Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent - Lomax case settled

[Chins]

LU has gone from the denial to anger stage of grief now

The only anger will be if that bum Marky Mark ends up on the wing for NSW with selfish trick play football.

They offered them money to stay away from R360 lol

… hilarious…

They need a Saudi backed streaming service that could show this comp worldwide.

I'd call it WAZN...

Haas next?

He'll earn the same at the Broncos over the rest of his life. Lomax I get but Payne would be silly to go

If it’s tax free he would be crazy to say no

After tax its close to four times his broncos contract

Walsh and Cleary would be the only two nrl players that would make a difference to making it watchable.

They are the games most marketable and talented stars

Broncos will just get Tino they will be all good

At the end of the day Lomax isn't really a great loss but I still think the NRL needs to be more proactive here and introduce a system where the top players salaries aren't capped.

1 or 2 players from each team should not be included in the salary cap. With 20 teams, that's potentially 40 of the best NRL players protected. Broncos could easily afford to keep Haas if they were allowed.

Would you stay at a job for 50k over the next 5 years? Or take the 250k for one year?

Might as well just rename it the Broncos Roosters League

Its only 1 or 2 players lol. I'm not calling for the salary cap to be abolished.

Like Paps, he’s releasing himself from an NRL contract to avoid a 10 year ban

That’s not how the rule is written though.

At this point in my life with young kids I'd be staying put

Wtf are the nrl doing did they learn nothing when the game lost Radradra

nrl should of came in and topped Lomax contract up .losing the best winger in the game is a very bad look

I don't think that crap is going to work. You have to 'apply' to work with the NRL. The NRL can just say no.

'Sorry Zac but we aren't recruiting shithouse players at the moment. Maybe check in when we bring back the Adelaide Rams'.

 

[T-Boon]

I don’t think that will work. Just ban them anyway.

I mean if you had to choose one player to abandon his NRL career in the pursuit of riches, Lomax would have been paying $1.01, right?

Ryan Matterson?
