They didn’t want Lomax because of his contract and agreed to release him on certain conditions, including Parra providing permission if he is to play for another NRL club. Parra are trying to leverage it for a player swap. So they should, contractually they hold all the cards.

PVL was very quick to say players leaving for R360 would get lifetime bans from the NRL. But if Lomax can increase ratings and revenue I suppose he is allowed back…. It’s another great reminder that it is only us fans who are fools. We are the only ones who genuinely care about our teams...

So do the bulldogs and roosters. For whatever reason, we seem to prioritise slower, smaller, weaker, and/or workmanlike players in our juniors.

I think he was the Australian schoolboys rugby full back last year?

I don’t want my state importing and paying to house QLD crims.

I agree this is an often overlooked but extremely important component of us improving this year. If Douhie consistently kicks it 10m longer on average than everyone else (which he does) it is huge in terms of flipping the battle for field position.

I said a long time ago on this forum (before Galvin walked out) that Galvin reminded me of Hastings. Slow runner and too many touches for not enough impact. I was shouted down on the forum. I will be watching the next couple of years of Galvin’s career with interest because if he keeps serving...

When Fittler first retired he was being paid $250k to run the water….

Agree, promoting young blokes before their time hasn’t worked for us in past years. Although, the identification and environment hasn’t helped.

If those figures are true, it’s a great deal for us. Needs to tighten up his defence a bit but the raw ingredients are definitely there.

I’m not sure why he waited until the end of the season to have that conversation.

Bunty will take one. I feel with a team that *needs* to make the top 8 this year it would have been beneficial to have at least one other proven first grader taking up one of those spots. Depth has been our problem for years and we got very lucky last year with injuries and suspensions.

Bula was gone as soon as we went to the media saying we were confident of re-signing him. We have Moses everything he needed. We never learn.

I saw Phil Gould last night. At a Chinese restaurant. He was waiting for takeaway as I was leaving. I asked him if the Bula rumours were true and he responded “no comment”. Make of that what you will.

Richo is gone.

We are screwed. Richo will almost certainly be gone now. It’s basically Richo stays, the 4 independent directors are reinstated, and HBG are out OR HBG stays, Richo goes and the 4 independent directors remain gone. They clearly can’t work together after this. If HBG remain, with puppet...

HBG would want the 4 independent directors and Richo gone. Agree, they would have Richo’s replacement lined up. A Puppet.

Like others, I reckon Richo is as good as gone too. It looks like HBG want him out despite what they say. On the trajectory the club is on, with improvement in all facets likely over the next couple of years, it will only get harder for HBG to get rid of Richo in the future. No doubt they have a...

I’ve been told Zac Lomax is off to the Western Force rugby union. Interesting move. I wouldn’t have thought they could afford him. Let’s see if my mail is correct.

Plenty of reports in the media recently about how the tigers are confident of retaining Bula. Sounds like Isaac Moses has us exactly where he wants us….
