"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"
"Our side says it's black & white. His side says it's more grey."
"I think the wording was 'opportunities outside of the NRL'. That's what Sarantinos said in the press release. "
"For sure it is. He has other options but only wants Melbourne. I think there's a whisper that the Storm have been behind this from the beginning. If that comes to light this could be huge. "
"Yeah, there must be something like that. The wording of the contract centred around Parra thinking he was definitely playing R360. The contract could be void. "
"Never thought of such foul play. But it is cheating Melbourne, so I wouldn't put it past them. "
"That"s because i'm Abnormal. Fight right in here."
"One would suspect that when he originally signed with Parra, it was before he had that breakout season at the Dragons, which resulting in him playing rep footy. His contract was on less money than at the Dragons, and he probably believed he was…"
"It's a restraint of trade but Parra mentioned other 15 clubs and he said no. Isn't that restraining his own trade?"
"I urgently messaged my contact to ask that question. He said he hasn't seen Zac in weeks but hasn't heard Melbourne until it was released to media. But he did say if it was the plan all along he wouldn't of been told in case it leaked, if it leaked…"
"Haha, Bluey. Hopefully, more fringe posters come out of the woodwork. This blog is now 7th; still rising. I'm expecting an eternal cycle of positivity and negativity, sometimes sliding from one extreme to the other. Keeps things interesting. "
"Melbourne and Lomax thought they could dupe the Eels by saying he was signing with R360 and probably knowing all along that the competition was never going ahead but that Eels more than likely smelt a rat and dug their heelsin by putting in some…"
"Hope he spends the next few years playing for the Western Force on $200k a season. "
"I think there could be a grey area in the contract, where it said he could sign for another team, but the competition never ended up happening so Lomax argues it shouldn't stand. All depends on how detailed the contract was and who put it together."

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…

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
