Wow congrats to Parra for standing their ground. Glad to see that occasionally the morally right outcome wins out.
I'm guessing that court case would have dished out some juicy tidbits neither Zac or the Storm wanted out in public.
See ya Zac, you clown.

Can someone enlighten me into what the Storm and NRL could possibly be hiding in relation to this matter?

I've seen hundreds of people suggest that Storm folded because they didn't want anything aired out in court, but if that were the case why did we offer to cover Lomax's legal fees in order for it to go before the courts?

What could the NRL and Storm have done that was so controversial with relation to Zac Lomax? Aside from Trips' text to "apply the blowtorch" (which I admit isn't the best look) I've seen nothing to suggest any monumental scandal.

Seems to me like we tried our luck and Parra wouldn't be strongarmed. That's it?

Really? You can’t see a possible outcome of the blowtorch comment that would’ve been monumentally scandalous? Typical Melbourne

It was just the identity of the person who fitted PVL’s hair piece. Would of been utterly embarrassing if that ever got out.

On the flip side why would the Storm take it so far pay for Lomax lawyer and then fold like a pack of cards prior to the hearing and after the Eels got the evidence 🤔

maybe this isn't the first time the storm have asked the nrl to apply the blowtorch which raises the question who else has copped the hot end: other teams? referees?

If im being honest the 400k off our salary cap to presumably front load some other contracts to set us up for 2027 does sound very appealing and i can understand why we wouldve wanted to do it. The 300k transfer also wouldve been great for our pathway programs. So although im glad we stuck to our guns, i think the end proposal from the storm was quite good and its a shame matto is a merkin who will do anything to avoid playing.
I don’t think we lost the deal but I agree that final deal should’ve been the one they put out months ago and I’d have been happy with it

Final side note - so we trying to trade for Mitch B this season or what? Otherwise i havent heard many other players wanting to come back to sydney or leave their current club.
I’d take him for Lomax but only for a couple of years at Lomax’s unconfirmed contract value which is $700k a season. Any more and we are paying overs.
