"NRL are only acting as mediators. The contract still holds. As long as we dont fold and the contract is deemed legal we still hold the cards. Allowing a player to effectively break 3 contracts in 2 years is a bad look for the game and would set a…"

"Draft systems don't solve the issue of poorly run clubs (see, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets). They can also kill or damage a player's career. See Sam Darnold being drafted by the Jets, playing poorly, then getting bounced around as a backup before…"

"We don't need Blore, Kautoga has more upside."

"I would hate the draft process. I love watching the juniors and seeing them progress through the grades into FG for parra. That largely becomes futile if the draft process comes in. The reason the same team is at the top is not because of no draft…"

"time to get some lube & tissues, can rub a quick one out on this lil' hottie"

"Yeah if we get Shawn Blore, guarantee Williams will end up back in the middle. "

"Basically yeah, nrl goal is to work out a suitable deal between all parties "

"Everyone needs to take a chill pill.
Parra will end up with a first grader and some cash. There is no grand conspiracy, PVL/NRL want Lomax back in the league, Storm want a high level Centre to help round out their best 17. Everyone is happy, Blore…"

"I'd assume if Lomax does end up at Storm and no real player swap is done then he would be banned from playing against the eels until end of 2028 at least. The other clubs would suffer and have to face the storm with a free rep player. They have a…"

"Parramatta need to front the NRL and ask if they are in agreement with Lomax and the Storm breaking the law. The Eels need to ask Valandys to explain exactly what a contract means.
As for Lomax i think he doesn't wants to play union in case he…"

"Hi Macy. At a recent executive meeting, the 15 other clubs not involved in this saga unanimously supported the Eels' stance regarding Lomax/Melbourne. They all confirmed that they agree with the Eels stance. The Eels need to use this support and let…"

"Well LB that's not Parras problem and it for sure isn't and shouldn't hold any sway with regards to the nrl being involved.
This purely is an A and B transaction we want this you have give up that we hold the high ground Melbourne have to pay a…"

"AFL love them or hate them have perfected it. Nrl is decades behind "

"I feel too there is a bit of feeling that this will be Bellamy's last hurrah and what better way to go out then with a title? Lomax helps with that."

"The draft process also stops the same teams being at the top for 15-20 years, as is the case in the nrl. Gotten to the point no one really cares about who wins the comp because it's the same 3-4 teams every year "

"Good point Coryn, Test Cricket is a great example, I'm a purist and love Test Cricket, not so much the shorter versions of the game. The inevitability of the games profitability is audience participation and parental involvement in the shorter…"
