"That's a decent reply. Would Brisbane be interested? Perhaps, though they did win a comp with Karapani and Mariner, though both premiership winners they are still cheaper than Lomax. Use that extra money elsewhere. But Piakura not sure on, he is a…"
"The Storm must have realised how screwed that are from a legal perspective and needed Abdo to apply the blowtorch to help them from copping this on the cap, not just getting the deal done.
Every day is another hit for them. I hope they keep coming."

"Well V'Landys said they would not break rules with the cap to advantage Storm or Eels. This won't be an advantage for Storm of course so does that go in line?"
"Clintorian, I'd be flabbergasted if this isn't casually swept under the rug.
Regardless of outcomes, it makes me smile we are playing a different game —pulling the rug away with the power of the subpoena.
Legal muscle and daylight. If you can't beat…"

"Im thinking some of the savvy, experienced and high performing operators around the game will see this as an opportunity to pull a double whammy on their rival. Think about the possibility presenting itself to Penrith, Roosters, Sharks, Bulldogs and…"
"This is pretty funny really. The fact that Melbourne just assumed this would be OK suggests they have done similar things before and not been pinged for it by the salary cap auditors. No doubt the NRL sweeps under the carpet issues that are found…"
"Wow... HOE, this is what I was looking for as I wasn't sure how Storm could be forced to pay for his legal bills.
THIS IS HUGE!

"Beach should text Abdo to apply the blowtorch to the salary cap auditors..."
"It's become clear to most rugby league proponents, that Peter V'Landys isn't the brightest crayon in the box. His handling of the Lomax affair has been incredibly poor, even clumsy and biased. I'm convinced that from this point forward he will say…"

"The Storm will not enforce this. That is my gut feeling here; they should but we know they no nuts."
"Daz, I think we are going to be in a stronger spot in 12 months - with some of these players having almost 2 seasons under their belts. Issue is always going to be around Moses and injury and Pez (Dispenser) helps here.

"Bear I read that too and had a laugh; Parra make clicks it seems. How abt Easts / Manly / C'bury / Melb and Souffs? Ryles is going along in a smart way for me. Journos can talk tripe."
"you can guarantee the NRL will NOT include this in the storms salary cap."
"Ahaha this is just too good. I'd love to know if this hadn't have gone to court, if this would've been off the books. Salary cap cheaters doing what they do best."
"Sure are, that's exactly what I was thinking with the mental health claims. They (Lomax) are digging themselves a bigger and bigger hole the further this progresses. "

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
