Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent - Lomax case settled

[Marshall_magic]

On what legal basis is PVL going to "intervene"? The NRL were not a party to Lomax's contact between Lomax and Parramatta, nor to his agreement releasing Lomax from that contract. He may seek "alternate" employment opportunities, but he's pushing shit up hill if he thinks he can block it outright.

Frankly, PVL's stance on this is making him into a mockery.

If he’s acting as a broker/mediator I have no problem - trying to help both sides find a middle ground is fine with me. If he’s going to determine what a fair offer is and force Parra to accept - yeah nah, he’s overstepping.

Parra have an agreement with him that he won’t sign with another NRL club before season 2028, an agreement both parties have agreed to. It’s up to Parra to waive that should the right offer come along. It is not up to Parramatta to look out for the good of the game. There’s a Mitch Barnett ckming soon to the negotiation table - maybe Zac can go and play for the Wahs.

Maybe PVL will help him find another NRL club.
1 year deal for 2026. Perth Bears from 2027 ?
Just thinking out loud.

If Parramatta don't agree to what you suggest for 2026 and 2027 it wouldn't happen. In relation to playing in the NRL prior to 2028, the Eels hold the "Royal Flush" in this matter.

I think Parramatta just want someone of a similar quality and if another NRL Club have someone willing then it could happen.

Will you cry if I don't ?

Think it's the same basis as the 10 year ban...

Pvl is an idiot

Lomax has ruined his career this is the best lesson for other stars who were thinking of doing this

Now they can see they can do what they want and Pvl will cave anyway

Ten year bans went to ten min bans

PVL is currently negotiating a new broadcast deal and needs everything perfect for him to get that record deal. The last thing he wants is one of the NRL's competitors benefiting off the sport. So I completely get where he's coming from.

I trust PVL knows about this a lot more than we do. The NRL is better having Lomax in it than not.

Lomax for Perth Red, straight swap?

Lomax for Perth Red, straight swap?

Not even Parramatta deserves that awful prick

Even Wayne Bennett has little sympathy for Lomax's situation.

Lomax to Bears in 2028?

 

[Wb1234]

 

[Fangs]

Its basically a holiday for Lomax. He is unsure about living in Perth and the constant travel required.

 

[Exsilium]

Glad we wont have to hear about Lomax for a couple years. What a debacle.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

See you later dumbass!!

Hope he finds a good therapist over there.

lol.

 

[Wb1234]

Ziggy would’ve provided a nice top up

His company sponsors the dragons too so he would know about Lomax

Upside is when the deal is over he’s a good chance to play for the bears as he’s already over there

 

[Foreign Legion]

So how much did Zomax loss overall to move over to Rugby?

The lips on Lomax! Never once heard an athlete complain about travel, particularly after they’ve torpedoed their own career.
