in the game for doing the right thing. "

"I doubt it as outside the NRL would include SL even. Union, AFL, UFC, Boxing, Golf even. If R360 didn't eventuate there is an ample amount of opportunities still there."

"In all essence this case is very black n white but Lomax's lawyers will be looking for avenues that will highlight different that's the key here is for us not to get drawn into the Lomax arguement but to stay on track and highlight what's been…"

"Not to mention all the other teams in Rugby he could be playing in."

"It's now out of the NRL's hands. If the court says the conditions of the release are valid and still stand then that is that. The NRL can't stomp all over the Eels' legal rights.  Lomax told the Eels in writing he was proceeding with the Storm…"

"You'd think it's in the NRL's best interest to be on Parra's side here. If they take the side of Lomax then every player contract means nothing. This is bigger than a single case- it could open up a world where players do whatever they want,…"

"When the announcement was made by the Eels regarding the dispute with Lomax, the club made a very important note in their commentary- the agreement was made in 'Good Faith'. This is a very important principle in legal agreements- both parties agree…"

"Yeah, but does that count if the opportunity never eventuated, is what I think they'll argue"

"Yep, but fuck I hope not. The Nrl should be on parras side here"
