"Ok same question to you as LB, who should we get and when?"

"Exactly, why let him sit on the sideline or in Union, we get nothing out of it. At least get something in return. Not just anything but something pretty good."

"I would be really happy with Howarth, i think that is on the line of a deal where it is both fair value and nearly realistic of getting done. Still a long shot but i could see Howarth. Coates is a fantasy for example. 
Blore and Warbrick i wouldn't.…"

"Right now Lomax is only a piece of paper to the Eels. Like say a $100 note. It's not helping us until we exchange it for something tangible and of value. A decent player swap benefits our squad. Being intransigent may make us feel powerful but it…"

"Who floats your boat LB? I'm not talking about anyone that just gets a deal over the line. I mean someone that you think there's no way we're getting him. Where we walk away feeling like we've come out on top. Remember, Lomax is pretty well…"

"No that's false. They wanted to come out of this not losing players. There is a chance they will. They get Lomax but they lost their goal overall and we won getting what we asked for.
You say no deal screw them, but we are stronger trading him for a…"

"NO deal, fuck them

I think that could happen but both players ineligible for Round 1."

"Right and why would we accept that now? Why go through subpoenaing the NRL to accept what Melbourne originally offered?"

"Cap relief would be an unfair advantage the NRL would be giving Parra over the other 15 clubs. I highly doubt that's something the NRL should or would give"

"Blore wants back to Sydney, why would he head to the Warriors"

"Most probably be Cap relief and transfer fee, player swap unlikely."

"Did the storm adhere to the release agreement when they entered into a provisional contract with Lomax that was lodged with the nrl without our knowledge or consent? They're negotiating now because it's the only play they've got and external…"

"Exactly. Our leverage is at its greatest now. Storm and NRL want it to go away. If the trial goes ahead and we lose leverage gone. If we win but the term of the deed is reduced we lose leverage. And if we go to trial and embarrassing stuff about the…"

"Storm (and NRL) are desperate to keep this out of court, hence the last minute negotiations. I'm confident that the Eels Barrister is sitting on a goldmine of incriminating evidence that the Storm (and NRL) absolutely do not want coming out into the…"
