Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Lorax didn’t sign or play a game for R360.
You can’t ban someone for something they was going tj do but never did.
The Eels have not even mentioned wanting Lomax to play with them in 2026, I doubt they even have the cap space to now fit him in even if they wanted to.
That being the case why are they fighting to make him have to sit out and not play for any NRL team, it’s just petty.
PVL doesn’t like petty bull crap and justifiably so.

Who is Lorax?

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.

Yes but they do not want Lomax back, they are only trying to get something in return.
That is understandable, but they should have at least had the intention of him returning and playing for them before making such a song and dance about it.

Dr. Suess character?

In any case:
1. Lomax walked out on a four year contract after one season. He also quit St. George with two years left there to join Parramatta because he didn't want to play on the wing.

2. Parra said "Fine. Go chase the big bucks in R360, but unless we agree to it, you can't play for another nrl team until your contract with us would've expired."

3. Lomax signed that agreement as terms of his contractual release.

4. Parra uses the money they now had to get Pezet for a year, or whoever else to cover the loss of him and Brown.

5. R360 delayed by... probably forever.

6. Lomax and his manager realise they've fked up big time.

7. Tough shit Lomax.

It's not Parramatta's fault he chased money and it didn't work out how he wanted.

Imagine if this were a tigers' player trying this.... I'd have even less sympathy for him, and right now that's sitting right at zero.

These Storm texts don’t look good for the NRL. I’m interested to know when they were sent, and then when PVL came out saying how it was important for Lomax to stay in the NRL. Corrupt assholes.

A lot of people could get sacked over this incident.

I'm amazed Storm were happy to let this go to court.
 
Vicious said:
Reports are Parramatta told Lomax they don’t want him back.
If that is proven it would mean they are fighting tj block him playing elsewhere, but don’t want him themselves, that is very petty.

No, it's not. Enforcing a legally binding contract is not petty. It's what professional clubs do.

We just don't have a clue because we're so unprofessional and just rollover when under pressure
 
Vicious said:
That is the reason PVL is on the side of Melbourne Storm.
Why should a player be forced to go to another code just because the club he was contracted to is being petty and doesn’t want him playing rugby league at all ?
Both low clubs the Eels and Bulldogs.

Because those are the terms he agreed to in order to be released from Parra.

It's very simple stuff.

He is breaking a legal contract, the Storm are trying to pressure Parra to let him break his contract, and the storm have tried to coerce the NRL to support their crimes.

Whether parra wants him or not is completely irrelevant. He quit, they moved on and spent his cap space, they can't just undo all that because he's a complete and utter Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon.

If found guilty of blackmailing the NRL there could be severe repercussions for the Storm.

I hate Parra as much as anyone, but Lomax and the stormy are 1000% in the wrong here.

From now on he will be known as Lorax

If he was in Ron Massey Cup or a train and trial you'd be happy to keep him. As a top 30 player he just doesn't have it. You can't carry him and the likes of Seyfarth in your top 30.

Sometimes I think we get caught up in unrealistic expectations of how good depth should be,especially when you have been the worst club for 15 years. Sukkar is 21 years old, never gets dominated when carrying the ball landing on his front, makes his tackles and runs a hole. Thats the definition of decent depth. Yes he needs to get better, but at 21 he will. More than happy to have him starting regularly in State Cup. Solid back up.

He wishes he was anywhere near as good as Eisenhuth. Sukkar couldn't make more than 5m in a hit up unless his opponent falls over.

Show me one hit up in the NRL Sukkar has been dominated. Your making it up BB as you dont seen a potential gun player in him. I dont see a gun player in him either, but what i do see is a youngster who came off the bench a couple of times when we were getting pumped and he looked our best defender as the others all scambled like amateurs. That alone is enough for me to have him as 5th option backrow, which is where he is placed. Think about that, hes our 5th option. More than happy woth that
